I can't believe you still have that rifle. I was born in 56 and would love to have that one. But, I just bought another rifle and I'm as broke as I've ever been, Joe.

Joe, I Started collecting Savage 99 Rifles over 60 years ago and have owned many,but this Rifle is one of the few I've owned which is nearly unused!
It has spent most of it's entire life in a sock in a closet prior to my finding it.

If no one sees fit to snag it, perhaps I will have it long enough for you to recover.

Rich

Hey Rich, I wrote you a reply yesterday, but I must not have hit send, because it's not here today. So thanks again, and if my wallet fattens up I may give you a ring. I'm retiring this year, just not exactly sure what day. I need 1400 hours to get credit for this year and accrue all of my vacation time for next year. If I didn't take any vacations my 1400 hours will be completed the second week of September. But I took one week in March, so that has me at the third week of September. UPS is a union shop so we have to bid our vacations in November for the next year. I just switched operations, so my vacations are not on the list in my new operation. If they don't figure it out, I'm not telling. My last day could be the Sunday before Labor Day and they would owe me for five weeks vacation this year and 6 weeks for next year. I just have to wait and see how things go, Joe.

Very nice.
I hope the OP sells for a good price.
But please explain why someone would buy this gun.

OK:

Since this is not on the classified forum and on the collector forum, I'll be the one to break the ice.

Very nice gun.

You are asking stupid money for it though, that is why it has been for sale for so long...

Just sayin.

I think the guy wants too much money for the gun and I think post war R's are heavy.

If that makes me a dick then I am a dick...

Send me your address and I'll send you a box of tissues... cry

Oh:

And by the way, I'm begging you, please don't leave.

Your 11 posts in the past 4 years have contributed a tremendous amount of insight and knowledge to the group.

Just wash the sand out of your vagina, you'll feel better tomorrow.

Don't hold back. Tell us how you REALLY feel. I am certain you aren't alone in your feelings.................. If you bought the gun, great purchase. When a gun has that condition and you buy it, it is money well spent.

If Leverlover is happy with the gun and what he paid for it, why should he care what WTF I think? When I buy a gun I couldn't even give a rats azz what somebody else thinks it's worth and I certainly wouldn't call him a dick if he thought I paid too much for it.

If everybody got pizzed and left the forum the first time somebody disagreed with their opinion, this forum wouldn't exist.

The problem he has, and others of us have the same problem, is that you're way too happy to piss in someone's cornflakes. Most of us have pretty thick skin. He may be a little more sensitive. I understand where he's coming from. If you don't have something to add then don't say anything. If you do that's great. While this is just the internet pissing in folks cornflakes doesn't add anything to the company.

I feel compelled to make a statement. First, I came to this site some years ago because of a love for savage due to my dad. He bought "ONE" in 1946, and it remains the worst condition Savage I own. And the only one not for sale! It is because of that gun I came here. When I came, I had questions as I was not an avid savage collector. It didn't take long to realize there were folks here who forgot more than I would probably ever know. SO when I have questions or pertinent comments I like to come here and "bounce" it off the wall, so to speak. Since my first visit, I have purchased "alot" of savage 99's and sold none. My knowledge base has expanded exponentially. Recently I saw some one posting questions because they are where I was just a few years ago. They bought a couple R's, one a couple EG's and love them and want info. Where better to go than to school.
Constructive feedback is given and most is positive but some is negative, condescending and rude. I don't like rude people and have always come to the defense of people being wronged.
I feel it is important for you all to know that we are the teachers. Many not as qualified as others, but nevertheless the teachers. All you have to do is look at our society to realize that one day this will all be gone because young guys don't have places to hunt, fish, shoot, etc as many of us have or had. Its not because they don't love it, the opportunity won't exist for them. I work with 50 guys between 20-35 and about 5% hunt. 40 years ago that number would have been 95%. So when I see an opportunity to pass on a possibility for a fellar to have what I have, I take it. When I see selfish, rude behavior, I call it out. I won't ever meet 99guy, but I can assure you, if I did I would have this conversation with him and defend what I so love and try to build it up, not tear it down. No offense 99Guy, but please be aware of who, how and when you can and do affect someone, it matters. We are the path to the future for these guys. What will all your Savages be worth if you tear them down, low ball prices and create desention to a point no one hunts? They'll be worth ZIP, nothin', notta. But worse, they will be lost to history and guys won't even care.

As for the 99F that is for sale, I have not bought it....YET, but I intend to. I might just give nitro a big tip, just to piss people off!!! Ya never know about this pollock. In the mean time, take no offense I will tap your brains, ask a few questions, lose a little money and come back for more. But till I die, I will try to be a "GOOD" steward of the Savage 99's I love and I "WILL" stick with the winners on this site. Thanks

Good luck with all that LL. Around here boyscouts usually get their head ripped off and neck sheit down. YMMV depending on how outspoken you care to be regarding lofty values.

Lots of good folks here and most all are user friendly. Sometimes feathers get ruffled and responses are sometimes terse. We all have bad days and don't respond as some posters expect.

Hang around awhile and you will get to know some of the computer personalities and realize some of us just need another cup of coffee before we respond. Take nothing personal and welcome to the fire. Tom.

In real life, a person has a tremendous amount of control over who they hang out with, who they converse with, and who they even have to listen to.

On the online world of forums, that doesn't apply. Every body and their mother can jump into any conversation whether they are an expert, whether they have actual knowledge of the subject, or even if they just want to try to "liven" things up by being a jerk. Often it's very easy to get caught up in what every person says in regards to what is your business. I'm guilty of that.

A thicker skin is needed online. Odds are that no matter what you do, you won't change the behavior of somebody else for the better. And sometimes your expectations of "good behavior" aren't the norm online. Ignoring responses is perfectly fine. Worst case a guy can put other users on Ignore and not even see their posts.

Personally I hate to see anybody leave here, no matter how much they contribute to the discussions or not.
