Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Photo of my Savage 99 Collection

In case there is a chance that any of you enjoy looking at pics of these, as much as I do seeing the 99 photo's here, I have posted mine.

The 1895 75th anniversary model on the left, which I shoot, will place 3-shot groups at 1" at 200 yards, when I am on my game. I have had one other .308 in a 99, and it too shot very well, and best with the 168 grn.

I have also noticed that the .250's don't shoot well at all with a boat-tail bullet. I am thinking the rifling is wrong for that projectile? Spitzers were ok in them though.

I don't know why, but I just love these things. My son and nephew make fun of me over it, but they are still in their mid-20's. This did not hit me until I was almost 30, and it gets worse every year.

All of these are from the factory, as they are. 3 were custom made for me in the 80's when Roland Lussier worked there.

Hope you enjoy them.

I am hoping they have babies.

If they have babies I would love to adopt one. Maybe a little 222

Indeed, I enjoyed the view.

99FEVER, You are indeed a lucky man.

You like your EG's I see.

Nice collection you have there 99FEVER! Thanks for sharing the pic. -TomT

Nice line up !!!!! addictive little buggers aint they !! Don

I knew they would draw you out. Quite the bunch of guns. Thanks for sharing your addiction. Group therapy works!!!!!!!!!!!!

The custom lefty looks inviting. I think most of us cut our teeth on the EG's.

I'm more interested in hearing details about your Model 1903 22 pump and any other 22 Savage pump's you've got. Looks like there might be 2 of them.

Those are in great condition. You have been selective. Nice looking customs too

nice grouping ,all close together :
Dont worry bout mad-dog he just don't like EGs,but most of us do ,looks like lots of As there as well
norm

Nice group!

On the 1903's, I have 3 of them. Two are pretty nice, and one is a project gun (on the right, showing tag on it). As the story goes, the first one I have was supposedly won by my Great Grandfather, in a shooting contest. I never knew what kind of contest, but this story was told to me by my Grandfather when I was in my teens. The other two I just found at shows. They don't seem to be very common, but I really enjoy them.

I shoot all my Savage guns. I treat them like expensive jewelry, but use them all the same. That way when my kids inherit them, they will have stories tied to them.

Someday.... someday... Very nice collection!

99fever,

You have a PM. Check the flashing thingy on the tool bar.

99's aren't the only classic Savage we discuss.

Great Group you have there.
