Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors bucket list Savage

There were five in a rack at a local a shop on consignment about 5 years ago, didn’t even bother looking at them…..should have paid more attention.

That is a beautiful rifle and certainly a rare bird. I would not shoot anything less than a ten point with it. Good luck.

Lovely rifle

Good call. I like the way you think. Now to go find one.

I am curious if this is a east or west version but nobody knows or chose not to answer?

The east / west is really the 99DE, which has either coniferous trees or deciduous trees on the bottom panel.

All the 99PE's show both pine trees and a large deciduous tree on the left side. Yours looks like probably a later style, likely engraved in Japan.

I dunno, but I'm thinking you should swap the stocks out for a set of eBay bought EC Bishop stocks for field use!

On the other hand you gotta swap out those rings for something more deserving of that 99. Maybe some color case hardened Talleys if they make a base for the 99.

The story on the rings is I bought them locally thinking I was going to shoot the rifle right away. One horse town and all. A side benefit I hadn't considered is driving all you old fuddy duddy's wild with them.

And I bet the seller didn't even make the sales pitch of "driving fuddy duddys" nuts would constitute an additional value to the purchase!

The 110 PE's I have only had my hands on one and if memory serves it was a '06, did they make that in .308. I might tale a peak around for one of them.

Two DE's and an engraving prototype with the DE's deer engraving on the bottom of the mag

That is an absolute stallion of a rifle! I back you 100 percent on shooting it! I cant wait for you to report back with a harvest picture with the gun! I’m sure you will have a grin!

I especially love the figure on the wood.

Muey bueno!

Congratulations buddy.

I have the original box for a 99PE in 284. Shoot me the serial number and I'll take a look at the box and let you know if its yours... obviously, you will end up with the box if its yours.... its not in great shape, but hey, its the original box and should be with the original gun.

If it isn't Fireball's PE I'll take it if it matches my 284 PE serial #1139589.

Even if the S/N on the gun doesn’t match the S/N on the box there’s no downside to having a genuine 284 PE box to house the gun.

exactly right. If Roy doesn't take it I will unless someone else on here has the matching # rifle

My PE is the right gun WITH THE RIGHT BOX. Anything else is just a gun, albeit, a great gun to add to a collection of Savage history, and a box.

I’ve seen two or three pe boxes but are usually in bad shape. Longbeardking you have a unicorn set.
