I’m surprised that the Savage Model 1899 in .30-30 isn’t more popular.  I don’t think that it was available in .32 Special.  .32-40 and .38-55 are popular due to comparative rarity.  .303 Savage is desirable as it’s the original round the Savage 1895 and 1899 were chambered in.  Which leaves the .30 WCF the odd man out.

Savage was more than likely not too keen on making any of their early Model 1895 or Model 1899 rifles in a competitor’s cartridge.  That stated, I have seen at least a few Savage Model 1899s in both 30-30 and 32 Win Spl.

Yes.  I have a friend who is a serious Savage collector, and I believe that he has one.

As I reflect on this thread, I recall one family member – a great uncle – hunted with a 94 .30-30 carbine.  I recall it replaced his M1876 .40-60 that he used for many years.  I remember his .40-60.  It was a round barrel that had been cut.  I recall that was especially unfortunate as the receiver of the rifle had a very high percentage of original case color remaining.  I don’t think my great uncle would have used it if the barrel had been left at 28 inches with full magazine.  The reason many of the Winchesters we see have cut barrels was not done without logical and pragmatic thought.
