Gun Of The Week - Answer
That's the Savage Model 99 (as in 1899) lever-action. It featured an innovative rotary magazine, allowing it to use bullets designs with pointed tips (e.g., spitzer) without the possibility of accidental discharge in the magazine as was present on tubular-magazined lever actions like the Winchester M94. The Model 99 was manufactured for nearly a century - 99 years.
