Savage model 99

[drhunter1]

Does anyone have or ever had one?

I’ve got one in 300. neat rifles. Many variations so get one you like. I’d like a 284 or 358 if I ever find one when I’ve got extra money

I've had one in 300 Savage, and 243, and 308. Nice rifles. Accurate and very well made.

I have in the past collected them, probably only have a dozen or so anymore. I kept the hard to get ones, 22-250's, 284, 358, 250, 375 Win., etc. Excellent rifles.

I would love to have one but finding one appears to be problematic. When I was a kid I hunted in a club with some high school buddies and one of the dads bought one at a pawnshop and brought it to camp and I remember it being so nice. I’ve kind of wanted one ever since.

Rarely available locally, they come with a few caveats, one being the dreaded tang crack. If you look on GB they are available but you need to know what you want and what to look for.

I had a Model 100 in .308.
IINM the 99 and 100 take the same box magazine.
Magazines are getting scarce and expensive so keep that in mind when looking.

284 is a great cartridge. Before it's time imo.

Yep. Got a 99E in .308.



Mine is a blind mag, no counter, cheapo model from Western Auto in about '81-'82.

Everybody oughta have one, just because...

 

[TurkeyBluff]

Got one. It’s a 99A

 

[Darien1]

I would avoid the ones with the removable box magazines. They tend to not feed right.

Nephew has one in 243, helped him sight it in years ago at the range at Charlie Elliott. He killed his first buck with it.

The model 88 Winchester lever action and the Winchester model 100 semi auto take the same magazine. It's a different magazine for the Savage model 99C.

I was mistaken.

Well I’ll keep looking, but if any of you fine folks run across someone with one in .308 or comparable caliber that wants to part with it please let me know. Or if you know somewhere I should be looking that I haven’t thought of that would be much appreciated.

Thanks a ton. I’m going to text him and see if we can do the deal.

How hard is .330 to get?

 

[bullethead]

The 330 must be a typo. The same ad farther down says 300 savage.
