Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors What are you looking for in 2020?

There was a good one on GB or GI the other day for $1150 iirc.

A nice 1899H in .303S, a 1905 target rifle and maybe a 1920 in .300S

special order and engraved rifles. My display at the UGCA and CGCA gun shows this year will be special order and engraved 1895's, 1899's and 99's. My 303 Speigle special is well worn and has faint engraving. I wouldn't mind updating it. The lineup right now is a 22" octagon barrel 1895 with high grade wood and checkering, the "F" engraved 1899B, the "B" engraved 1899A, the 1899H 25-35 with high grade wood and checkering, 1899 short rifle with slightly upgraded wood and checkering, the 99K 250-3000 that I bought recently that I showed pics here, the Speigle, a 99DE in 284, a 99PE in 243, and the 100th Anniversary. If I can find a 1950's engraved 99F it would push one of these out of the display.
I have an 1948 EG with a mismatched forearm for sale at $650 and a 1969 E in 300 Savage for $450. Both are 300's and in excellent condition.

Always looking for a .300, .250 or .30-30 T's However, if a really nice prewar .250 99RS would pop up I would be all over it.

Poconojack is your man.

Trying to find a nice, original 1899 A B or C that doesn't have the price tag of a family heirloom.

Like others, eyes are always open for a pre-war R and RS.

All you guys with muskets laying around that are missing the rear sight will appreciate this.LOL

poconojack, from what fireball said you may have an engraved 1950's 99F you'd part with?

David I've fondly admired Ted's .243. It is a fine speciman and at that time he would consider selling it. Hopefully you can add it to your collection. it's pristine.

Looking for a nice condition place in Idaho!

I am at the point of liquidating rather than adding. Most of these have been at Midwest Savage Fests in the past. They generally are decent shooter grade guns, but not quite collector grade.

1899 250/3000, early production, delivered to J DeP Lynch, Secretary Treasurer of Savage at that time. Extra quality wood and checkering. Has history of returns to factory four times, at least once for replacement of barrel
99T 30/30 Very good condition, not quite collector, Lyman tang sight, does not have T sights
99T 250/3000 Slightly better than above, but has a thin replacement butt pad, and Williams receiver sight, does not have T sights
99EG 250/3000 This one is as new, and has better than normal wood
99R (P0stwar) 300 Savage. Very nice condition, Lyman receiver sight
99R {Postwar) 300 Savage Very nice condition, but has a weird rear sight and replace butt plate
99G 303 Excellent condition, tight tang crack
23C cosmetically challenged, but highly functional
Stevens 425, 30/30 Remington, metal is much better than wood, but does not appear to be refinished Chip out of butt at buttplate. Have several boxes of ammunition that go with this one.

If possible, I will bring these to Escanaba in May.

Talk to me about the 30/30 T. I might be interested.

Gentlemen,

Things have suddenly turned hectic here as my wife has been waiting surgery for a while, and in the last couple hours she has been scheduled for a catscan early tomorrow. I will get back to every one as soon as possible

Dave

In Savages I'm stickin' to 300 for:

Maybe a prewar G
Maybe a postwar R
Maybe a postwar F

Also maybe a Super Sporter in 30-30.

Also maybes:

!903 Springfield T - or enough parts to make one
A new rabbit hole called Remington Rolling Blocks

But who knows, tomorrow is another day and this list may likely get revised or even trashed.

Here's to you two weathering the storm and coming through in good health and spirit. Best of luck!

You're looking for 300 Savages? That's a helluva lot of Savages. I don't think anybody else here has (quite) that many! (Maybe Calhoun, maybe LBK, maybe even Loggah.)

Remington RB's- a delightful rabbit hole to get lost in. I myself wouldn't mind one in a big ol' blackpowder cartridge some day.

OCD!

But the chances of ME selling one is slim to none.

After looking at my wallet I better make that 250!

My perpetual dream is a shooter Savage 1895. Maybe someday............................
