SAVAGE Model 90 Carbine .22 ??????????? Any Thoughts...??? #3354413 10/03/09 Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 4,189 New York (L.I.) rgr223cal OP Campfire Tracker OP rgr223cal Campfire Tracker Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 4,189 New York (L.I.) Hello all. I had been watching this rifle for quite some time and then decided to take a chance on it. Can't find any info on it though. It is a Savage Model 90 Carbine, .22 long rifle, 16.5" barrel. Anyone ever seen one of these??? Thanks, Mike... [img]http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/rgr223cal/Savage%20Model%2090/new037.jpg[/img] All said, the Savage 99 is a genius of a rifle.

Information I have says 1969 to 1972. Don't see too many around. Looks like a neat find.

Thanks Jim. I found that info on a Google search but not much more. I did find this full 2 page add for the rifle in a March of 1969 edition of The American Rifleman. Pretty neat stuff...!!! Mike...

Always enjoy seeing the old ads and such. I used the Blue Book of Gun Values and old shooters bibles. I guess I still like to look at catalog or a book. Old fashioned in some ways I guess. ____________________________________________________________ Dying gets closer every day Lloyd McCarter and the Honky Tonk Revival

About 10 years from now it will have C&R status
