I'm thinking its a 99G. Its well into the 99 history, not 1899.

Straight grip? or Pistol grip? Checkered wood? btw - welcome to the 'Fire.

If you remove the forearm there may be a letter stamp on the front of the frame. Is there? What is it?

Hi, great grandfathers 1950's Savage EG 300, aluminum spool, with Williams peep sight. This rifle is very light and responsive. I can still hear grampy's voice when I heft it.

.Really enjoying all this. So... I got to wonderin' here... All y'all who are sort of in the "collectors" category... (...and when does that happen? after your second? third? dozenth? ) Do you sort of get "purist" about what you buy? "If it ain't stock-original-unmolested, I'm not interested."Or... if you come across a 99, you're takin' it home!- "irregardless"James .

Varies. I like shooters, but after I got a few I started ignoring the "average" rifles and start looking for ones with more condition, or at least ones that are more uncommon. Too many 99's to buy them all (especially if you get a C&R FFL).
Others here aren't interested unless it's a high grade rifle. Yet others just have their one or two that they hunt with.
Different strokes for different folks.

Just landed a 303 takedown. I also have a 30-30 takedown 1920, plus an "ordinary" 1913 or 14 303. Darned old things get to you, don't they?

Here's a couple of mine. Top is a 25-35; bottom is a 22 Savage Hi-Power. Numbers all match up on the guns and they have excellent shiny bores which is good.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I've only been interested in collecting Savages for a couple years now. I really like the 1899 rifles. Some of you guys post pictures of some real beauties on here.
