I believe that the Savage 99 was a rotary-magazine fed lever gun.

P.S. Still a cool pic, though.
I believe they had both rotary and inline but the vast majority if not all that I remember seeing were rotary to the best of my memory.

That's not a Savage 99 in the photo.
Looks more like a Winchester 1886 from here.

Savage 1899's had rotary mags and the later models had detachable box mags but none were ever made with tubular magazines.
Agree- apologies perhaps "inline" was the incorrect terminology. I was referencing a box magazine rather than a tube magazine but your point is taken and appreciate you clarifying. Haven't seen one in a long time myself although I seem to remember the vast majority being in 'Savage' branded calibers.
Might just be my locality (or my memory) but I seem to remember the 99 being mostly chambered in 300 Savage. I know this is the Pit and not one of the technical forums and I didn't mean to derail this thread but haven't thought of the 99 in a long time and brought back some good memories arguing between the Savage, Winchester, and Marlin lever guns.
Anywho, I digress and my apologies. Back to your regularly scheduled program...
Mother Nature turned up the volume on my little trout stream. We are expecting a lot more rain tonight. The creek is already several feet over the bridge. Laurel Springs NC.
