I found a Savage 99 in 308, I might get it, always wanted one.

I have had one of these on my "to buy" list for a long time. I have always heard how accurate they were for a lever action. If I get it it will be a cast bullet rifle. What am I saying? All my rifles are cast bullet rifles. I hardly ever load J-bullets anymore.

If it were me and could swing it I would buy it and cross it off my list. Make hay while the sun shines.

If ever a design was in need of reincarnation, this is one. No Mattel-toy elements or Picatinny rails, thank you. Maybe Miroku could be prompted to do with these what they have done with the Win 92s.

Dream leverguns--Savage 99 in 358 Win, Win 95 in 9.3 x 62. The latter with a shotgun butt, please--286 grain SPs at 2400 FPS with a crescent buttplate would be just a bit much. If I find a Rising Sun 1895 in 30-06 for the right price, JES Rebore will get the call.

my bud had one these [probably still does] that he used to loan to me for rabbit hunting back in the day.
I always took the shotgun which he considered cheating on my part.
so he'd bring his savage along and make me carry it, I think he liked seeing their heads pop when the 150gr bullet hit it.

In my Family (I'm the outcast with the Marlin 336 in 35 Rem)....my two older brothers (one deceased ) have / had great .300 savage ...Savage 99s: Never failed to bring home the venison!

I hope you get it and, at a good price. I like 308 & would enjoy hearing about it.

I always wanted one in a 250-3000.
Still do!

My police station had four of them lined up in the arms locker.

It was my chore to make sure they were in good working order..

99's have been my favorite for many many years.. beautiful pieces.

Find a picture of one with a perch belly stock..wow..that's a gun..

I have had a few in 308...sweet things those are..

So isn't the Winchester 88...it's a little slicker with better lock up..not dising the 99..just saying.
Plus you can put a scope on it..

Had one in 358 and stupidly let it go!!!

 

[Brother_Love]

Well, I missed it. I was trying to research it's vintage a little and waited too long. Maybe one day I will learn.

Bummer!!!

The early bird gets the Savage 99 in 308.

I have a relatively new to me .300 Savage 99. Still working on finding a good hunting
load, using them fancy bullets with hard outsides. No chance to work up a cast load
yet. Too many projects...... a GOOD thing.
