Savage model 99

[rm1911]

I hunt with a friend who has an old one in 308. He's killed more deer with it than I can count. Not that I can count that high but he's got a garage full of antlers. If you find one buy it. Great rifles.

How can you say they're ugly? That hammerless look and rounded lever are dead sexy to me. I may be UN the minority but I've seen way uglier guns than the 99

Thanks for the advice rm1911 just waiting for an answer. osis32 I can agree it not the prettiest rifle but I can also agree its not ugly. I would say IMO the ugliest lever gun would have to be Winchester 1887 shotgun. that being said I would love to find one. I also think in terms of firearms that are ugly again just my opinion the Rossi Circuit judge is hard to look at. Cool concept but really cheesy looking.

I have a model 99 in the speedy 250-3000. I love it. I have killed a lot of jack rabbits with the 75grain varmit rounds....My grandma put a couple of bucks on the table before handing it down to me...Great gun!

Whew, our aesthetics are far apart... The Winchester model 95 and the Browning BLR take a little getting used to (I think it's the lack of a tubular magazine), but the Savage is in a world of its own on the aesthetics front.

I've known girls like that... Super comfy, fun to play with, and make you want more but not necessarily something that makes think 'I need to show off to my friends!'.

I've only hunted with my 99 in .308 once back in the late 80's but, it produced a nice buck. I really need to pull the old thing out and take it to the range soon.

I got a lead from another member in the process of picking one up guys. Once I get her I will post pictures. Glad to hear that there are other members out there that still shot these. CSACANNONEER definitely take her out for some fresh air. Post some pics of your guys rifles. You guys rock scopes or open sights? I already have a Ruger left hand bolt in 308 so I might rock the iron sights. Last buck I got was with my Winchester 30-30 at about 30 yards so I figure open sight would be just fine.

Savage 99s with <6 digit s/n s are c&r . Get one before 1/2014. I scored a 300 savage with scope 3yrs ago for $375.
Fun was working up a load with 150 hornady amax bullet. Hunting in c-zone on saturday with mine

yeah we have different tastes obviously :P you must like the boxy lines of cadillac while I prefer something more rounded like a mercedes.

I just filled out my application for C&R 03FFL. Thanks for the heads up hk91666. Just need to mail it out and play the wait game now. Hopefully it doesn't take as long as some of the other posts I have read, 6 months?!? How long did you have to wait?

So should I apply for the COE now or after I get my C&R?

I inherited a Savage 99F from my dad. I haven't fired it in 40 years. It's a nice one made in the 1950's. The last time I fired it, I had a difficult time zeroing it. By the 3rd shot the point of impact drifted significantly. I had to let it cool off for 20 minutes between groups......

Mine too is .300 Savage with peep site made in the 50's.
