Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Rainy day Savage porn

Just hiding from the weather today. Anybody else doing the same?

DL 284 22" 1964
DL 308 22"
DL 300 24"
F 300 22"

It must be that they all have gold triggers that makes this porn. Nice looking rifles Roy, Tom.

I'm missing some DL's, but headed the right direction. Just watched the 358 DL at auction but it was cut with a pad, so let it go. The hard one to find is going to be the 250-3000 in a DL.

That and the pootang safety makes em street walkers.

243 DL ?

250 DL ?? I've not seen one yet.
nice rifles Roy .

Yes. I'm not sure exactly what the question is. They did make them, I don't have one now. Here's the one I had and sold, you've all seen and hated on it. The thing you have to remember is that it and the 358 I did like this were cosmetically challenged or busted up.

Me neither/too Paul. I think you, me, and Billy have the hots for the DL's, the rest of the guys not so much. I've never seen one, nor heard of one, nor nothing about a 250 DL, but Murray's lists them. Maybe they didn't make it into production? Another rare one is the post mil E in 250, only seen one and in rough shape.

that 64 284 you got there is a beauty nice find

That 300F wood is great Roy! I might have a little wood envy on that one.

Gold trigger bling is no surprise when I open a thread labeled "Savage porn"...I hope I don't catch a virus from this.

You guys forget how to post photos of guns or what?

Great idea for a slow day. Thanks for sharing

my Savage porn is a 250-3000 EG from1953 laying on top of yesterdays doe,look at Davids EG 308 MINUS THE SLING AND DUCT TAPE and you have it.

Wow, I dig the crazy stock on the F. Of course the one above it is pretty nice too.

That was Loggah Don's brothers rifle. It's a beaut. It may get a NOS Chicopee 1-10" 250 F barrel before it's all over... Wouldn't that be a sweety?! If I EVER find a gunsmith.

Funny/sad story. Wife and I took a defensive pistol course recently and the facility had a "gunsmith" up front. On breaks in the class we would wander around and I asked this gunsmith what he worked on. "I work on everything". I noticed a Winchester 250 lever action 22lr in the rack so I told him I'd been having trouble finding a gunsmith that knows anything about Savage 99's. Told him I had some rebarrel projects but couldn't get a guy that knew how to make them feed, rotor swaps, etc.
He launched into a tirade about how he felt they were an inferior effort at duplicating a Browning BAR and that they were prone to breakage and just an overall POS. As he expounded in great detail about the Savage 99 me and the guy next to me just looked at each other, eye's rolling back in our head. I said, "Yep, that's exactly what I'm talking about, guess you can't help me either". Guy next to me says, "No, SAVAGE 99, you know, lever action, internal rotory magazine..." Gunsmith- blank stare, stumbles for words. I turned around and walked away.

Punk had never even heard of one.

Find of a lifetime I think.

Here's another one for you 7mm cranks, 7 IHMSA, since nobodie's posting pitchers. It's a beast of a 99, probly weighs 11 pounds all up! Weaver 2.5-7 with the wide view and duplex. Not done with the stockwork.

For comparison- 270 Titus, 7mm IHMSA, 300 Savage











Bead blasted and blued flat, including lever, dang it. Anybody still case hardening levers? 6mm250 Mike says no.

FB - who works on yours? or did the bead blasting etc...

This rifle was built when I bought it, but I restocked it with some used wood I had here. Came with R wood. I can't find a 99 smith to save my skin.

posting a pic here is a pia .. I know you all hate me. but I gotta say it. would be nice if you could just attach from your files rather then having to keep a bucket .

ok so my DL's again

I notice on one of Roys and one of your butt stocks both have 3 point checkering. Are these replacements? Tom

Yes on both.

yes Tom fourth one down my 284 has later(new)savage stocks on it in the picture. I have the original stocks, they're in great condition but an aftermarket recoil pad had been added.

That is what I thought. I picked up a few of these awhile back but wish I had some matching forearms to go with them. Good looking rifles, all of them Tom.

here's an old one that's great for me. although a few years earlier. it was built on my birthday

Your 119 years old? Tom

some days I feel it LOL

Not top condition, but one of the last prewar 99RS's made. In 300 Savage.

THATS SOME REAL NICE FIGURE IN THE WOOD ON THE BOTTOM ONE.

That cut 284 is jammin Roy
