To All
Ever Wonder as to How Many Savage's Still Exist? How Many
Orginal's,Untouched-Modified-Altered are around??How Many are still In the Orginal Family From Grandpa passed the the line?
Why did Savage not go any Futher with 1 Of the 1st Calibors such as the 32-20 Prototype?? Also at 1 Time there where a Couple of 99's that where Chamberd for the 30-06 as Prototype's which where simular to the "R"and wider in the receiver and Heavier! The 30-06 I had Seen On Auction Several Years Ago. And Who Owns the Oldest Savage!
This Would Be some Great Data to get for Savage Collectors and For Jed's Savage Fest in August.
And wouldn't Be Wonderful If We could Get Savage Arms to Reintroduce the Savage 99 Again?? And If they Did as to What Calibors would You Like to See??
Steve

30-06 (favorite caliber)
30-30 (just because it is a classic)
300 Win Mag (may need a reinforced tang area)

Ras
As far as Me. I would like to see the Model F,G or T Make a Come Back Older Style and No Clip, Good old Brass rotor.
Revive the .303 Savage Calibor,
257 Roberts
32-20
35 Remington.

Steve

Well as long as we're dreaming...........a mini 99 in 223. Take down please.

An EG in 25-06... EG in 270...

That'd fill out my hunting needs very well.

Okay Steve,

now that I'm dreaming out loud: an elegant "1895" style stock. It would be highly figured French style walnut and checkered in the A3 style. The fore ends would come glass bedded up to the screw then free floated
for accuracy. A 3/8 crescent black rubber butt pad should keep recoil managable when shooting from a prone position all day.

It should be chambered for the newly developed 250 Savage Mag with Ackley Improved ballistics. ( think same short receiver ) A deep blue 26" hexagon barrel (light weight, no sights) with 10-1 rifling to handle everything from 120 gr. Noslers to 75 gr. varmint bullets accurately. Deep blue receiver, same beautiful case colored straight lever. It would be factory D/T and topped off with a matte Leupold VXII 4-12.

Made in America with CNC machinery! (Are you listening, SAC?)

Call it my "High Plains Regulator!" Bring it on!!!

Boy-Oh-Boy Bert!
Ya got some Kinda of Imagination! Wow.
P.S. Tnx for the Compliment! Make's Me Feel Good Being a Tool Maker and Manufacture!

Make mine in a .45/70 or better yet a .45/90 with a really beefed up action!

How about a 45/110 with a cresent butt plate?

Ill go with Boltman on the 45-70 its a real hammer on game, and fun to shoot. John

I'm with Boltman and Saddlering! 45-70 in an 1899H with 1895 wood and carbine buttplate. 3D Maple please! Case hardened reciever and lever, brown barrel with integral front ramp and no rear dovetail. Lyman 29 1/2 on the tang! Let's go huntin'!

I would DiddoThat a 45-70 With Saddlering and Boltman. Yeah another Calibor for the 99.
But Let's Get to real Nitty Gritty Of things Let's Start With Our Forum Members any Any History that they Can Bring.
Like Joe(Mad-dog)-Les, Jed and others.
What Happened to the Original Prototype of the 99 in 32-20?
How Many Savage's Still Exisist? How Many are Out There still around? It Would Be Nice to get some Number's together, for The U.S. and Canada.
Starting With Me, My Dad and Father In-Law, total we Have,
(1899sav and Family)= 206 Savage's From Model's 1895-99's Gathered from 1971 til Present.

Also-I'd-like-that-lyman-hardened-and-kink-proof.

...ty,got a hearty chuckle there.
I'd make a WAG and say 10% of the early rifles are still in unaltered condition.

Tnx Jed.
So How Mnay Savage's Do Ya Have so we can start getting a total.
Steve

I have owned 11 1899s, but now only have 3. But wanting more. John

Sorry, but if I can get one in .45/70, .45/90 or .45/110 - any of the above would have to come with a shotgun butt rather than a cresent butt. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well some us said that already.
Trying to Get a Count Of Savage's Of what all the Members have so we can get a total Out there?

You can count my 49EG and 55F. (Both in .300 Savage)

.303 TD, refinished wood, nice metal, interupted reciever, full thread barrel,with Lyman 21
.32-40 TD super rat, has the prettiest grained walnut forearm with checkering but the butt stock is a replacement. Metal sucks.
H in 250 has a barrel band.
G in .300 with added recoil pad.
R in .300 with a Pachmar swing mount and 4x Hawk (post and fine hair).
.358 Brush Gun, 3x Leupold

now there's "666".

Help! there's gotta be more...

I've got 36 1895's, 14 1899 SRC's, 6 MHG Muskets and about 25 1899 A's, B's and C's in all conditions..........Dick

36 M1895's!!! That is amazing. Anyone know of anyone who has more M1895's than this???

Dick - do you have all the calibers made in the M1899 SRC covered in those 14 that you have? And, any with the early "small barrel band"?

Dick,

that don't sound like a collection as much as an "investment portfolio".

IMPRESSIVE!!!

Don't you count MHG bayonets as Savages as well?

747...

An 1899E in 250-3000, an 1899 250-3000, 3 F's in 243, 300, and 308, and a A in 308. Six total.
steve99

S99,
You need a 358 F to round things out w/your F collection a lil bit....
I happen to know wheres theres a dandy for sale.

Jed,

Yeah, I remember seein' that one a while back. A 250 and 358 would round things out nicely. I am out of the market for this year though. My wife insists that a deck and furnishings are more needed than Savages. That composite deck is expensive stuff. If its still available next year...

only two

a 300 in the rare war years production complete with kill notches

and a post mil 243 but still rotary

My dad has a T/D H in 22 Hi Power.
The there is the 22 Hi Power my Grandparents neighbor has.
And there is the 99C (I know, not a real 99) the was my great-uncles that some of my family members screwed me out of.

767 and counting...

I forgot to add that a friends dad has on old savage in 303 that the factory couldn't letter. Not sure what model it is but I do remember it has an octogon barrel. I only saw the rifle once, but it seems he said it was an 1899.

I forgot to add my brothers' and my uncles. Both 300 sav. eg, around 1953 I think.So that's 2 more!

Boltman, yes I have all the winchester calibers in SRC's. The only SRC I have with the bbl band is an 1895......


olgrouser, I have 5 bayonets, forgot to mention them. You are right in that it is a collection that has gotten out of hand and looks more like an investment portfolio <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I started out by collecting everything Savage lever guns. I have now narrowed it down quite a bit. I find it hard to get rid of my 1899's in Win. cal. I have all the calibers in the A's and B's. have a couple Deluxe's and afew special order feature guns. Safe is getting pretty full, though. Too many guns and not enough time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />........Dick

770 and counting

Heck Guy's I figured with all the Members and collectors'owners etc we'd be in the thousands range by now.???? Looks as if that there are not many around?
Steve

all dried up...better you head for them Marlin's.

Jed
I Guess So. Maybe I should ask the Marlin Guys!

Tnx Guy's
Up to 944 Now. Let's Keep'em Coming.
Steve

I have an even dozen.

emmitt

tnx
956 now

About a dozen, a few unaltered, most custom or customized, Griffin & Howe, Shelhamer, Jaeger, Randall (obscure Oregon gunsmith but wonderful 7-30), Epps, Dowtin, MPI, couple without ID. Only fancy original is an A2 Special from 1909.

tnx mark
968 now.

Here's what I have:
1 1899 .250 Deluxe - different #ed buttplate
1 1899 .250 Deluxe - had holes drilled in receiver
1 99R in .250 - original
1 1899B in .30-30 - original
1 1899F SRC in .30-30 - original
So my list is five, all used but not abused!!!!

Then my great uncle-in-law has a 99R in .308 and he'd be even greater if he'd give it to me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> and I can think of three EG's in .250, one .300, one .22 Hi-Power 1899H that neighbors have and a 99E in .243 that I sold. So I guess with my 5 you can add another 6 for a grand total of 11.

RandySavage99

An RS w/ G&H side mount in .300 Sav.

A G in .300, well used but unbubba'ed.

A DL in .300 Sav.

An 1899 A in .303 Sav.

Hello, everyone. I haven't been on the forum in a awhile. Count two more 99's. Have an EG that's D&T'ed with a Lyman Alaskan and a takedown that I think is an older F. Not sure. The count is a great idea. A few of you guys own more 99's than I've ever seen!!

I have a M99eg in .300 Savage that is all original except for the scope mount tapping. Dunno if the sling mounts are original. This rifle got my grandfather, my father and myself our first deer. Lots of history with that gun!!!

rahtl, that's the best kind of 99 to own!

txati2d, post a pic of your older 99 and we'll help ya identify it.

And, I now have my 6th 99, a 1935 99EG in 300. Even bigger rat than I anticipated due to some stock damage incurred during shipping. Sigh...

So, that's a total of 1,199 currently? Steve, do we have to subtract the few dozen you're auctioning off? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

you have already counted my 29, but I got two more since I first gave you my count. Nice .243 "f" came from Jed today. Yee Haw!

that took quite awhile to make it to you...glad you like it.

.338 Federal and/or .358 Winchester.

260 Remington. And they wouldn't have to retool the 308 action. Just screw on a 260 Barrel.

Personal opinion, but... I believe that the 308 stretched the 99 frame a mite too long. It lost the smoothness that made the 99 the sweetest handling lever gun of all. When Savage lengthened the 99 frame, it just became too long and less smooth than the shorter 300 size frame; but it is OK. Another stretch, I feel would be too much.

Therefore, I vote for the 338 Federal as a new cartridge - it has 30-06+ performance and licks on the heels of the 7mm Remington. AND, it will fit into the 308 frame.

With modern CNC milling, the costs should not be excessive, so a new 99 could be priced competively!

Hi Steve
Its Mike.Started collecting(and shooting)99's about five years ago.Thanks to Steve I have ammo.Count me down for 43 .I
love my 303's and 358's.

Mike
As in Pizza1??? On G.B.
Steve

Yes,I am glad I found this site.It will be helpfull.You guys know
your stuff.

Howdy boys, I am new to the forum but you can put me down for 3.

99 E - 243 My first hunting gun that started it all
99 E - 308
99 T - 250-3000 My first Savage purchased as a collector and not a shooter. Now I have the bug and I am not sure if that is a good thing....financially.

Well that's Great Mike.
Les (Violator) Will be glad to Know.
He was Bidding on that 22-250 Ya Got On G.B.
He wanted it and Wanted to Know Who You Where.
Steve

Paid too much for that one.There is another one on G.B.
Its in better shape then the one I bought.Starting out at high
price.Hope to get out this week shooting.Just picked up
a 99f in 358 at a local gun shop.Mounted a scope and cant wait
to sight it in.Talk to you soon.

