Happy New Year everyone. I got my first Savage for Christmas 40 years ago - a 250-3000 takedown. I've been on the board a couple years now and have added 5 more 250's and a .375. Still looking for a scoped 22HP for 'chucks and 'yotes and a .284F just to have one. I've also developed a hankering for a 1920 in 250. Still lurkin' and learnin'........

happy new year to all. Been following this forum almost daily for the last 6 years. Ever since I missed a buck at 30 yards with my trusted 760 (rattletrap) 30-06 standing still twice ,went back to the camp got my buddied 99-c that had success earlier in the morning and shot the same buck that afternoon at 100yds+ coming back the opposite direction. The buck was blind in one eye thats why he stood there in the morning not that it had anything to do with my marksmanship. Needless to say on my way home the 760 got dumped of at the local gunshop to sell and my hunt for 99,s was on. Have an 1899A in 30-30 that will be 100 yrs old next season and will be with me in the woods for sure (wheather pending). Anyway great forum and have learned alot over the years. Finally got on the board back in september. steve

This May I will have been here six years. I found this site after buying a 99 and seeking info on the rifle. I appreciate all the help since then. I fall into the accumulater category more than collector. Lots of good folks here that share opinions and knowledge.
Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.

Been here about 3 years or so, mostly reading and learning. And occasionally being entertained by the intensity of some of the members! Greatly enjoyed the 2009 Midwest Fest and all who attended.
Been shootin since 6 years old. There was a 99 in 300 in the house when I was born and that Savage saw time in the deer woods again this year with my dad. With 6 boys, we were given various "other guns" to hunt with as our dad always carried the deer killing 300 we could only look at and wish... Two brothers and I now own numerous 99's.
I also like the modern Savages and also couldn't resist those neat little Savage 22's as I searched for 99's. And I shoot and hunt with Savage shotguns. So into triple digits (not all Savages) now. Mostly shooters. Just wish it was easier to shoot year round up here in northern Wisconsin. -22 degrees yesterday and 15" snow. Hard to keep focussed on shooting form...
Happy 2010 to all, Bruce

Happy New Year from south FL. Billy Harper checkin in. I got into Savages thanks to my late father's (XCIX) love for the rifles. So now I too am a true Savage loonie.

I's here, boss! Belated Happy New Year to all. I was out of town again for a few days, mainly helping my 80 yr.old Mom after she fell and sprained her knee on New Years eve. Turned 57 yesterday- where does the time go?
Been hanging out with y'all for about 4 years now. Joined after buying my first 99A .30/30 and was researching the gun. Had a pile of 99's and 20's back in the early 90's that I inherited from my Dad who was a true Savage man. Because I looked down my nose at Savages back then, I foolishly horse traded them all for stuff I was into at the time: Single shots, Mannlicher-Schoenauers, and muzzleloaders. I have since come to see the error of my ways and stand before you a repentant sinner! (And oh-my-god how I wish I had Pop's Savages back!) Since signing up here I've accumulated 5 more, plus a 1920. I enjoy working up loads and shooting them probably more than "collecting" them.
Other pursuits include L.C.Smith shotguns, waterfowling on Md.'s Eastern Shore, flyfishing for trout, skeet/sporting clays shooting, fine single malt scotch and loose women!
Cheers!

Happy 2010 to all. I am new to the forum in 2009 but did purchase two EGs, 1937, 250 Savage and 1954 300 Sav in 2009. Sincerely appreciate all the vast resources of knowledge you provide. I am a hunter although my pocketbook will not allow me to hunt in the manner I would like to be accustomed to:-).
Looking forward to another great Savage year!
Tony

I have been in and out of Savages for a while and I am signing back in with the .300 R I got from Chip. I have had 1899s, 99s, 20s and a few other models throughout the years. I love this site even when I don't happen to have a Savage in my hands at the time. There is not a better group of guys anywhere than here. It has always been a pleasure to talk to them, trade with them, buy from the and even sell to them. It's a lot like family but less bickering!
Hope everyone has a happy New Year!

Just signing in per instructions. More of a shooter & reloader than a hunter. More of a hunter than a gunsmith. Interested in all of it. Hardly time for any of it. Stumbled into Savage 99s a few years back and the more I fool with them the better I like them. Last Fall I even chambered a Contender to 303 Savage just for fun. In fact, I found the Campfire while searching for a 99 in 358 Win. a few years ago.
