I don't know if I am a rule breaker again, but I just can't pick ONE rifle as a favorite. I have a bad case of Savageitis. If I pick up a gun and have no immediate admiration for it I simply put it back where it came from. I I do get THAT feeling I start shelling out for it cause it's coming home. I actually have 3 that keep me feeling warm and fuzzy all the time. my 30-30 T one of my 1899 250-3000's And my 1st K that once I started looking they were coming out of the woodwork. But in the end, I got the best one. When I got it it was unfired. It isn't now.

I have a dandy K Model 250-3000 with a Stith and a very nice and clear K4 Weaver, I was about to remove the Stith and scope and put back to original. Now, I think I'll use it this fall!

They're all good. Some are just better (to look at). First year production 1899H 22HP, deluxe wood, B engraved w/owner name on belly, Lyman leaf sight, Lyman 29 1/2 tang sight. If this rifle was for sale, I'd hurt myself reaching for my wallet! WOW! NICE! I'm in Northern Illinois, where abouts are you? I'm near Crystal Lake, Il

I would pay to print an 8X10 of that amazing photo! Tell how and how much! I'd frame that and put it in my den. If you saw my den, you would understand! Ed I sent you an email with it.

Ya don't see a lot of those two floating around. I've seen the folding rifle at Savage Fest. Looking forward to seeing the other.

I took that K two years in a row before I saw I buck I wanted to kill. I have to admit though. I was happy to get it home and back in the safe "If" I had damaged it I would have nobody to blame but myself.

My favorite I guess was also my first, Savage 1914 250 Sav. Bought 56 years ago. The one under it is a recent purchase, its only 168 numbers off from the one on top. Made same month maybe??

My favorite is not a Savage it is a JC Higgins (Marlin ) that my folks got me for Christmas 1962. My first gun! The next favorite is a Savage 24MDL in 22 mag over 20 gauge that they got me the following birthday. Those will stay in the family.

I've said it before and I'll probably say it again. You gentleman have some of the finest 99', I've ever seen. I can't imagine what a Savage Fest must be like. Hard to find any rifles that compare locally. Ok, I could drive down to Fireball2's place, not to far guess. Thanks for posting them.