You'LL Like the 358. Bit Of a Kick. But Nice Shootin.
Just Sighted Mine In Last week.
Now debating On which Gun to Use in 2 Weeks.
Steve

Hi Mike, welcome, by the way I hate you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> How does that 22-250 shoot? Les

HI Les
Didn't shoot it yet.The pictures looked better than the gun did.No hard feelings.We all are probably going to run into each
other on gun auctions since we are all out for the same thing.I
saw that 1895 you got on the auction.Looks like a nice gun.I think you got a great deal.I didnt start collecting the old ones yet.Anyway nice talking to you.
Mike

A be Nice Now Les.
After all Look at where it Got Me On to?? And Us. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Add my .300 EG to the tally.

That makes 1,249... so far.

Very nice Steve! Where'd you get that?

Steve,

I was wondering who would go all in for that one...

Great gun, I've not seen a better MHG, what's the serial #?

B.

I have 2 25/20 savage sporters passed down from grandfather to grandson if anyone knows were i can get a clip for them i have one missing and would love to make gun complete.

Hey Guys,
Ive inherited a 300 Sav. 99 F Ser. # 338xxx which seems to have been manufactured in 1931, and was interested in possibly selling it. I have been searching for information on the value but am not certain of it's worth. Any input would be welcome.

Thanks

Welcome Mybabiesdad

Any pics? What condition?

It's in very good condition. the stock shows some wear, but the blueing is perfect with no flaws. I will put some pictures on.

Here are some pics of the 1931 300 Sav. Model 99 F The blueing on this rifle is like new.

Let me try that again.

I have 2 (so far):
1952 99EG 300sav
1960 99F 308win

I know where Holden is....Actually i am over seas as a military contractor...though i am also now a member of the Air National Guard in STL which is moving to Whiteman soon....though i think i will non retain....

I live in downtown STL
Cheers from the Persian Gulf

LM99 let me know if your ever out this way. By the way whats the 99 count up to ? dose anyone know?

Looking for info on .250-3000 savage with circle sp stamped in it.
when was it manufacfured
seir# 421###
Lever action, orig. stock

I'll take a Savage 99 in 260 Rem.

wherever they are, they're hard to find. I have one model 99
EG & having new wood made. Called a bunch of gunshops,
& nobody in this area has any for sale. Put a wanted ad in
our local newspaper & we'll see what comes of that. Looks
like these guns may be a good investment (great way to
rationalize).

Just picked up a 99 F 284 win. add another one to the total. John

Tnx John
Will Get Up-dated totals Soon.
Come all You Guys I Know that Many have Not Posted,
Hey Jed goota to in the rafters and get us a Count!!!
Stever

+1 more for me...boring old okay shape 300 EG

and another if I can convince Steve to sell me something out of his HUGE closet....haha <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Add two more to the tally. I just stumbled across this thread!

I've got a 99F in 308 and 99EG in 300 Sav. Let a takedown model 30-30 slip thru my hands last summer because I was dazzled by the prospect of one in 358 Win that I really didn't have a prayer of getting. Still looking for that 358, though.

And two more - 1941 made 99EG in 300 savage bought new by my grandfather in original condition with redfield peep; and 1951 made in 308 win with low power variable "brush scope", my every day deer gun.

Steve,
You may as well ad 27 more to the total, I had not been paying any attention to this thread til today. Good job!

Bob

Steve,

Add 1 more for me, Model C 30-30 half octagon, half round 26" from 1902. Makes an even dozen for me.

My 1899C in 30-30 accepted from the factory on April 5th, 1902. SN is 31.8xx. Close? And congrats... tough to find 1899C's.

Steve, talked with my brother and you can add another 50 between his and mine were up to 200 total. Don <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I own 18, son owns 1, buddy Dennis owns 2. Thats 21 here in a square mile. Would LOVE to see them come out with a 99 in 257 Roberts.

Now Ya Talking A 257 Roberts. One of My Most well Liked Calibors.

2 EGs and 1 E, all in .300 Savage.

I have a Savage 99M 308 cal. rifle. Does anyone know any information on this rifle?? The M is what Im having trouble finding any info for. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />

It would be best to make a new post of your question vs. tacking on to this posting. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

99-M was Savage code for monte carlo comb. Common to the DL.
Repost your question, give us a serial range and some details and we should be able to tell you a little more.

I've got one--a 99R made in 1956.

Rod

I'm brand new to this site and I just got 99 manufactured in 1922. It was given to me by my in laws who had it for awhile. It chambered in 300 savage. Got few nics and scratches but in excellent condition. I'm trying to learn more about it.I am in Dallas TX.
ReySC

Reysc, start a new thread and give us specifics. We'll nail down everything you want to know. If you can post a pic, that always helps.

Will do, let me get a pic and will post soonest!! Thanks a lot!

Great thanks.

This a good gun? going to fire some rounds this weekend! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Hey Guys,
My '99 has an F on the barrel and G on the reciever with the barrel removed, it is a takedown model. The forestock is checkered with a delicate schnoble no checkering on the end. It has a pistol grip w/ checkering. The front sight is a ramp w/steel bead the rear is a Lyman 1A. Oh yeah, it's a 300 Savage. What exact model do I have?

The serial # 338339.

Hey guys, please don't post your questions in this posting. Click the "POST" button and start your own new question. Glad to answer your questions just not here.

Not sure I have an "Original", I think mine is a Blue & Wooden Rat, but none the less a Savage99 of some model.

.25 -.35 S/N 46.90X Octagon Barrel

Lucky man.. that would be a 1899B in a rare and highly desired caliber. Nice shooter.

Feel free to start up another thread asking for info on it and we'll tell ya all about it.

I just bought one that I'm in love with. It's an 1899a takedown in .300 savage. S/N is 243,***. It's in great shape but I'm afraid it's been refinished, so I'll probably refinish it again but with a more period finish instead of the tru-oil that I suspect they used. Otherwise in great condition for an 85 year old gun. I'm going to look for a peep sight for it and intend to use it for hunting but it won't go to the woods. For me, hunting means opening the window in the living room. Got one taht way this morning with my 99E post-mil.

I found a letter written to me 'bout 6 yrs ago, a man who has his late father's 1895 .303, oct.bbl. rifle. #10,047, acquired it about 1940. The granddad, a machinist, mechanic, & gunsmith, didn't like the long length & chewed him (dad) out for it. So-o-o he cut down the oct. barrel and fixed it back to life. Son said he hasn't fired it in years.

Haven't heard from him since........... 99 LL

I would like to see the .358 Winchester and the .32 Win Special.

This thread has gone nuts. What the heck was the last count?
Last number I could find was 1249.

Well, we'd need all new counts from Steve and Mike for it to be close, they've probably bought another hundred or so by now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well Rory
I was Looking For voulenters in Helping with the Count.
Now that You Have Stepped Up. Ya can work some Computor Magic for Me.

Tnx For Helping Rory.

1899 Takedown 303sav. not sure what Md it is yet

Well, I've reviewed this thread, created a bit of a spreadsheet and here's what I've got. This includes ONLY 1895's, 1899s and 99s. 1895 Commemoratives fall into the 99 category.. cuz I'm generous. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I didn't include friends or neighbors, only forum members and relatives. Seemed more pertinent..

If anybody has updates since they posted here, either follow up or PM me. Some here may not want to post how many they have out of privacy concerns. I'll keep it private for you.

• Savage 1895's -- 48
• Savage 1899's -- 98

Another one 300sav. 1936 made EG rat

Forgot my father in law- add 2 1899's in 303 and one 99EG in 300, Rich.

1899A TD 303 Savage 26" round barrel, Marbles tang sight. Serial number 108,XXX. Still looking for brass! moodyholler

I have always believed a man should have 2 rifles. One is a .22;
the other a 30.06. Can't see wasting a 99 on .22's!
I do not think I have ever seen an "original" Model 99.
There wasn't many of them here in the midwest when they were being made let alone now. In all of the gunshows, auctions, etc I have attended I have only seen 3 of them. I would have brought 2 of them home only if they were free and the other was very expensive.
Dan

Rory

Tnx Mike and Joe.

P.S. Joes was that 22 Included???

Nope, I thought this was just 99's?

It was Intended for that Joe.
But I gotta Go Through a Couple Pages Back I thought I saw SOme other Savage Models Added In. I could be Wrong and Probably am.

I now have (3). 2-99's and an 1899 that have not been entered on this post!! Mike...

Put me down for that 303 H carbine that I got 2 weeks ago! John

Add the 99F 308 i just found in my uncles closet and walked away with for 150.00 and it looks like new. never used in over 30 yrs # 943638

Add 3 More For Me. A 300 "F' 250 "F" and 1895

Late update, but here she is. Steve, that 1895 you listed is an original 1895 and not a commemorative, right? If so, here's what's been listed in this thread so far.

• 99's ------ 227
• 1899's --- 103
• 1895's --- 49
• Unknown - 1143
• Total ---- 1522

And, no, I'm not keeping track of anything outside of the 1895/1899/99 family. So 22's only count if they're 22HP's or 22-250's.

99 T 300 here

CR

Are these Fugs numbers?

This is pretty strong "anti-99" talk I assume we have a "team" dispatched to deal with this

Nope, no public or PM'd count from FUG... or you...

I got two. A "G" and an "h" Neither messed with

i've got 99 in 30-30
303 savage
300 savage
and favorite 358

Welcome to the forum, tr405! Nice group you have there. Do you know exact models? I'd love to see a pic.

idon't know exact models and i will try to get pics up soon

Post a new thread with pics, and we'll help ya out. Some might be a tad brutally honest, but in the long one it's always best to know what it is you have.

I've got 1 passed down by my grandfather. It's the one with the barrel band - can't remember what model that is -- 303 Savage. Shoots dead on if I do my part. No holes for the funny handles everyone puts on the new rifles.

Chad

Sorry, only one. A 99A in .358 that has been "improved" by an unknowing artisan. Holes for a side mounted sight and what looks like a 10-22 swivel on the fore end.
batch

I have a couple of 99Fs, one in 250 Sav. and the other in .308. I think that model was one of Savages's best hunting models. Both have brass rotors and underlever safties. Should come back out with them.

I also have a rare Savage mod. 99EG in .308 caliber. Only a very few were produced in .308 before the 99F came out.

I would like to see a miniture 99EG in 223 and 6x45 come out. The whole thing just scaled down, but Savage hasn't been in touch with the shooting community for many years now, so it will not happen, the computer boys have taken over Savage and wow can they come out with some off the wall crap.

I have 2 for the list. 1950 99EG 300 Savage & 99E 300 Savage. Ken

Tnx Ken
Stever

here is one for your list 1899 in 25-35 winchester made in 1905 got it yesterday for 100 dollars an yard sale wonder what it is really worth

OH dear lord.. you found an 1899C in 25-35 for $100 on a yard sale? It's worth a LOT more if it's got any condition. Geez... $100? Bloody thief!

Man
I gotta Start Hittin Yard Sales.
Stever

danw,
Depends on the condition, but I would be interested in buying it when you arrive at a price.

no i dont want to sell it just wondered what it was worth shoots real well packs on a horse even better can now give my old 300s a break during deer season. also have a 99e in 300 sav and a 99c in 300 sav no wont sell them eithier one was uncles and the other was my dads

I would like to see a scaled down 99EG in .222, 223 and 6x45, a miniture Savage 99..wow!

