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.Savage 1899's had rotary mags and the later models had detachable box mags but none were ever made with tubular magazines.View attachment 8511068Savage 99C
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...
