Savage 99
The model 99 is Savage's famous hammerless lever action. It uses a internal rotary magazine (later models were also available with a detachable box magazine) allowing the use of spitzer bullets, making it a very popular hunting rifle while it was in production.

These included .300 Savage, .308 Winchester, .243 Winchester, .284 Winchester, .358 Winchester, .22 High Power, and .303 Savage (there were other calibers but these were the most common) during the 100 odd years that it was manufactured.