I would also like for the 99F (circa 1950 era) to come back with brass rotor, underlever saftey, checkered walnut in 250 savage caliber mostly, but the .243, 308, 7-08 would be good alternative options.

Love that .250, shot a lot of deer and several elk with it when I was a youngster....

I got a 30-30 take down, model 99 or 1895 . Still trying to figure out witch model i have.

Petergun

Add 1 more to the total. 99H carbine serial # 3033XX. Thanks. I know it's not my job, but I was curious. I went back to the last posted total and worked to my post. I'm counting 1540 rifles.

Savage Model 99F in .300 sav mfg 1955

Um
Your Right.
That Was Given to Rory to Keep Up the Counting.
Now Add
2 "T"'s, and 30-30 1899,a 35 Rem-1899,
and 300 eg,a 300 G preChecker,a 22 H.P.
6 More!
so 1546. I thinks.

Welcome
Nice rifle
Steve

Okay folks.. if you've been wheeling and dealing then post your new counts, or PM me if you prefer your stashes remain private. If you can, separate them into 1899's, 99's and 1895's and I'll total them up that way.

1-1895
12-1899's

I have an original 1895 .303 Savage, s/n 6550. I am looking for an owners manual for it.

Darned good luck finding that... however, you've found the right group to ask questions of and get answers. Start a new post and you'll get lots of answers to your questions.

Welcome to the forum, by the way!

Ya'll know I've got it so add the 1899 F saddle ring carbine made in 1904 to the mix.

Wayne

I guess I should add one 1895....


Mike...

I have an 1895 .303 Savage. I have never fired it but I would like to. It's in emaculate condition. It was produced by John Marlin. I have a certificate from the Savage Historian that says it was returned to the factory in 1920 for unspecified work. It has a hex barrel, machined bolt, which was not stock. It may have been re-blued at that time. I have two boxes of ammo for it. My problem is I don't know how to tear it down and clean the revolving magazine. I don't want to fire it until I know is clean and safe. Does anyone have and cleaning instructions?
Thanks

I never liked the Savage 99's looks so I missed a lot of good buys. Last year I had a chance to buy a 1952 model in 300 Savage. Man , is it smooth! Accuracy is not minute of angle (4" groups at 100 yards with a 4X scope), but I really like the rifle.

With modern CNC machinery, it should not be too expensive to get it back into production. Savage, are you listening?

djs, it should be shooting better than that if it's got a good bore and if you can do your part (I presume you can). Might try shooing it with the forearm off and the bottom of the receiver sitting on the rest. Sometimes too much pressure from the forearm can throw the accuracy off.

Welcome to the forum! Usually one rifle leads to an addiction, so good luck with that.

I have four 99's:
T .30-30 1922?
EG .30-30 1937 - 1938
EG .30-30 1937 - 1938
EG .300 Sav 1937 - 1938

I would like buy EG ,1936-1939, .22 Sav., .250, and .303 before my death, but I don't think about it...

ADK
(I have stroke/aphasia)

Calibers? 7mm-08, 300 Savage, 308 Winchester, 338 Federal.

With modern CNC milling technologies, the Savage 99 could be re-introduced at a reasonable cost.

I have a 1939 EG Savage 99 .300 Sav

Welcome. Nice Rig ya Got THere.
Tnx For Sharing. Keep Collecting.

Thanks........

Howdy all
I'm just pulling up my blanket to the campfire.....
thought I'd add mine to the list...
I have a 1899B in 25-35, mfg 1912, got it from my dad when he died, he had purchased from one of his uncles, beyond that who knows; it has what appears to be a leather butt "plate" in place of the original one
It hasn't been shot a whole lot since I used to deer hunt with it, but I know it shoots through the same hole with open sights at 25 yds

Picture!!!!


Mike...

Add 6 More

Steve

I'd really love a plain jane 99 chambered in 250 or 300 Savage. Straight grip stock and a schnabel forend. Even one of those is hard to find in east Tennessee...

I have wanted one for years and finally realized the dream. It is a .300 Savage, probably and early EG, in great shape for about a 70-year-old. Just need to get it out and shoot it. It has a new Marble peep and hope to bust some deer with it this fall.

Well, I'm new to the forum but I might as well chime in. I have 2 with another on the way. I don't know how to tell an A from an E or an XYZ but one is a non-tinkered with 300 takedown built around 1930. One is a .358 Timber Rifle. The recoil pad was hard as a brick so I changed it but I kept the old one. The one on the way is a 250-3000. I hope to have it in the safe next week.

The 300 is the one that got me interested in the Model 99s. A girl at my office got fired and called me begging me to buy some of her husband's guns. I agreed before I found out she was fired for stealing the boss blind while he was fighting a serious illness. I bought the 300 from her because it was a takedown rifle and had a tang sight. Shortly thereafter I hurt my back and didn't feel like toting a scoped rifle. I hunted with the old Savage and was hooked. As my back got better over the next few years it became my "office gun." I broke it down and stuck the two halves in the legs of a pair of old blue jeans and put it in the closet at work. (The boss is very cool with it). My hunting lease is 20 minutes from the office. On those days when the phone wouldn't let me get work done I'd grab the jeans ahd head for the woods.

I don't have a clue why I bought the 358 or the 250-3000. I guess that's part of the affliction. I'm thinking about a very gray one in 303 Savage at my local gun shop. They are asking $300. Who knows what I will do about that. Ammo won't be a problem since I roll my own. Guess I got off topic. Sorry about that!

300Takedown
Welcome. Tnx for Sharing.
Post some Pics and the 1st digits of serial number and we can Tell ya Model and date.
Steve

Thanks! I'll figure out how to post pictures in a day or so. Two of them are in the back of the safe and its a chore to dig them out. Besides that, the wife knows about 2 of them so if she never sees more than 2 at one time... My count just went from 2 1/2 model 99s to 3 1/2. The latest one is an 1899 in 303 Savage. I ran the serial # on two of those sites that tell you when it was made and they both said 1913. I went to my local gun shop to check on where the heck the 250-3000 one that I just bought is and got to looking this one over. Before I knew it, the darned thing followed me home. Its definitely the most used of the ones that I have but I think it will shoot OK.

So, when I post the pictures do I post them as reply on this thread or do I start a new one. I have no clue what I'm doing here!

Start a new thread. Always glad to look at new 99's!

I have 2
99A in 30-30 Semi Buckhorn
99k in 30-30 Full Buckhorn

Hey Matt,

Post with pics please!!

Thanks, Mike...

First time on the forum. I'm still using a 99 .300 Savage that I shot my first deer with at 12. I'm in my late fifties and my grandfather had won the rifle in one of the old time punch boards sometime in the early 1900's. He gave it to my father who gave it to me. Still knocks down the muleys and elk.

I have 6 now. I had 2 300's and a .243. I just picked up a .308, .30.30, and a .303 at an estate auction. This guy hsd 5,000 plus guns. They've had 3 autions already and at least 3 more planned. Incredible amounts of antique guns. everything was in racks in a big block building. Talk about obssesive compulsive. Not that it's a bad thing in this case. I'm going to the ammo auction this Saturday 300,000 rounds worth. Maybe I can find ammo for the .303 anybody know where I can get some dies?

Very nice! Lee still makes a die set for the 303 Savage. Only runs about $27 or so. Works fine for me.

By the way.. feel free to start another thread with some pics if you ever get time.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanx Cal! I'll see if Robbie can order me some. I'll have to take some pics. They're going to have 3 more auctions from this guys estate I'll have to see what other calibers he had. He had a lot of older guns. Check it out at nyecountyauctions.com. Lots of good pics. You guys are great!

My Grandaddy's Sav 99 .300 savage has been in a gun case for some 35 years. I think it's Pre-War model EG or R , 24" barrel, stock and forearm match serial #. He didn't use it much so barrel is pristine.

Take that rifle out and hunt it! Pre-war 99 in 300 is a great North American hunting rifle. And we'd love to see pics if you can manage.. we'll tell you all about it. Just open up a new thread with the pics.

I'll add 4.
1913 H 22HP TD.
1921 F 303 TD.
1923 F 30-30 TD.
1954 EG 300.

None are completely original.
SOS

Also have 2 1920's, one in each caliber. They appear all original.

Welcome!! Very nice group of rifles there.

You can add three in a dealer's safe in South Africa

7429xx - 250Sav - ?EG ?1954
3651xx - 22HP - ?G ?1937

add 2 more to my last count of 4. the new ones are;
a 1939 300 takedown
a 1970s 250 straight stock 20 inch bl
total now 6

Okay.. in the middle of massive work the next couple of days, and deer season this weekend. Everybody update what they have (or PM me if you don't want to publicize your count) and I'll total it up when I get back. I've got totals by 1899s, 99s, and 1895s, so split the count if you can.

I just purchased all original EG #552xxx that has spent most of it's past 57 years in a closet.

I started a new thread. But wanted to jump into this one too! Here are my 2 Savage rifles. Pics are below on the link. Model 1895 ser 5971 and Model 99 EG (According to Les) ser # 747217. Take care Savage

I have a Savage 99 EG made in 1940. It is SN 3904**. The caliber is .300 Savage. It is all original but for a marbles tang sight which is not in the attached photo.

Have 15 , as follows:
1. 1899A , 303 1911
2. 1899 H , 22 hi power 1911
3. 1899-99 G , 250 sav. 1921
4. 99 G 300 sav. 1926
5. 99B 303 1927
6. 99F 300 1930
7. 99G 303 1930
8. 99R 300 1938
9. 99EG 300 1950
10. 99EG 250 1952
11. 99EG 300 1952
12. 99F 300 1955
13. 99R 300 1957
14. 99F 308 1958
15. 99RS 300 1953

Add four more to the list.

1899 A .303 1902 all original with Bird's eye maple stock.
1899 marked transition 99 30-30 1924
99 EG .300 1941
99 R .300 1952

Most of my dozen or so are customs, do not know if they count for this compilation.

My Savage 99 EG .300 was handed down to me by my dad. It appears to be stock except for an aftermarket rubber buttplate. The Marble sight appears to be original. It was the rifle he carried every day on our families sheep ranch. The ranch is now part of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area on the Snake River in Idaho. It is still a three day hike to get to the remains of the cabin he was raised in but when I go back I will carry and trust the same rifle he did. My rifle is not a show gun but of my 5 or 6 rifles the Savage is the one I would choose if I could only have one. The balance is superb and my accuracy with it says a hell of a lot more about the gun than my accuracy. With the Savage I can quickly blast a milk jug At 100 yards on my first shot, but using my CETME it may be on the second or third shot. The Savage just feels like part of me when I shoot it. Having a gun you trust and can shoot well trumps having a pretty stock and perfect blueing any day. Rifle serial #7487xx

Add a post-mil F in .358

I wanted to make a legitimate contribution....

I think 45-70, 35 rem, 300 sav., 250 sav, 22 sav hi power would cover everything. You could replace 300, 250 and 22 sav. with 308, 243 and 223 but you'd loose the nostalgia. Besides, the critters you shot dead wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
I have one originaly beautiful 1941 Utica 99 EG that feels like it was custom made for me when I bring it up and fire.

