Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting A Savage 99 Thread

I also was one who thought the 99 was homely and ungainly looking compared to a Winchester 94 . But then I became interested in them because of the rotary magazine and unique design. I started watching to buy one.

Had an uncle who hunted all his adult life with a 300 Savage 99 EG. He loved that rifle.

I bought an old half worn out 1930's 99 that looked like a EG, but it was too rough and I sold it. A couple of years ago I bought a fairly clean 1950 99 R in 300 here on the fire and it happened to be in my hands when I got the largest Whitetail I've taken.
