Obviously you don't know Angus1895 or you would've never said that. Aren't the other trolls missing you there under the bridge?

Getting your depends all in a wad because somebody disputes the popularity and looks of an old, long out of production rifle is pretty pathetic old man. You'd better go take another nap before you start to cry.

blackheart, if you don't like them don't look at them . you sound like a dimmacrapp bitching about things you don't like . you are why people think New York people are dumb asses🖕

But most of them ARE. Just look at the sorry condition of NY. (Country folks in Upstate are excluded, of course)

Thanks men for all the posts since I started this thread; I learned a lot. Lots of y’all have some beautiful 99’s! Your pics made me want one in .308! I got on GunBroker to look for one, but evidently everyone is proud of theirs also! More than I’m willing to pay. This has been a great thread until all the sh-t slinging started. That’s to be expected on the CF though…

So differing opinions are not to be tolerated ? Who is it that sounds like a good little Democrat/communist again ? GFY.

Texans have no room to talk about New Yorkers or anybody else..

Ruger for life…..

I would recommend a 300 savage, early 20 s production are my favorites.

The 300 savage is what the 1899/99 action was made for IMO.

no argument here ,in the small world in the lower class people i am proudly from and live in , many of us feel the Savage 99 is a very unique rifle design . i also have asked Savage Reps at a dealer show , why doesn`t Savage also still make Savage 99`s ? Savage Reps told me just too expensive to build anymore. so as a pee-on i will cherish my Savage 99`s as i do my Perazzi shotguns, Ruger #1`s and my Winchester pre-64 model 70`s .

Let me guess - you're Larry Root's twin brother, separated at birth. Bwahaha!

I don't think that I could have said it better!

TexasShooter,

That’s an awfully nice collection of 99’s you have there!
What cartridges are they chamber for? Myself I think Savage 99’s should be in Savage chamberings. But would not hesitate buying one in .358 Winchester or .32-40. Of course neither would anyone else. 😁

different op's is fine being an ass is not . you are the one that acts like a child bh

You talk like a third grader. I'd say a third grade girl by the whine. Short bus ?

Thanks. Not all of mine are in the pic but chamberings include 22 HP, 25-35, 250-3000, 243, 30-30, 303 Savage, 308,300 Savage, 358 Winchester and 375 Winchester. DOMs range from 1905 to 1980. The majority were made in the first three decades of the 20th century.

T.S.

I sold all but my PE in 308. Not going to get rid of that one. It is just for looking at since I am disabled. Back in 1960 I bought a Winchester 88 from Holts. Walked into a leather shop I visited periodically in Waco Texas and was telling the owner about it. He said," You should have bought a Savage". I have been sorry I did not because I would have avoided spending lots of money on rifles had I gotten a Savage.

I always wanted one from the time I was a little kid because I thought they just looked cool. I never had one until later in life and it instantly became my favorite hunting rifle. The combination of handling, light weight, accuracy, and the .300 being the perfect round for the type of hunting that I do is why it is popular with me. Mine is no safe queen it gets hunted hard. 1957 Model F.

Being left handed the safeties just never worked for me

I prefer the earlier 99's, but there's quite a selection with tang safeties.