Add another post mill-.308 Win in a 99e

243 Win SUCKS compared to a 250 Sav, better check your ballistic charts, the 250 crunches that Winny cart, can't say that about the others.

Well, sorry for being a bit late, but here's the new counts. If anybody wants to update their last count please PM me or post. These counts are based off of this thread only, I didn't monitor all the other threads.

• Savage 99's - 384
• Savage 1899's - 174
• Savage 1895's - 55
• Unspecified Savage Lever Actions - 1,174
• Total Savage Lever Actions - 1,787

Thank-you for Taking the time to Up-Date,,very much appreciated.
I will P.M. you in a couple days as to the new stash i got over the holidays.
Again Thank-you
steve

Add another one here, .300 Savage, I'll dig up the serial numbers later.

Yup, 99EG. Sometime after 1939. Sling studs are added, but beautiful rifle. Looks like it might have some nice figure in that stock?

Add (3) 99's for me

.303 Sav, .300 Sav and .250-3000 Sav.

You can add an 1899 30-30 from Canada. This one was bought originally by my grandfather or possibly great-grandfather. From the serial number lookup it was made in 1912. Family story is that the marks in the stock are from bear teeth. Doesn't say much for the gun or the shooter if the bear got that close though!



Ron

I have two: a 99F in .243 and a 99G takedown in .300 Savage.

Welcome to the forum. Good taste in guns there, also!

Add a 243 & a .22 HP from Southern Oregon

No Stillgoing.
Steve

Put me down for a 1899 short rifle 303sav. 1911 year! John

You can add two more to the list 1931 Sav250 and 1954 243w
A Honda XL 250 and a Sav99 250 are very bad news for the Western Australian wild Goat population

Hi. Found this forum from another forum. Saw the reference to the Mod 99. My father has a .300/410 breakdown. It has the rotary magazine although the 410 is a single shot. He calls it his camp/survival rifle. I am not a collector of Savages but I thought I would let you know there is another one out there surviving in original form.

I just added a 99T to my meager collection. Any idea what our total is now???

Well, after updating from this thread I get these counts. I'm sure that we're WAY off on some of the regulars who posted a ways back.

• Savage 99's : 391
• Savage 1899's : 183
• Savage 1895's : 55
• Unknown : 1179
• Total : 1808

I have not added any for awhile, add 1 1899E in 30-30, a 1936 uncheckered 300 EG, and a 1946 300 EGT sold a 308 F but its Still in the family on here! John

John
What Happend to the 303 Ya Got From Me??

Still have it, I listed that one along time ago! these are just new to me savages! Oh also a 1899 303 short rifle, almost forgot that one! John

You can add 8 1899's & 3 99's here

...Add one 99F in 284 Winchester.

I have a few to add but you will have to wait until I get home to give an accurate count with model number as I bought them sight unseen and must see the results before saying what they are...

A late arrival to the total but add

99F 358 WCF & 99R in 300 SAV.

Ok group I'll add what I have.

1- 99eg post war-300sav.
1- 99eg post war- 250-3000

That's it fellars.
.

My frist hunting rifle was a 99. I don't care what they made them in as long as they made them again. One og the best rifle ever........

I am waiting for an 1899 in 38-55 as soon I have the information I will forward it to you.

Folks - I have a 1949 Model 99 in .300 Savage (#506xxx). This gun was bought new for my Pop when he was 12. Its been heavily used for deer hunting by him in PA. It's my priniciple Hog shooter out here in California. My Dad tells me he took 2 inches off the barrel (bummer) although I can't tell by looking. Iron sight is a Redfield mounted at about the same time the gun was bought. Gun is very very accurate. Don't know what the letter designation is for this gun. Would be interested to know. Add this one to the global count.

Otto, in 1949 there were only 2 models. A schnabel forearm would make it a 99EG, a rounded forearm would make it a 99R. Welcome to the forum, that's a priceless 99 you have with some great history!

Thanks! Its the schnabel with some nice checkering. I'd post some pictures but I can't seem to figure out how to upload them.

Add a 1899A in 38-55, serial number 103,6XX. 26 inch barrel, uncut crown. Circa 1909-1910.

Add a 99K .300 number 298XXX given to me when I was sixteen buy a neighbor who I mowed his lawn. He always promised it to my dad so my dad said. Took my first deer with it.
Ken

I just purchased a 1941 99 takedown in 250-3000. I believe it would be the 99G. Serial #402XXX. All original and matching, great shape. Coolest gun I've ever owned.

3 pre mil 99's
1 1899

Savage model 99h 25-35 take down ser. 129xxx

Savage 1899 25-35 octagon barrel ser. 72xxx

Savage model 99 300savage ser. 687xxx boss code 19e

Hi folks,
I own a 1899, 22HP, manufactured in 1913.
Got it a few weeks ago and didn't know what it was.
The Savage 1899 is completely unknown here in Germany.
I am afraid, there are not much more guns like that here.
Best regards from Warstein

Pasche

Only own one, haven't gottten it in my hands yet, 12 days to go.
1920 TD 30-30 rebarreled.

Pre war EG rebarrelled to 25-35, serial number 381XXX.

Just one...A model 99 .300 manufactured in 1927 according to the serial number. Gave to my father in 1929 by his father.

I currently own and hunt with a 1954 savage 99 in 300 savage. This has been in my family since new. It was my great great grand fathers, it is in very good shape, I have had this gun since I was 12 years old

I put one on 48-hour hold today. It's an 1899 in .303 with light blueing on the barrel, gray on the receiver. Chipped away at tang, oiled stock. No rust or pitting. They want $700. What do you think it's value should be?

Chip missing at stock with round barrel? Much less than $700.. If you're looking for an oldie in 303, let me know and I'll give you links to some shooters that are to be found on the internet.

Add
a 1899A 303 26in half round Oct Barrell
Engraved.
1899 C 303
1899 250 B.B.

Steve.. no pics? Have Stephan post a few for you.

As soon as I get around to It. They'll Be Up tomorrow Sometime.
I Hope. Just Not In the Mood Last Couple Of weeks for Anything Much!

You can ad my 95 to the list. It is an unmolested original serial 668X and is complete except that the rear sight is broken. It is in 303 Savage.

There Up Rory. On a Post for ya.

Nice way to start a Savage collection. What is the barrel configuration?

I have three:

250/3000 Deluxe wood amd checkering SN178xxx
30/30 T SN391xxx
300 EG SN634xxx

Always looking for more. They aren't real plentiful around here, but when you find one, it's not usually in bad shape.

Regarding my Savage 95, the barrel is half Octagon half round.

I'm up to 4 ...

300sav, 99C 7mm-08, 99e 358win (rebarrel) 99F 7mm-07 (rebarreled)

but always looking for more :-)

I Love My 99's

Talon

jeez, I don't know when I last added but I am up to 11 which means that I am going to have to buy at least one more pretty soon to be at an even dozen

Latest pick ups were:

250-3000 takedown
1899C 30-30
1899C 303
1899A 30-30
1899H 30-30

Nothing too nice in, just shooters...

not really a hige fan of 30-30 but thats just the way it happened.

Well, make a liar out of me!

I had to leave the gun show early yesterday, to go to a birthday party about 60 miles away, and my car wouldn't start. One of the show staff members, after letting me use his cell phone to call my wife, suggested I talk to the ladies who had several tables next to where my buddy and I had been set up. They have a combination auto repair shop and gun shop about a half mile from where the show was held. I made arrangements for them to get my car over to their shop after the show, and see what the problem was.

My wife and I had been out running some errands this morning, and because we were in the area, I suggested we drive by and see if my car had been moved out of the lot. It was gone, so we went to the repair shop so I could see what was going on, and it was outside on a battery charger. They had gotten it to start and were charging the battery so they could check out the systems, and make sure it wasn't just the battery. When we went inside, I was amazed at how they had enlarged the gun shop since I had been there before. We discussed the car situation, and then I was chatting with one of the owners about the gun business. I mentioned an interest in 99's, and was told they had three right now. I had seen the commemarative they had on the wall, but hadn't noticed the other two. One was an older, well worn but sound early .303. After looking at it, I said I suppose the other one is a .300. No. it was a .250, looking as though it had just come out of the box. I looked at the tag, and tried to get my wife to go back into the car, but she wouldn't, so I had to put a deposit on it right then and there.

Serial 597xxx, EG

And here I had just complained that 99's were hard to find around here.

there hard to find in Northern IL b/c of Steve!!

I have a savage 99 that was traded to my grandfather for an outboard motor in 1956,300 sav. made in 1949 according to the savage 99 website.I'ts in fair condition, with a clean bore but some surface rust.brass mag twister, small schnable forend and it has a redfield peep sight on it.
to my knowledge it was last fired in 1983 by me and sat it the rafters of my families camp until 3 years ago when I got it,a gallon of breakfree and 3 years later it don't look so bad.
It still has the surface rust on it though,any recomendations an getting it looking good again?

Buy some Flitz and go to it.. it removes surface rust really well. Picked up a 3.4oz bottle at Cabela's for about $10.

That rifle would be a 99EG, by the way. Great hunting gun.

personally if its an EG and means more to you as a hunter and family heirloom than anything...I would strip it and reblue it...not expensive...will make it look like a million dollars again and will do some good to protect the metal from corrossion...some ppl around here would call me a heretic for saying this....

Try WD40 and white Scotch-Brite on the surface rust. I think
you'll be pleasantly surprized.

thanks for the info folks.
I was told the marking on the bottom of the lever indicates the model(eg,c,ect)
the marking I found looks like it could be an F or an H or an E, but it is hard to tell,any ideas?

The bottom the lever indicates age based on the letter...the model if an EG is often marked on the front of the reciver...you would have to take the forearm off to see it. Post a picture but everyone here can confirm with relative assurance that it is a model EG w/o the hassle...

okay,thanks.
I would guess the EG model is the most common, work horse variant?

most common by far and the only schanble tipped 99 made in 1949 (I am 99% on this but will allow an expert to tell you for sure)...it it is a 1949 there should be two letters followed by the letter A on the lever boss.

1949-A
1950-B
1951-C
etc

Like I said though...the best thing to do is just post a picture...everyone loves looking at these old guns...

I don't know how how to post a pic, I'll try and figure it out though.

I pulled the fore arm off and the only marking I could find was an L stamped into the front of the reciever,but it could be a poorly stamped T,I looked at it with a magnafying glass and I'm pretty sure it's an L,mabey a 7?
it is a Chicopee Falls gun, and has proof tested stamped on the right side of the barrel,300 Savage on top,and Savage 99 on the left,steel butt plate and looks like a black plastic end cap on the pistol grip.the rear sight was removed for a Redfield peep,and the front sight is large and dovetailed in with a bead.
I'll get some pics as soon as I can.
ser # 5092xx

Hello All.

Just aquired a 99F in 308 Win...and was wondering if anyone could help me with the date of manufacture? The serial # is in the A180XXX range. I know it's not as old as some of the 99's that some of you lucky few have, but I am curious how old it is nonetheless.

