The Savage Model 99 is a lever action rifle made in the US. As the name implies, the design originates from 1899 and from the serial number range, this particular rifle is in 303 Savage and was made in either 1900 or 1901, so pretty early into the rifle’s 98 years of production.

I wish Savage Arms reintroduced this cool magnificent rifle.

Had one (250-3000) for 45 years, absolutely loved it. Sold it to friends for their son.

"a little bit ugly"...? A t the time it was sleek and technically revolutionary functional design. Tubers that compare a 100 plus year old rifle to today's plastic nonsense are ridiculous. Want ugly...look in the mirror...🤪

Paid $225 at a pawn shop for my 300 Savage made in the mid 1950s. Great investment for my favorite rifle. It just "fits" me perfectly and it's a real beauty. I am at a loss to understand the "ugly" remark. That 300 Savage packs a good punch. My rifle has a pistol grip which makes it easier to handle. It also has been neatly drilled and tapped for a Williams scope mount that really adds to the rifle's useability. These rifles are well loved and definitely going up in price.

Got a 1920 250-3000 take down. Works perfect still today.

I also have a 1952 99eg. Was my great grandfathers in 300 savage. Its mint. He used it to hunt moutain lions! I use it today hunting in NH. Had a custom scope mount made by BigFoot and have a nikon monarch 1-4 german reticle. My favorite rifle. Easy to carry in thick woods and just sexy

Of course they also made 99 savages chambered in 30-30.

@larslirizard6904 2 ай бұрын

They sure did. They didn't make them in that chamber at first. Because the 30-30 didn't exist at the time, Author Savage was designing the model we now know as a Savage 99.

Sweet rifle! I'm a Winchester fan and been in the market for 38-55 1892, though recently at an estate sale and opportunity of a beautiful 1903 savage 1899a in 38-55 (nib) never fired couldn't pass it up! Rare caliber and condition bluing and wood 100% for a 121 year old rifle is amazing art!

I picked one up back in October of 2023 Mine is a Savage Model 99 EG variant Manufactured in 1952 It’s somewhat rare because the rotary magazine is neither brass or blued but colored case harden Chambered in 300 savage (haven’t had trouble finding ammo several of my LGS carry it) My savage is outfitted with a Lyman flip up peep sight and a flip up rear sight I did use it for deer season this past November

You should have picked up a 300 savage because you can convert 308 brass too 300 sav easily, if you're a reloader.

@victorkrese6727 3 ай бұрын

I have three. One factory drilled and tapped chambered in .308 from the 50’s, a takedown version chambered in 250-3000 from 1920 and a later detachable magazine version that has been re-barreled and modified for .357 mag. In my opinion the pistol grip models with the hand checkering and the slimmer forend are quite handsome.

i have one in .250-3000 savage from an uncle with a scope very hard to find ammunition for it and ammunition cost a lot.

Good video.. except for the "kind of ugly"!! That brings into question your entire outlook on the world. 🙂 To be fair, that gun has a lot of wear. If you held a high condition one without heavily sanded/refinished stocks and with the original mirror bluing.. they are gorgeous guns. Every comment you mentioned about the 303 Savage and 100 yds (I'd argue 150-200 yds) is also true for the 30-30, which I think you did say. The great thing about the Savage 1899/99 is that it went on to be chambered in many more higher power cartridges - which other 30-30 rifles of the day couldn't do. 22HP, 250-3000, 300 Savage, 243 Win, 308 Win, 358 Win, 284 Win, 375 Win, 22-250.. it handled them all. Great job!

I know some in Texas that have used the 222 on texas deer

I absolutely love my 1920s era '99 in .250-3000 and the "new" one in ,308. I do have to give Spencer some serious credit for the lever design though.

I have a model 99F in .308. It's accurate and easy to carry. Recoil is a little stiff because it weighs a little over 6 pounds loaded. I installed a Lyman #57 peep sight on it. I disagree with it being ugly.

Kinda ? Really the best lever action ever in it's time!

I want one in 250-3000 and .300 Savage

I had a .308 version of the model 99. I didn't know about the round counter on the side. Great rifle, harvested both whitetail and mule deer with it. Sold it when I got orders to England. I feel really dumb about not knowing about the round counter.

Mine is from 1954 and chambered in the infamous 300 Savage. It was gifted to me by my Grandmother in 1963. I reload for it and my favorite load is the Cowboy Load using Trail Boss Powder. I don't hunt these days so shooting the Savage with light loads is a lot of fun and also cheep. I have a good amount of brass but it is still available and in a pinch, you can use 308 brass and resize it for 300 Savage.

Leupold still makes a single piece scope base that mounts to the top of the receiver. I use that with some Leupold rings to support a Zeiss 3-9. I rebarreled it to 338 Federal though.
