Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Show your pack!

Ok Stever - there were some non-Savages in that pack. I wonder how many around here own only Savages and absolutely nothing else? A complete purist out there? I'm thinking not, but you never know.

Steve, here's a close up of that Bastogne walnut. The one in the middle is a national match. If you look close you can see the match rear sight.

Don't think I've attempted to get them all in one post before. Have added a couple but most have been posted before. Too stinkin' hot to do much else around these parts today.The 99F's are premil, top to bottom 243,250,300,308. Then there is a 1899E in 250, a 99A 308W with replacement stocks(my first 99), 99T 300.Next is think is the Model 23's and a 1920 in 250 Sav. Then there is the 1903 with nonfactory checkering on it, a 29 octogon bbl, and a Stevens Favorite 1915 with a shot bbl underneath it. My two oldest 1899C 30-30 and a 1899 Model 250-3000 Sav.

That's one shiny "G" you got there!!!

Nice bunch!

I've had pictures of my Savage 22's on other posts, before I got interested in them my collecting philosiphy was "that's different I'll buy it". Here's a few from that time - not Savage and not all 22's - so I guess I'm not a purest.

Ah, another Whitney and Burgess collector - interesting

I want to trade for your folding version!!! I threw mine in the group because it's got the early button action release at the back of the trigger guard, I got another with the later release but it's condition is not as good.

It would be pretty hard to talk me out of my folding Burgess, but how about trading your Burgess shotgun to me for a SAVAGE

That Stevens 425 is a classic lever action and not many to be found from what i have read.

1899sav & boltman:

You boys have been busy, super collections and conditions + Savage ammo and paper too.

I feel sad as last winter sold 2/3's of my model 12 collection, mostly unfired, hang tag guns + every winchester catalog, foldout and store hangers. It took many years to put it togather. I offered it to a national dealer and it wanted it all and some of the collection appeared in national magazines.

oh well, when you get older, life changes, had health issues and didn't want to burden the wife with the collection. Things are better now as no way to even get close nto the quality I once had in the Winnie's so will be riding in a new center console boat chasing rock fish instead.

Yote Dog - I hear what you are saying. We are just temporary caretakers of these items. Glad you are doing better now. I have seen examples where a wife has been left with a lot of stuff to try to deal with. And sometimes, they really get fleeced. Not only just the guns, but the paper items etc. I have books worth $2 and some worth over $200. I have boxes of ammunition, some worth $10 some worth many hundreds. Sorting all this out is no easy thing. I have heard of too many examples where fellow collectors who knew the owner, volunteer to do the "sorting" and it turns out to be a very self-serving offer. So, you did what was prudent. And enjoy the fishing boat!:)

Here is my fledgling collection