It'll be a shooter, very excited about it. I'm a novice when it comes to rifles, this is the second rifle that I personally own. It should be a great deer hunting rifle for the MN northwoods.

Post you question in a new topic and you will get more info , and faster. I hunt near hibbing with a 308F.

Grogel - good luck for the rest of the season. Success has been low to moderate in the Bemidji area...with few deer seen by us.

I have yet to fire my 99F at a deer, but am very excited to do so!

Add a 1895 to the Pack.

I am in posession of my wife's great grandmothers 1926 savage 99 in 30-30. I believe that is the year posted when I asked about it a few months ago. The Great Grandma, Grandma and mother in law have killed over a dozen deer with this gun. I packed it several years ago on a scouting trip and fired 2 quick shots at a distant coyote, probably aiming too high.

As a bolt action guy I was very impressed how fast I got the second shot off.

Allen

Add 3 more to the count 1899A in 30-30,99F in .308 and 99R in .250 Savage.

Here is another original for your tally. It's an EG in 300sav. It's for sale on the free classified forum if anyone wants it. I have one more that has sling mounts added, other than that it's original, but that ones not for sale. Sure hope there's a lot more out there that didn't get all messed with. Good luck!

[font:Comic Sans MS][/font][size:14pt][/size][color:#000099][/color][b][/b]First off I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!
I just recently aqquired my first (and not the last) 99. As a fan of lever guns I have been remiss in not having at least one in my collection so I am now making up for my transgressions and ask forgivness from all.
It is a F model .300 ser#7660XX with a fold down rear sight, Weaver tip off mounts and a 3x9 Bushnell Sportview. Some of the blueing is missing under the receiver but that just add character to it. I was wondering if anyone can give me an idea as to when it was made. I'm guessing around '56-'58. That would make it about as old as me ('57).
With any luck I will be using it next year on Black bear in Alaska or at the very least Muley's in Utah/Colorado or Boar in CA.
I would also like to add, KIDMOE great looking gun. I'll post photos of mine once I figure out how to add pictures.

My first 99

I have a 22 hp passed down from my great grandpappy its a littebeat up great on coyotes i do all my own reloadin for it

go to www.savage99.com the look up dates of manufacture should help u out

Add another T in 250-3000

1- 1953 EG 300 Savage

How about an 1899 250-3000.

I just joined the forum a few days ago so go ahead and add 15 to the score. These are mostly perch bellied 250-3000's, octagon and 1/2 round 303's, 300 Savage E's and a couple of 22 hp's.

2 here. 1957 308f, and an unmolested 1940 300eg.

Purchased a 99E in 300 savage in 1965 when I was 14 years old. I still have it along with a 99E in 308 and a 1952 99R in 300 Savage in real nice shape...

got 2 here

Flintman1...need more info... model and caliber??

I have an 1899 22HP made in 1913 that has been handed down in the family since it was brand new. Also have a 99 243 I bought new in the early 60's. Would like to find a set of dies for the 22HP.

Welcome to the forum! Having that family 1899H in the family for this long is very cool.

The dies aren't cheap, but a reseller can probably knock quite a bit off the price if they have them in stock.

Add my 1953 EG in 300

Steve S

add one more, maybe; my father-in-law's old deer rifle; the best, er um, the second best thing he ever gave me; the only modification I can see is the butt plate having been removed and a recoil pad put on, don't know if that knocks this one off the list or not.

I found the serial # 738xxx, but not sure of the model letter, from the characteristics table on savage99.com it could be anyone of several. It has a: Pistol grip butt stock w/ checkering, schnoble tip forearm w/ checkering, metal Bead in raised ramp front site, a 24" barrel and .300 cartridges. Just above where the lever pivots there is what looks like a "C" but that doesn't seem to match up with the characteristics; Where do I look for the model letter?

unfortunately the butt plate has been removed and a recoil pad added so I can't look there. I do know its' a fine and beautiful piece of machinery. I've never hunted with it but have "removed" several stumps.

Welcome to the forum! There isn't a model letter, but there was only one model made with a schnabel at the time yours was made. It's a model 99EG, probably made in 1954. I'm guessing it's also drilled and tapped for a scope, with the Savage 99 on the front top of the receiver stamped to the side?

Very nice rifle, keep hold of that one. I hunt with a 99EG in 300, and they are a great deer rifle.

I definitely will hang onto it. '54 was the year I was born! My wife found my father-in-law's cleaning kit. The original butt plate was in there! The stock was cut flush to put the recoil pad on, so I'm on the look out for a pistol grip stock w/checkering. If any one has an idea where to find one please let me know. - thanks.

I have two, and EG in .250-3000, and a later model in .300

I have my first and I am impressed. A 1950 EG in 300 Savage and I intend to have more.

With modern CNC machining, I'm surprised that someone has not re-introduced the '99 again. I can think of a number of calibers that would be successful.

CNC machining would drastically reduce the manufacturing costs for a quality rifle.

I have a 1950 99RX in .300 Savage that I got from my grandfather when I first started hunting in Northern WI.

Hey gang. Brand new to the forum. Looking at 673 Remington 300 SA SM and decided to cruise for my old favorite 99 and here I am.

I have a 99F in .308 my Dad bought in the mid/late '60s used but as new for $75. Yikes! Had it on the 4-wheeler last deer season here in N. NV and EVERYONE I ran across asked if it was a .300 Savage? Nope, .308. Sweet!

Anyway, it's still in great shape. I put a scope on it for one of Dad's birthdays and I think he was upset but wouldn't say. 4-year WWII New Guinea combat infantry vet didn't need no stinkin' scope. I just took it off last year (Dad's been gone since '96) and went back to the original iron sights. It's still one of the most accurate rifles I've ever shot.

Only looking at a 300 or such for a bit longer range for elk here in the open country of Nevada. The old 99 has killed plenty of Montana elk and Muleys back in the day and a cow elk two years ago here in Nevada as well as a 4x4 NV muley a few years back.

S/N: 1053xxx Model 99 F

I'll check back in and for sure learn something. All I know is I still love this rifle and will pass it down to grandkids.

Gary

Picked up two more recently.....

A 99 EG in 300 Savage sn#579976 (1950)

A 99 EG in 250-3000 (My first 250-3000) sn#599654 (1951)
It's in excellent shape and I Love this rifle.

Now I'm broke....

Welcome to the forum, guys!

jlars, there was no model RX, though there was an R and an RS made in 1950.

XTDUTY, nice old 99F you have there. Should date to 1962. The 300 Savage doesn't have the range that the 308 does, it's a bit less powerful.

Here it is:

The stock end and butt plate have the same RX after the serial #

Does the X stand for the maker??
It's a sweet shooting gun and has taken it's share of deer and bear.

RX in this case is just an inspection stamp code.. deciphering most 99 models isn't near as easy as reading the model stamp off of the gun.

In 1950 the only Savage 99 with the schnabel forearm was the 99EG, so that's a model 99EG. Looks like a great hunting rig with the sling studs and scope d&t added on.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm learning alot from this site.
I came acrossed this in an old magizine that help some out.

If you're interested, pick up a copy of Murray's book "The Ninety-Nine". Look in the "Misc. Good Info" thread about ordering a copy. It's the best resource out there.

As an example in your list above, the 99T is NOT a featherweight. I guarantee it, I've lugged one around.

My "T" in .303 is as light as bird bones... Murray's also lists it as a Featherweight, and I agree. Where is Joe when you need him...!!!

Some of the reasons for halting production of these very fine rifles are themselves, obsolete. Even with CNC machining I would tend to think costs would still be prohibitive but investment castings are the order of the day. They are VERY accurate and would require very little machining and finishing. Consider what Pedersoli has done with investment castings and it is clear that Savage could bring out ONE model receiver in high strength material for a bunch of calibers. When it comes to the rotary mag they could use a die casting of aluminum/zinc or brass investment casting to cover a few or several calibers.

Come on Savage get with it. It's time for a new model 99.

Mc

can add another 34 1899 and 22 99's

I have a 300 savage 99J. What does the J signify? Anybody???
Date Manufactured???
How many J models produced by Savage??
Looking for some answers!
Thanks.

A gunsmith friend of me, in center of France, send me that picture of an 99 in 250-3000 n� 549771, it's belong to a customer who hunt with it for long time. My friend cleaned up the wood, changed (to customer request) the old and broken recoil pad for a soft one, cleaned and took care of the mecanical. The scope mounted a bit high but the owner is used to.
Mine is a 300 Savage, stays in Quebec where i lived some years, so can use it when go there without paying import taxes or having troubles at the airports

I'm the new guy looking through all of this old stuff. A lot of great answers and ideas. But you have to look at it from a Savage corporate perspective. If they came out with a new 99 (and I've heard the engineers are considering it) they would have to sell guns... a lot of guns to make it work financially. I'm with you guys on the nostalgia of the old calibers, but how may people are going to by a new 99 in 25-35 or 32-40? Us 50 guys maybe...that is about it. If there ever is a new 99 it's going to be 223, 243, 7mm-08, 308 and some if not all of the WSM's. Yeah, Ho hum, I know. But, that is our reality. The best we could hope for is a yearly "classic" model, much like Remington did all of those years. Then we could get some of the more classic calibers we are most familiar with. Randy

I never knew savages were so popular. I thought it was just another gun lol. I have an unaltered 300 savage im pretty sure. I'll post a picture..

nice gun, want to sell it?

I'm pretty sure that if I sold this gun, my uncle would torture me before killing me. But how much would you offer. I just want to know how much its worth. I have never really checked up on it.

That's a 1950's 99R, fairly common in 300 Savage. Known for being heavy, but with a good rep for being very accurate. Nice setup and very nice condition. You could probably watch gunbroker and see how much similar ones sell for. Being that it's a 300 Savage it's not going to make anybody rich. But since it was your uncle's, keep the thing in the family and pass it along.

Welcome to the Campfire!

If you don't want to sell it then I wouldn't offer you anything for it.

How much I would pay for it and what it's worth are 2 different questions. LOL

What do we have here boys? (somebody will know) Looks like either an R or a T to me, but I'm the new kid.

Got a serial #?, any cracks in the wood, especially at the tang? Looks pretty sharp from here.

It has a few scratches here and there. Nice gun and yes, VERY ACCURATE! Serial number is still on it.

Hey guys, lets move this to a new post.

P.S. It's an "R"...


Mike...

Fine it will be called The 99 Post!

I got questions.

I just picked up my first 99, it's a RS in .300 from 37-38(roughly)
It's been D&T'ed has the bluing worn off the reciever from use but is in excellent condition otherwise.

Came with a Parker Hale rear tang that needs a dish.

Has some nice dark wood with a nice pattern to it.

That baby is accurate

Mark

I just inherited one: SN 164689. I think its an early 250/3000. Still trying to find info on it.

Welcome to the forum! If it's a 250-3000, then the model is a Savage 1899 250-3000, probably made in 1914. Only 250 made in that serial range. Very nice model to have, though I'm sorry you acquired it as you did.

