99F in 308 with vintage weaver scope for $ 650.00 have not seen it yet but just wanted to know what to look for.

Thanks, for the help

Quite a few guys here claim they kick the crap out of you. I don't shoot one but shoot everything around it with no trouble. I'm sure it'll be just fine.

I hunt with my 99F in .308 and love it. I also enjoy target shooting it and its one of my most used 99. I don't feel it has an unpleasant recoil no matter the load. Some people do find it unpleasant though.

Look for normal gun things, bore condition, tang cracks, etc

Got some pictures I can text to you. If you want to offer your opinion. it does have metal butt plate, brass counter, an scope is mounted on it. Has a discolors on butt stock does not know what it is from.

Thanks

Missed it guy came in at last min. and bought it. I was going to buy if it did not sell.

I have one, doesn’t kick for cshit. Granddaughter shoots it sometimes, she likes it, she might be 110 lbs.

David, how are we supposed to keep the myth alive with this kinda stuff being posted? We have our creeds that we live by and must never be questioned!

Buzzkill.

Well just got a text this gun has come back up for sell. Seller kept my number. 650.00 99f in 308,tang saftey, made in Westfield Mass., Weaver scope on it said year gun made.

? what years where these made, factory drill and tapped, I am thing a good price, What do you all think.

Thanks, Fred

tang safety were all factory D&T'd, but no recoil pads for the 308's, tang cracks were always an aftermarket option too.

Thanks, Jeff, lol on tang cracks options. I have not seen it yet. Trying to get a meeting but we both take care of elder parents so someone going to doctors this week.

Wasn’t thinking!

Another ? stock has some discolor or staining at the bottom kinda like big spots. Could this stock be a salt cure stock? Just asken never seen one did not know if Savage done that. Don't asks why this pop into my head but it did.

Thanks,Fred

Savage didn't have salt cure stocks. Odds are that somebody sat the buttstock in something and it soaked in, that somebody wiped the stock down with something and it ran down after being stood against a wall, or that somebody drenched the inside of the receiver with oil and it ran down after being stood against a wall. Usually it's only cosmetic..

A 300 Weatherby kicks, a 308 99F doesn't

Good to know about salt cure. Like I said do not know how it got into my head must have been reading it somewhere.

Thanks

some fool in Europe was salt curing wood for Browning and Weatherby firearms in the late 1960's

Maybe that's where it came from been eyeing a old Browning from the 60's and was reading about salt cure stocks.

I would rather shoot my 300 Win Mag all day than shoot any 308 F I have ever owned 3x in a row.

Just sayin...

When I shot my 308 pre mil F's, the next day my hair, my teeth and my toenails hurt. Curiously I have a 308 DL that doesn't weight any more than any F, that is a pleasure to shoot.

Guns fit people differently. Anybody that has done any amount of shooting understands that.

My dad had a 308E I think has been gone a long time. But I do remember shooting it as a teen and brothers younger than I we all loved shooting it. Put a lot of meat on the table. This one just came around for second time I think it need me as I need it. Sounds crazy I know. Told the sell I would take it.

The Savage model 99F in .308 was my first purchase of this fine rifle. The receiver and barrel was reblued, but the furniture was stock, and not messed with. The forearm is slender and light that just makes it a fine firearm to carry in the woods all day. Since this rifle has come into my possesion it has not touched the ground on a hunt. I topped it off with a fine Leupold and it has become my favorite rifle as I get older. Once you reach the age when your eyes aren't what they use to be........you will like a small scope!

I would like to add.......if the recoil of the .308 hurts you in anyway.....maybe you should find another hobby?

Have the 99F in .308 and it kicks me, but that's me. I have tried the reduced recoil load by Hornady and that helps. If I ever return to PA for deer I will need a lever gun or a Remington pump to fit in with old friends.

Yes it has a weaver scope on it. Boyd lol on fitting in with friends but so true. A little kick does not hurt long.

Heck, I got rid of a M1920 .300 once because it was a nasty bugger to shoot. It is indeed all about gun weight and stock shape in terms of individual fit.

with the sights on a deer you never feel the kick anyway. sighting in just don't do it off a bench. won't have a bench in the woods.

The 308 Fs aren't easy on me. I've been shooting for almost 50 years. I've owned and shot dozens of rifles and calibers. I don't intend to find another hobby.

I would like to add...you are a douchebag.

Back at ya' buddy......if I was afraid of the recoil on any rifle..Doesn't matter who made it......Savage,Remington,Winchester.... .I would not own it!

Thanks for the compliment,
Douchebag!

Onelost!

Knitting is a low impact pastime. Or a guy could learn topiary. Me, I want to learn how to tie-die
in camo colors. Maybe when I am too big a wuss to shoot a 308 that's the way I'll go.

I had a 308 E and don’t remember it being bad to shoot. Got a beautiful DL and that thing rattled my teeth. Gave it to John for his Birthday. I can shoot 100 rounds a session through my 250 with zero recoil damage to my shoulder. I’ve shot deer and pigs in the eye with it. No flinch factor with any load. If that gets too hard to shoot, I’ll just boost Gary’s set trigger Hornet, single shot and keep shooting in the eye. Ain’t taken up paint by the numbers.

Dang! I had to look that up! You can learn something here every day...

Only thing that made it?

Everything else is just text.

I have one, doesn’t kick for cshit. Granddaughter shoots it sometimes, she likes it, she might be 110 lbs.

Ken, all you are getting is a page full of error stuff?

Ok, all you He-Man Recoil Absorbers: recoil has an effect on everybody, no exceptions. It's a cumulative effect that doesn't effect each individual the same way, but regardless of who you are it will catch up sooner or later- and it'll be sooner rather than later if you persist in shooting Macho Calibers in lightweight guns or guns that don't fit properly.

Very true. I know my father in his 70s no longer shoots the bigger calibers he used to when he was younger. The rifle fit definitely has something to do with the feel of recoil too. I have a Marlin in 45-70 that I can comfortably shoot but I shot a buddies 45-70 and it was noticably more uncomfortable.

Yeah, I think fit is important too. It certainly is with shotguns and pistol grips can make or break you in bullseye shooting. Rifles are no different. We just tend to think of them differently.

Knitting is sounding better all the time.

I was sorta thinking tie die camo would be awesome. Drive a bit to Eugene and you can learn all you need to know and pass it on to us! The deer won't know what hit them.

Dang gum-it-all , now I have to get rid of my 458 Winchester Magnum .
