Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting A Savage 99 Thread

Mr Dave, that makes your 99 Special in more than 1 way.
IMO it’s Super KOOL !!


I have had two 99s. One was in 243 that I got for my son. It shot well but there was some problem. The bolt or lever lock up was difficult. I never could
figure out the problem. At the time I didn’t know a g smith I trusted so we traded it off.

The other 99 was an unusual model to me. It had a bulbous fore end that I didn’t like. It was a 358 Win and shot very well.
It also had the Brass cocking indicator & Brass rotor with round counter.

I should have kept it but someone offered me a NIB Ruger SS Super Redhawk, so.....
I don’t miss that particular 99 but certainly would like a diff model with schnobel fore end and 300 S or 308 W.
Nothing says CLASSIC any better than Savage 99.