I have seven 99's:
2007
T .30-30 1922?
EG .30-30 1937 - 1938
EG .30-30 1937 - 1938

2009
EG .250 Savage 1936 - 1939

I have a Savage 99 EG .22 HP, 1935

ADK

Really? Any chance you could start another thread with some pictures?

yeah, I'd like to see that as well...

Well, chiming in with a 1937 in 300 that was my wife's grandma's gun. It wears a curly maple stock that grandpa made that is very attractive. Of course, to the purist, the stock probably ruins the value....but it is a family heirloom so the stock has even more sentimental value!
I've got to get up to speed on these things. They are pretty dang neat!

I have a Savage 1895 .308 Anniversary model nearly N.I.B. Are these guns still wanted by hunters or collectors? I am looking to sell it but have not found interested buyers

Still not a lot of interest in them. Can find ones for sale for $900 and higher that haven't sold in a while.

unless its still new in the box they don't move very quickly and even still need to be priced right.

Hello!
My name is Jeremy and I am a Savage-aholic.

I acquired my first Savage and will take possession soon.
Perhaps someone might have a bit more info about this one.
It is a beautiful rifle and all original from what I can tell.
( I will post pix when I can....)
Glad I found this spot to talk Savage. A little info.........

SN:893XX puts it somewhere between 1908/1909 via Savage99.com
Barrel stamped:Savage Model 1899 .30-30 and Hi-Pressure Steel.
20" barrel,Straight grip, Steel Shotgun Butt plate, ("serrated"/wavy,no logo or other markings) Schnobel Tip.
No checkering or other customizations.Dovetail front and ramped rear sights.NOT D&T'ed. From what I can tell this might be a transition model, hence no other designation as to "model" of rifle(i.e. A,B,C,H,). A gunsmith checked this out for me and said it was a safe shooter with 70-75% receiver & barrel blue intact. Not a "collector" but Used and not abused.
Any feed back appreciated. Oh...BTW thank you!!!!

Welcome to the forum! A 20" barrel would make it either an 1899F saddle ring carbine, or an 1899H with steel buttplate option rather than the standard hard rubber buttplate. The 1899F will have a ring on the left side of the receiver -- or maybe just a couple of holes where the ring used to be.

PS: 1908..

Calhoun

Thank you much for narrowing down my suspicions. It is most definitely NOT a 1899F s.r.c....no holes for ring attachment. I suppose the next step would be to get a letter from that Savage historian fellow. Thanx again.

What I don't get it with investment castings and CAD machinery, no reason why a 99 could not be made today. 22-250, 260, 7,mm08, 308,339 Fed and 358 WRA.

Oldman1942, Savage just looked into it. Apparently they couldn't get the entry price range down to a point where they thought it would be marketable.

They are nuts. With decent 300 Savage EGs bringing $700 and nobody making a modern lever gun, except that Browning abortion, I'll bet they could sell em' for a grand easy.
Hell, build them in Turkey at least then they would be the first standard grade Savages with nice wood!

Oldman1942, I am no expert at anything, but I see a similarity between where we are now and where folks were in 1919. Boys coming home from war in 1918-1919 who'd never owned a rifle all of a sudden wanted a gun like they learned to shoot in the Army "over there", and bolt rifles took off like a rocket. Now the boys coming home want an AR-15. In proportion, I think there are fewer and fewer of us that appreciate walnut and finely blued steel. Also, there are a lot of 99's out there for those of us that want them. I am not arguing that you and I would not love to have a brand new Savage 99 built like the old days. However, I think if Savage had a market case, they'd be making them. I also don't think the 99 is a particularly easy design to produce cheaply. Of course, I've been wrong before, and will be in the future. God Bless and best wishes, Marc

Ive been preaching the same thing for several years. I know Savage wil have capital costs, but I beleive the market would support adequate production to amortize the costs (if it is of good quality).

The capital costs should not be too high as the design is complete and the major costs relate to digitizing the specs, but it is do-able!

Hello, I'm new here, and a new (finally) 99 owner. I've had my eye on this one for a few years and when she became available I jumped! I'm guessing it's a 99A, s/n 275XXX puts her 1918-1925 (?), chambered in 30-30, Savage 1899 Model is stamped in the front receiver ring. Any comments and opinions would be appreciated, as there is a wealth of expertise to be had here.
Thanks!

trying again to add a pic

Bob99 give us more info barrel length straight ,tapered ,type front site ,rear site ,butt plate crecent orslight curve much eiser to identify....welcome to campfire,,norm

Thanks Norm, barrel measures 26" to the bolt face, round and tapered. The front sight is a white metal blade in a dovetail.
Rear sight is marked Savage Arms Corp Utica NY Pat Pend. The barrel has 5 patent numbers, the last being June 1 1909.
The receiver is marked Savage 1899 Model. S/N 275998. It has a crescent butt plate. It shows a few dings and normal handling wear, but it's totally unmolested otherwise. Never crossed paths with Bubba (or 'Tater)! I would eventually like to find a set of Stith mounts and a Lyman Alaskan to compliment it, but I'll have to save my pennies for that. BTW, I paid $280 for the 99

BOB you should be in jail you stold that one ,that is one heck of a deal in my books///// .ser no manufactured 1924 baller markings match .book says they stopped that mod in 27.check butt plate should be savage quality trade mark logo at bottom.if there are small dents in stock you should be able to take them out with steam,book says finish was varnish...nice gun nice find enjoy ..

Thanks Norm, I know, I know! I stole it But I also relieved an idiot of the resposibility of being it's custodian he lost it in pawn . BTW it came in a Eubanks Leather scabbard. I'm still looking to clarify the exact model however. My best guess so far is a transitional 99B due to the 26" barrel and the 'SAVAGE 1899 MODEL' on the receiver. Anybody got an opinion? Anyway, guess I might be afflicted now, thinking of haulin' my black rifle off to the gun show next weekend as potential trade bait, just in case there are any nice 99's to be had. A 250-3000 T/D?....hmm, I know I'd prefer older to newer, kinda like staight grip stocks. No pressed checkering, no detachable clips...

Don't use the word transitional... always confuses things.

That serial number should put it into mid 1925, and according to Murray's it is an 1899A. The 1899A was made up through 1927.

Now... why all of the other 1899 models transitioned into the 99 series around 1921 but the 1899A stayed rather than become the 99A is something I've never seen addressed. But that's what it is. Nice gun.

Thank you sir, it's the 26" barrel and the location of the 'SAVAGE 1899 MODEL' on the front receiver ring, as opposed to being stamped on the barrel that's confusing me. I was using the chart at savage99.com for reference.
To quote;

Info on 1899's*:
Note: "Model 1899" marked on barrel.
and;

Info on early 99's*:
Note: "Model 99" marked on the top of the frame ring. Some "transition" models have "Model 1899" marked on the top of the frame ring.

I also noted this; *Keep in mind, never say always!

I'm kind of new to 1899s' & 99s' and trying to educate myself (with some degree of accuracy).
Thanks again sir.

No problem.. And I'd throw away those quotes you just brought up. They are misleading.. Grab a copy of Murrays (find info on ordering it from the "Misc Good Info" thread), and pay attentions to barrel length, stock style and serial number. Will get you through most models. But it's still only a guide.. come here for the most accurate info.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks, I knew I'd found the right place. And a copy of Murrays' book is next.

you are right Calhoun i missed ser no by 5000 must be getting old . bob the 1899 B is octagonal barrel. Murrars book does not always tell you when some of parts changed or could be ordered sites being one of the biggies .
Calhoun.how often do you findbarrel markings out by 1 or2 styles according to ser no???norm.

Right Norm, I was thinking 99B, not 1899B, based on the ID chart at savage99.com

Hey guys... Time to start a new post...!!! This post is for posting new rifles, not for discussion. Great info but lets get it on the forums...!!!


Thanks, Mike...

I think this thread has probably outlived it's initial interest.. might be time to unsticky it.

OK Fine! Blame it on the new guy, with the new (all original 1899A) rifle. This forum is named "
Savage 1895/99 Orginals still in Existence In North America". Where do I go?
you guys were discussing CNC and investment castings, my bad?!

Not your bad.. this thread has wandered everywhere. Started out as a way to get a rough idea of how many 99's were represented by the folks here. Now it's main function is as a welcome thread..

But, to be true to protocol.. a new discussion on a topic should have a new thread.

What should I do with my 99E? It is all original to the best of my knowledge. Never restocked or blued. Has original mounts and sights although the rear is missing the elevator. I would say the bluing is at worst 95%. Normal wear. Stock has no danage other than wear.

Took it out to the range today, and shot it with open sights and it did pretty good with factory loads.

Would anyone touch this to "fix it up" or leave it as is.

Touch up a 95% rifle? Never. Put a scope on it and hunt. Not a lot of collector interest in 99E's, but they usually shoot just fine.

I have a Model 99G Takedown, in 300 Savage. Made in 1937. Not drilled for scope or sling. All original with matching numbers on forearm. Also have a .410 barrel for it purchased later. trying to get another forearm for it so I don't screw up the original.

Welcome.
Post some Pics.

Hi,
Dad bought a .303 Savage Savage Model 99 with 6 or 8 boxes of Soft
point ammo in plain boxes in 1941. Bought direct from Savage, I believe.
How would I determine the value of this rifle? It has not had 100 rounds through it, has not been modified or tapped and has a light scratch on the reciever.

Could anyone provide the ballistics (trajectory data) for common bullet
weights of the .303 Savage?

Would someone care to guess the bullet weight of the factory Soft Point
ammo? It is stamped .303 Sav S A Corp.

interesting i believe sav was still using coloured boxes then ,book says should be red and yellow ,mabey some were plain calhoun would probably know.. prob 180 grain made by rem for sav.
book says 190 gr is 2000 ft per sec at mus
180 is 2120 ,,,,,i am not ballistics guy ..
what is ser no barrel address discription of gun wood c
heckering pistol grip others or picture if youcan...
welcome to forum. guys here are really helpful..norm

Don't know much about vintage ammo.. but if it dates from 1941, I wouldn't shoot it. Worth something.

If you want ballistics for modern bullets and powder, let me know what you're shooting and I can provide a ballistics chart. Most of us reload 303 Savage ammo up to 30-30 standards using 30-30 bullets, and so the ballistics will be right on with the 30-30. Can't find good hunting 190gr jacketed bullets any more, but the 170gr work very well.

Savage Packed all Ammo for a While in Plain Garyish Boxes and then Transferred them to the Plant where Finial Packed,,On those Boxes ther may or May not Be Some Number in Ink Stamped either on the bottom or side.

As far as Value,,Photo's Would Help,,But the gun sounds as if it is a Family heirloom,,,so I will say Priceless for that Fact.

I have a Model 99 Takedown that based on serial number info was made in 1927. Great shooter and great looking rifle too. Here are a few pics.









When I first got it the action was sticking and would not allow the bolt to RTB. Had a gunsmith go over it and nice and smooth now. Only thing wrong that is visible is that the little tab or handle that is used in the takedown notch is missing. I have looked for a replacement to no avail.

Glad to have found this site.

Welcome to the campfire! Be warned though, listen too long here and 1 Savage 99 won't be enough.

