1955 Savage Model 99 Featherweight .243
This was the first "big rifle" I shot as a little kid. A '55 Model 99 .243 that I think weighs a little over six lbs. I expected it to knock me down but of course it was just fine. My dad traded it back and forth with his friends through the years then eventually kept it. He carved the stock at one point in the early '60s. Now it's a cherished heirloom.

Unlike most hand carving jobs, your dad did a really nice job. He went with a tang sight, and the .243 cartridge. He must have had really good taste. Great gun, subtle and attractive carving, tang sight, appropriate cartridge for the gun weight.
Geez. Don't let that one go. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk |

My dad gave me a 1948 Savage 99 in .300 for my 40th birthday. Keep your eyes peeled here and I'll start a Savage 99 appreciation thread soon and maybe you can post yours. I love the variations of these and studied the frack out of them. My .300 is the most common EG Model.

300 Savage is a sweet round. The 308 is based on the 300 Savage.
Ammo selection is limited, but still a nice cartridge. |

Sweet rifle. I have my dads old deer hunting rifle. Savage 99 in .308. His dad bought it used for my dad in the mid to late 40's I believe. Took a lot of deer with that rifle he did.

Wow, cool rifle chambered in a great cartridge. Nice. I’ve always had a soft spot for .243. Such an awesome round.
I wish my 99G was in .243...I’ve got one in .303 Savage. Not .300, .303 haha!!

Me, too. Henry makes a 308 mag fed lever that I have been thinking about picking up.
