Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Most Desired 99

I think you should be sending me gifts and trying to butter me up to get my 1912 22HP with the Malcolm scope and factory letter stating it was sold to Malcolm. You could claim it was sold to your grand father.

Just a teaser, it’s not going anywhere.

This one, don't know anything about it, my note says "Custom Shop 1899B", maybe someone here owns it.

Just the right combination of "plain & fancy"

Howdy, I’ll throw this out there for notables , I’ve a 1899 Savage Montreal Homeguard Rifle with Bayonet number on butt plate and bayonet is 397, I’ve read 803 were Mfg’d in 1914-15 in caliber.303 Savage anyone out there with one ? This one is not Sporterizd ill

Wasn't it Blair that you used to post pictures like this with his guns on the fence... I'm like 85% sure this is Blair (99Trix) gun.

I remember that pistol grip..

Me too, I've had B grade checkered guns and mine had the "Marlin S' pistol grip.

Yeah, we've only seen a couple of the rounded pistol grips.

You write a big enough check, like one with 5 digits ahead of the decimal and I'll meet you in Puyallup and hand it over, no problem. Or i'll ship it to you in BC, I've done it before and don't recall it being a huge ordeal, at least not on my end. I ran across the letter for it last night while digging a different letter for someone else and read it again. It didn't go back to the factory per se, just had a work order number written against it... which was more likely for the crescent grade checkering and engraving, hard to say if it was also to include a second barrel or if that was added later, but the baseline build was a 25-35 per the letter.

Man, you have got a good memory, but I believe you are right.

What ever became of 99Trix?

Thanx for the offer but I think I'll pass.
When is the next show in Puyallup. Are you planning to go?

Yah that's right Joe ,but seriously I'm always watching for a long scope for my Visible Loader . They have to be the coolest with barrel length glass and simple leaf spring
mounts. I'd be looking for one here and there and sometimes you get lucky but it doesn't matter so much if things don't pan out all the time because sometimes is enough.

I like this one. It sits in my gun rack and I can look at it any time I desire.

Is the one on the far right a Rem maybe 8 or 81

It's actually a Presentation Grade Walther 22 Bolt/Semi-Auto that was made sometime between WWI & WWII.

With the bolt down it operates like a bolt action, if you flip it up it is a Semi-auto. It has a 5 shot clip.

Great looking gun very good shape

My favorites are ones I can use. Not a collector, but for me it is the one I desire to hunt with the most and this one is it.
Old faithful, so to speak.

I’m actually reading Caldwell’s book now, the bulk of his game hunting was with the .250-3000 which he raves and says was his favorite, but I think most of his tiger hunts were before 1915. 2/3s of the book are game hunts for other species using the .250
Pretty good book, but not as good as Corbett’s books.

NICE everything in the picture. Congratulations.

Caldwell wrote a book titled "Blue Tiger".

The original photograph that was the genesis for that poster showed RCA with a 1920. The 1920 that Savage sent directly to RCA was chambered in 300 Savage.