Was wondering what the count was up to...?

ya can add my 99 in 300 Savage, We "think" it's an 1927 F TD.
and my brother has an F, also 300 Savage.

Scott

OK, at long last formal introductions are in order. I now have in my possession my grandad's 1899 Savage .303. Has been in my mom's closet for decades now.

20 inch round barrel
Carbine butt plate
16 inch straight stock with straight schnoble
Blade in dovetail on raised ramp
Stamped "Savage 1899 Model"
Serial number corresponds to 1924 build date

So it would seem its a 99H? "transitional" since it is stamped "Savage 1899 Model"?

Here are all the pics. Its funny, the closeups and flash make it look horrible, and I guess maybe it is. In general it appears to be in good shape. I will get it cleaned up by someone who knows what they are doing.

Any comments/thoughts are welcome. Much larger/higher res photos available if necessary. Great forum, thanks.

Don't worry about the 1899 stamp and forget the transitional, it's a model 99H. The 1899's stopped around 1921, the 1899 stamp was on there for quite a while and has nothing to do with the model name. Once that's cleaned up, take it out to the range. You're going to like the way it handles.

Calhoun - Yes thanks after doing a bit more reading last night I came to similar conclusions. So now I need a good gunsmith in Central CT.....

You can use 0000 steel wool and gun oil to clean it up. Or Flitz with a very fine cloth will clean it up fast.

Use white Scoth Brite with oil (if you can find it). Last time I got some, I bought a box at an industrial supply store.

Hey folks,
1st post. I just got this 99 from my brother Mon. Been in th family for ever,it was great-granddads,granddad hunted with it till '55 when he bought a Marlin and put this one up. Shot it some today as we've pulled it out and done every few years since I was old enough to shoot it. My little brother had for th last ten years or so and I asked if I could hunt with it this year and he brought it down, he hunts mostly with a camera these days, told me to take custody,I did. Got a lot of questions bout loadin for it but I'll start another thread bout that. If that 'savage99' site is right it was made in 1911, it looks old but it's been care for to some degree for th last 30 years that I know of.
So here is one more. In 30-30.
I didnt read th whole 52 pages so....is there really a count?
Anyway, here's some pics....if I can do this right.

Matt

Matt,

The count died a while back... the gun is an 1899B... looks nice! Might be a reblue but that won't effect the value to YOU as it was great granddad's gun. Front and rear sight are correct! Glad to see it stay in the family!

nice family heirloome, showes some history if ser no is between 110000 and119000 then its 1911. if you have time i encourage you to read all 52 pages,lots of info weather you start collecting or not ..welcome to the forum ,lots of help here ..norm

It looks like I didnt load those pics, took me an hour or more last night to post pics.
Thanks for th welcome and info. I'm on dial up and everything runs slow 'round here, mostly me tho.
So, I did a search for handloading info and just havent been able to narrow anything down. I load for two Marlins and a Contender in 30-30, so I have lotsa stuff, should I start another thread or does someone know of one that's already out there. Sure could use some advice on that but dont want to ask one of those 'not that again' questions, been down that muddy road before and dont want to go there again.
Thanks again,
Matt

It's a 30-30, so it'll take any factory or normally loaded 30-30 round. I don't know of any extra special loads for it, but mine have done well with 170gr bullets and H4895.

i just picked up an 1899 in 250/3000 serial #192357. traded my 99E savage in 300 Savage for it.I've been lookin for a 250 for years , its original except for a redding peep sight and in nice shape

Greetings!

I've got only one 1899 now: .22 Imp, Perch-Belly, former Take-Down. A second year production for that chambering, I believe. The bore is dark, and does terrible things to jacketed bullets...
Dad has a pretty little Take-Down in .250.

M.T.Marfield

Welcome Matt what do you mean former take down?
somebody weld it ?what is ser no have you got pics?
Norm

Greetings, norm99!

Well, frankly, mine simply will not take down: forend comes off, but barrel will NOT twist off; Dad & I think that it was 'fixed' to the receiver, but we don't know how.
Sorry, I'm not completely in the Digital Age... No Photos. SN #1265xx, "22 H.P.". It's gone to grey, and has a Redfield Peep on the Tang. I had hopes of this being my "Jack/Coyote" Walking Rifle, but the bore is pretty bad, and it does nasty things to the Hornady 70 gr. bullets that I use. I'd really like to find a proper sleeve, and have it relined & chambered.
Perhaps someday...!

Be Well!

M.T.Marfield

slow down Matthew... start a new post...


first off... make sure the action is open before taking down.... after that...if it won't take down... try using a large brass punch wrapped in electrical tape tapping against the cut out on the barrel bottom...

picture of subject ares would REALLY help us tell you if its a standard takedown.... please do so...

if you have troble posting pics here try my e mail much eaiser..
[email protected]
might be able to find another barrel or another gun .u US or canada?

Greetings, norm99!

I don't have a Digital Camera at this moment... Sorry for being long winded, lovemy99; I'll attempt your suggestion, and post the results.

Be Well!

M.T.Marfield

Thats a LONG time to be looking1

OOps thought you said you been looking for 250 years!

Do not know if I am doing this correct. First time on site and do not know how I got here. Was looking up information on some of my Dad's older guns. Trying to find a value and a good home.Started by looking up H & R Arms, as this is on a 16 guage that I was told was hand made, but that seems unlikely. Serial no.A49730. Could not find adate of manufacture. Dad born 1922 died 1997.Assume 1930's as he had it before his Savage, still here and in a case.It's a 99 Serial no.402997.The story goes on that one that Grandpa new and hunted with some members of the Savage Family. He lived in Galeton PA. As a 19th birthday present to Dad they help him get this, as most of their work was going over seas for the war.Have another 16 guage with Eastern Arms on it,and what I believe was his first gun, 22 single shot bolt action .22 that say Ranger on it.They (sons) were not allowed anything but sinlgle shot,You missed the animal won,you wounded you learn to shot straighter as you could be in the woods for a long time to find that animal and make it right.How to I go about finding a good home? As I do not know how I got here my personnal email :[email protected] Make sure you are behind the stock and what is out in front before you use the trigger!

Sent you an email

welcome carguy ,i can help with the 99 but probably not with shotguns won't be hard to dispose of 99 on here .give us a little more discription as it can be any of 4 or so models ..needpics if possible ,but caliber shape of forearm shape of butt ,pistol grip ,checkering length of barrel type of sights scope ,wrighting on barrel?? norm

Welcome to the forum! Might want to start up a new thread about this.

Hi all,
I'm new to this site and am very happy I found it. I was gifted a savage model99 by my father-in-law, which belonged to his father, it has an almost straight butt stock ( end), sm. scope, front forearm slopes up with a small curve on the end. it has no letter designation on it but serial # 549XXX. caliber is 250-3000. I don't care about the value because it will be passed down to my son one day. I was just wondering an approximate date of manufacture or any other info which may be interesting.
Thank you,
Mike @ henderson fabrications

Welcome to the forum! Your rifle is a Savage 99EG, made in 1950. Great rifle, and the 250-3000 is a great deer cartridge.

Stick around, and while you're putting up with us, be sure to check out www.savagela.org. The pictures and hunting pictures sections are good ones to browse through.

Just got a model 99A in .300, if I read the descriptions right. Dad had it in his safe for many years. Shot five shells through it on the ranch, straight as an arrow at 50 yrds. Will try and get the pics up soon

Jestyr welcome to the forum .post pics and first 4 no of ser no xout last no we'll tell you what it is and when made ,.enjoy norm

Hi, I had no idea Savages had such a stong following to warrant an entire forum thread. Anyway, my dad has a Savage that he shot his first elk with which would have been around 1954-1957ish. He thinks it is a 99e, I was wondering if the experts might have some additional thoughts. He put a new recoil pad on it, and a more recent scope so it has been modified a bit.

The pics are a little crappy, I'll see if I can get him to get me some better ones.

Welcome to the forum! That's a model 99EG made in about 1950 if I'm reading the serial number correctly. The scope, sling studs and recoil pad aren't original, unfortunately. Still makes a great hunting rifle, I use an identical one from 1945.

Just wondered if anyone might have a safety slide for one of these old girls? Mine has the square hole in the end of it, and there was something in that hole, but I don't know what. It was a pretty well trashed out, rusted up 300, that was never fired, but left to rust! The bore is perfect, I have the frame nearly restored, but the barrel on the outside is really pitted badly. The stock & forend are 100% perfect. What a shame! I'd love to find a barrel also. Can you change barrels in these guns, say my 300 to a 250-3000 without jumping through a lot of hoops? thanks, & glad to be part of the forum, Jake

ANOTHER Savage forum to join and enjoy...

I can account for (3) Model 99's
I have a 1940 model EG
My Grandfathers 99, and Mother's 99 are locked in Dad's cabinet. I'll have to get specifics the next time I'm home..
All are in .300




I know this thread is old.. but what # are we up to now?

Welcome:

Nice gun. Are those white spacers under the grip cap and behind the butt plate? What do you know about that?

Randy

Welcome Jake and Baker 6x6

Jake,

Start a new thread.

Baker, take those terrible white line pads off that gun and throw them out... as for the number... we lost track and stopped adding long long ago... it has sort of defaulted to a newbie post location but it really should probably get "un-stickied" as we are starting to get quite a few stickies...

It must have been a local-thing (NW Pa.)... I know my grandpa's gun has them, not sure about my mom's..




Never... That's how I bought the gun... they will stay till I'm dead... LOL!

Ughhh.

A pretty girl with ugly jewlrey

My father recently gave me his 99 that was bought new by his father. It is a saddle ring carbine in 303 cal. Ser#121xxx. I believe it is in the 1910-1915 vintage. I first deer hunted with it nearly 50 years ago. The saddle is still there but the ring was removed long ago. The wear mark from the ring is there. My guess is my grandfather cut it off to reduce noise.

TJW welcome to the forum. I believe Steds and rings are available if you want to put it back to original.sounds like you'have a good one there.manufactured in 1912.have you still got ammo for it? I think norma is making 303 savage brass now.
NORM

Thanks, yes I have ammo. 2 rather old boxes that I will save and a couple of newer boxs. I also believe that Buffalo Arms has brass, they have most everything else. I also have the Marbles peep sight that my grandfather had on it that my dad removed but saved. The original sights are still intact. Very interesting forum with knowledgable people glad I found it.

enjoy it won't be your last savage their habbit forming

I have had a number of Savage 1899s and 99's over the years. I still have several but one in particular is special. I bought it as a shot out takedown made in 1917. It was rebarreled by Henry Cheatham and along the way we began to discuss building it as an interchageable barrel gun in 250 Savage, 22-250 and 300 Savage. Henry did the work and it came out with scopes and a mount that is matched to each caliber and load.
Henry built the mount to use the stock holes and contours of the receiver to spread the recoil instead of drilling new holes in a slim receiver. He said he would never build another one.
He built one for himself as he built mine and after his death it was sold for over $5000. Only my kids will have to worry about what mine will bring.
I'll try to pull it out of the safe and take some pics. I got the idea from an article in an old issue of "Rifle". I don't use mine for a truck gun like the author did.

