Happened upon this site after researching Savage 99 rifles. This is my first post here and happy to get acquainted with folks who have knowledge of these fine rifles. I plan on buying my first 99 within the next 12 months. I tend to lean toward the .300. I would like to here your thoughts. Thanks

Can't go wrong with a 300 for killin'& grillin'

Welcome to the forum! Lots of us that like the 300.

you won't be satisfied with just one.

Yep 300 in a factory drilled 50's EG or my choice an F for a starter. Then it soon will be joined by others. Kinda like coat hangers in the closet they just multiply. GW

+1 for the 50's F. It will definitely wet your whistle for wanting more 99s.

funny mine are more like rabbits,like to be stroked as well

Ahh yes, and that image is going to stick in my mind far longer than it should.....

I guess I'm the "odd man out" here, but for me a M99 in .250 Savage is THE classic combo and my personal favorite.

Thanks. I am finding that my area of the country is not an area swimming in 99's. I have been to 2 gunshows in the past year and have only seen 1 99. It was in 30-30 and in poor shape. How much should I pay for a 50's era F?

Depends on the area you live and most important the condition of the gun. As manufactured with no damage or alterations in my area $400. to $800., uless you find one NIB, then its anyones guess. Hey timbo762 if I could own two the 250 would be by second choice and it was. GW

Gunshow this weekend, so I am going to try it again.

You'll love it here, I started out with a 1950's 300 savage eg now all I want is barrel bands and the old 99's super place and very addicting!!!
