Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Thought this might help the 99 guys

I remember hearing some debate here, as to wether or not 99's came with swivels from the factory a while back. I found this add from 1962, and it shows swivels on the deluxe model, just thought the info might help out.

Thanks for posting that Wink man I hadn't seen that one before.

Murray's says that the 99DL's had sling swivels. Always nice to get additional confirmation though.

My 99DL 284..

WOW...that's got some condition!!!

Well.. except for the tang crack (small, easily acraglassed and repaired).

Wasn't sod to me as NIB though.

hahahahaaha

Nice rifle Rory. Weaver scope? -TomT

yeah is that a KV? Looks long!!

Wasn't a KV, it was a Weaver K8-1. Fixed 8 power.. and in beautiful shape! Just sold it on eBay a couple weeks ago. Was filthy (like the gun) when I got it, they both cleaned up exceptionally well. And shipping it was a pain, the thing was longer than any scope box I had on hand (longer than a VX-I).




Sorry for stealing the thread, Garry. Say, did you pick that up on eBay? I see the pronghorn ads go by, but I tend to buy the older ads.

Nah, you didn't steal the thread, no big deal, and I like looking at the older weaver El Paso scopes. I found that ad on Fleabay, yes, and just thought it might be of interest.

Incidentally, I have Savage catalogs from 1967,68,69,71,72,73,74,75,77,78,80, and 90. If it would help you guys, I could scan the pages on the Savage 99 specs and post them on here for you. It's a lot of work, but I'll do it if it will help you out, let me know.

where are 70 and 76??? j/k nice collection...I just got into buying these...bought about 6 from one guy that were an average of 5 years apart starting back in the 20's...