The 22-250 on a 1917 receiver/bolt worries me, since the pressures from a 22-250 are something like 25% higher than a 250 Savage. Would LOVE to see pictures though.

Ten of my 13 99's...In order left to right..

1. 1919 Model A take-down 303
2. 1920 Model A short-barrel 303
3. 1920 Model F take-down 22 high power
4. 1937 Model EG 30-30
5. 1950 Model EG 300 Savage
6. 1951 Model EG 250-3000
7. 1952 Model R 300 Savage
8. 1959 Model F 300 Savage
9. 1965 Model E carbine 300 Savage
10. 1976 Model E 308 Win.

How about a big bore, say a .444 marlin?

whatever a marlin is it don't belong on this site

I have 10, 303,32-40,30-30,2-22hp ,25-35,250-3000,308,243,300.Hunt with all of them ,plan on taking a deer with each caliber.Tom

welcome to the forum Sooner ,,looks like you already have the bug.

Thanks Norm ,yeah I have the bug pretty bad .The 99's are keeping me busy and now I have the sporter bug.Just bought 3, 2 in 22 cal and one in 32-20. If I keep this up I will have to find another job .Tom

go plow some snow,

Believe it or not we have had quite a bit of snow down our way ,pretty unsual for southern Oklahoma .

thats why i suggested you plow some for gun money..
if you want to talk we should open another thread ,as this one is primarily for up dates on guns ..and no we lost count but its still a good thread.
norm

My Father passed away recently and left me, along with 6 otherlong guns, a Savage 250-3000 s/n 58444X and has a Redfield 3x9 Variable scope. It is in great condition. I know nothing of this gun, but this forum has been very informative.

The "oval" has "23B" on the front of the lever and the model is 250-3000 SP.

Can anyone enlighten me on this rifle? It does not fit in with my calibers of ammunition currently keep and wonder if I should "ammo up" or sell it as he left me so many weapons I do not have room. Also, I am mainly into hand guns and tactical shot guns. Thanx..

Best to post this in a new thread

Finally getting around to cleaning and dialing in my grandmother's 250-3000 and start doing some killing with it. Don't know the serial # offhand, but it's an old gun and in decent shape. Needs some new glass and she'll be good to go. Can't wait to get her out this fall in memory of my grandmother.

welcome to the forum you should start anoyher thread and post ser no xxout last 2 numbers opost pics or other info barrel length ,type of forearm,
Norm

I read above, best to start a new tread. Now what a hoot, this has gone in so many directions so many times it has become it's own forum. What's are Orginals? Is that the stuff you would put in paunch stew?

It would be a pretty a cool thread to see unaltered 95 and 1899s and stick to that. I'm seeing at least 70% none original with a lot of hijacking.

First post- line two-How many untouched-modified-altered are around? This went a little wack and no one seemed to care. The first poster is counting the goods that were not called for. Maybe time has come to start a real count? Or as read on this thread, smacks of gun controll. One way or the next the thread has come to a meaningless end. I take that back a bit, The pictures and bs were a bit o fun. A bit of stick to the subject would have went a long way.

Topic went way off quite a while ago. We discussed removing it, but left it since it works pretty well as a welcome thread for newbies to post in. Starting a new thread can be a bit scary, especially if there's a couple trolls currently posting in the forum.

Good point. Put me in for one Savage 99 EG in 300 Cal, non factory d&t, cut stock, butt pad added and a remington pump .22 for pleasure. I will swear in a court of law that is all I own. It still would be a pleasure to see nothing but unaltered in one spot.

I got a 250-3000 in mint condition and love it

hello, im looking for some help identifying the year my 250-3000 was made and an aprox. value. could anyone help me

Case in point.

How about the size of the two young bucks on Pawn Stars. Heart attack city.

I don't know anything about these guns. My grandfather left me 2 99E's in 308. All I know is my dad said "DON'T SELL THESE GUNS!" So they must be worth some money, that's all I know. Grandpop also left me another gun, a model 88 in 308. I forget who the manufacturer is though. Can't sell that one either according to Pops.

model 88 is a winchester could be rifle or carbine,,
model E's in 308 very common ,they were the economy rifle of there day in the savage line,

probably doesn't want you to sell them because their family,
not a lot of value there ..
Do you hunt

The 88 is a Winchester.

The rifles may not be worth much monetarily, but invaluable sentimentally.

Hopefully you can understand that.

screw that, just bring back a very nice 1954 era 300 and 250 savage chamberings, Nothing else is needed, really, if those two wont reach, you need to get closer, not bigger.

I know the count ended awhile back but I can't resist. Caught the bug so to speak. 5 total and counting for me.

1899 .303-A
1899 .303-B
1899 30-30-A take down with 30" barrel
99 .300-EG
99 .250-3000-EG

Would love an early RS in .300 and a RS in .358

Savman1

I would love to see pictures of your 1899A in 30-30 with a 30" barrel. Start another thread and post up the details and pictures. Don't see many with extra long barrels.

I might be selling a 300RS in the near future.

I will post pics on a new thread as soon as I can, I live in Canada so unless you know a way to get em by the border guards your RS is sadly safe from me!

too be honest, I'm not too worried about finding a buyer but interested to see your long barreled 30-30. Do you have a factory letter on it? Just start another post when you get time.

I thought I would share some photos of the two Savages my dad gave to me last year.

The first picture is of my great grandfather's 1899-A (short barrel 22", made in 1904) in a .38-55 cal. My great grandfather bought it when he was married in 1905. I plan on using this rifle for hunting season this fall.

The second is a photo of my great uncle's 99 Savage (I think it is a model E, as it has a 24" barrel and was made in 1929). I found the CIL crate when I was cleaning out the wood house.

Third picture is of my great grandfather and great uncle together (g. grandfather is in the middle, g. uncle on the left). Unfortunately I don't have any photos of them with their guns.

I also wanted to say a huge thanks to 99trix who sold me a new lever for the 1899 and answered my many questions.

Great guns and great pics, especially like that 1899 SR. Priceless guns.

Ref "Ever Wonder as to How Many Savage's Still Exist? How Many Orginal's, Untouched-Modified-Altered are around?? How Many are still In the Orginal Family From Grandpa passed the the line?" I have a model 1899, as new, 303 Savage and some old rounds for it, would sell it, or trade for ???? It is too good, rare, to hunt with...

I have one,(1) an 1899, original

anyone know how to read the dare of manufacture codes for CIL ammo? I have a few Savage 30 ies in the box. box has a code on it.

anyone know how to read the date code of manufacture codes for CIL ammo? I have a few Savage 30 calibre still in the box. box has a code on it.

I have a 99 30/30 with 25 inch barrel, standard? Date of manufacture 1918/19....

It has a regular sites and a peep site...

I know nothing more then this..

Is there a chance that if I wrote to Savage I could get a "ship to" state or invoice of some kind???

Cigar,

Look under the "misc. good info" thread... You need to send your request to John Callahan... he has the factory records. You might get a ship to shop or person and usually an exact date... probably will not get a state.

If you post pics here, you could get some good info., just start a new thread. And the barrels are measure all the way across the front receiver ring... should probably be 26"

Thanks ..

I doubt if Savage would ever entertain the idea of re-manufacturing this wonderful gun we all love so well. I think the only way something like that would ever happen is that they would have to sell the rights to someone else who would make them under the name "The Model 99 Rifle Company" or something like that. It's not impossible. Look at Henry, Ithaca and Springfield. However, it would probably take every serious Savage collector in the world to pool their resources together and start the company. I would like to see one in 7mm Remington Magnum.

Hello
New to this forum, I am trying to get some info on a model 99 savage 250-3000. I got it for a birthday present when I was 12(24 years ago) just currious what it is worth. serial number is 2652xx. any info would be much appreciated. thanks

Start a new thread with as much information about it as you can provide plus the serial. Post pics if you can. Once you do that you'll probably get more information about it than you're ready for.

I'd like to see the 99's in the new modern short magnum calibers and some of the more versatile handgun calibers like 454 Casull and 357 Maximum. A .223 would make it the very best ranch rifle ever as it really is a saddle gun unlike the autoloaders. If I may venture one more assertion, since Rossi and others are now making interchangeable rifles sets, I'd also like to see the 99 in set like the ones above accompanied by a suitable shotgun barrel. A man could be set for life with something like that...I guess that's what they had in mind when they designed it.

I have a model 99 in 308, my dad gave me. It is a great rifle. Shoots as good as I can. Really great gun, my ddad never shot it much at all.

I have 2 99s. In the picture the upper is 99TD in 250-3000 and the lower is 99F in 300 Sav.

Welcome to the Fire. Nice Rifles You Have.
Steve

I have my grandfathers 99 take down. SN/331xxx My dad had the rear sight changed after he missed a deer in the '70s I may have original rear sight someplace in the house. He asked the gunsmith to drill for a scope, thank God he told him "don't do it" I tried to attach a pic , but it's telling me file is too big. I croped it down still too big. I'll try taking a lower res pic. My grampa used to shoot the heads off partridges with it. He, my dad and I have all shot deer with it.

Welcome to the forum!

You can use the Microsoft paint program to reduce the picture size, or to crop out the parts of the picture that doesn't show the rifle. Might want to start a new thread with your picture also, might get a lot of discussion about it. If the picture is still too large, just start a new thread and ask if somebody will help you. Several of us will usually jump in and help.

Thanks, will do it.

Just picked up a 1899C (I think it's a C, half octagon / half round make in 1901 via the SR# 10.8xx maybe you guys can tell me?)
FARM FRESH. Was reported to have been found in the rafters of an out building in Northern PA. has the old style tang sight with a Beech front sight. Wood very dark oil stained had that funky black old man sludge caked on it and the thing smelled like my grand parents house from the 1960's...you know that oil furnace smell....lol really took me back. BUT the coolest thing is it has 60 kill notches in the stock. Awesome rifle! Ohhh it's in 303.
Thanks

PS I have several 1899/99's super designed rifle!

Can't say it meets all the above criteria,

99G in 22SHP, ser 225XXX. Inherited on Dads passing.

Thirty something years ago I let the gun slip, it hit butt first marring the shotgun butt and taking a chip out of the stock. Figured it was a good excuse to take her down to parts for a cleaning, got it back together except for the butt plate, front blade and wood chip. Wanted to smooth and straighten the plate and polish the bead.

Mom came through and cleaned my room. Not sure what happened to the butt plate, she said she thought the front sight was just a little piece of metal ....

Filed a front blade out of a nickel. Rear sight is a Marble flip down. Peeps gone when either Dad or the previous owner had the rifle fit for a Weaver K4 using a Redfield Jr. scope block.

Want to replace the rear stock. It's about 3 inches too short and my thumb punching me in the nose is a bit too much of a distraction.

Been thinking of having a 30-30 barrel made for a couple of decades now. 30-30 cartridge will fit the rotary, and the 30-30 is the right era so the action won't be stressed.

Yeah, she likes to push primers a little so she is effectively retired. Unless I absolutely need it.
