Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Top 3 Favorite 1899/99 Models

I had to pull out the guns to do a little preventive maintenance, so I got to take a gander at a few models. I have come to the conclusion that my top three favorite models are in this order. Though they are all razor thin close.

99H Barrel Band in 250
99G, any with 20 inch barrel
1899 Deluxe

Yours?

RAS

1) 99T
2) early 1899 250-3000
3) 99H barrel band


Put the 99H up there, but was really had to decide between the 99H, 1899B, or an early 99F with the later checkering

#1 99T #2 99RT #3 1899 250-3000 deluxe and since the RT isn't a catalogued model I'd add my DL in 358 to the list. Sorry had to sneak another one in there.

In order by year, not preference:

1912 1899 H 22HP

1919 250-3000 rifle, second style. Thanks Randy.

1950 R 250-3000, my first 99.

Joe.

Those are the three favorites in my safe. If there were more in my safe, the list might be different. It was hard squeezing out my 1899 B, Joe.

For the few that I have now, my 22HP "H" the Engraved "B" 303, and the 250 BB I do like the "G"s and Like to have a "T" again!

What ever Logaah says.

My top three would be:
1) G also with 20" .303
2) Would love a T- never owned one…yet
3) 50's era F in .300

Pre-war F (22-inch barrel)
Post-war F
Any EG

I don't have fancy tastes.

Oh, my first, 50's EG in 300. 1899H, 22HP. And 1956 newer F. Sold mine in .243, Damn.
Jeff

1899H
1899H
1899H
99T (if it were an 1899H)

Although, I do lust to see n hold a 1899 D military rifle too.
Jeff

1899 SRC in 25-35 (if I had one)
1899SRC in .303 Savage.
1899 B in .303 Savage

I like the old ones the best.

1895 SRC
1895 Extra Light Rifle
1899 H

all .303's

I like old ones too!

Doug

I like any of the older models with high grade wood!! must be something about being an old logger,and sawmill guy !!

Yes, this! ^^^

I'm stumped? Joe.

1899 G Takedown all 3 times.

My list would include the pre-war E

Wow, that's a nice rifle! If I were to make a list of three 99s that Savage should put back into production it would start with a rifle like pictured above. Something basic, clean and very handy.
