Savage Model 99 Lever Action Rifle

[@jessgatt5441]

One of the first lever actions to employ the "Spitzer" bullets. And they never should have stopped making them, it is an easily fired rifle and it's absolutely accurate.

[@mr.happyfunguy3772]

I adore mine, 250-3000, a takedown that can cloverleaf- go figure! It became unprofitable according to Savage in 99, I’m grateful they let the king of lever’s go till it hit the 100 year anniversary however, that was kind. Hunt honest shoot straight

[@tberkoff]

Larry is BACK!! 10 years since his last video. However, I think this was recorded 10 years ago too. Ha.

[@Hartwig870]

Nah this was filmed recently.

[@andyprice4696]

Fill me in. Where has Larry been. Wasn’t aware he was gone but, I haven’t shopped midway in a long while.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Theres a bunch of videos in the past 4 years, like 30+

[@jnsn94]

Proof that if you do what you are passionate about in life , you'll look younger and younger as time passes

[@blackhawk65589]

Fun fact: Larry never ages, he just gets smarter and younger

[@tberkoff]

I think this was recorded 10 years ago.

[@jd8mm738]

And that's the way it is!

[@thisolesignguy2733]

A good gunsmith never dies...He just gets reborn with a new gun, that's called 'infantry' 🤣

[@Mr09260]

In S Africa one of my great mates and I Now 70 yrs old used the savage 99 in 250 /3000 as Teenagers . He still uses his Rifle today over 50 yrs later

[@keen9629]

With the Schnabel fore end it's the most stylish of rifles.

[@slaughterhound8793]

When I saw this was a new video, I about fell out of my chair!

[@birdofgrey6542]

It's not. This video is old as hell, it's a reupload

[@_starlegion]

Little did you know, Larry Potterfield spent the last 10 years unlocking the secrets to immortality.

[@ronniebray596]

I love watching Harry like others like watching Bob Ross

[@TMS5100]

"and that's the way it is" *YAY THE CATCHPRHASE IS BACK!*

[@Marcus_972]

Absolutely love the Savage 99, thanks for doing a video on this very cool firearm.

[@OzarksWildman]

Hey Larry! It’s good to see my fellow brethren from the Show Me State again.

[@Docsporseen1]

I love my '99 in .300 Savage. Incredibly smooth shooting rifle, and it gets a lot a admiring looks!

[@nexusofice9135]

I still use my Model 99 in 300 Savage for deer hunting. I love that rifle. It is a classic.

[@ditzydoo4378]

Another trip down memory lane indeed, I just had my Grandfather's early Model-99B Octagon barreled, in .25-35 Winchester out for it's annual cleaning/service. Still sports the original iron sights, no scope was ever drilled/tapped for it.

[@HG-qo9cx]

Such a beautiful and classic look.

[@justinweaver8787]

Love it so glad to see some videos again from u.

[@M--ri2ef]

Yes !!! Thank you for the videos again. I have a 99 that chambered in .300 sav. That my grandfather my father and i all killed our first deer with and an uncle even killed a Canadian moose with it .

[@donparker1823]

The model 99 in .308 was my first rifle as an adult. I never noticed the round counter. Egad! how did I miss that? Such a great gun.

[@laughingdog6010]

I have my grandpa’s M99. I love it. It’s chambered in 300 Savage.

[@georgesakellaropoulos8162]

I was given a model 99F (featherweight) for my 18th birthday. It's chambered in .308. It's accurate, especially since I put a Lyman #57 aperture sight on it, carries like a dream, and functions flawlessly. The recoil is a little stiff, but I'll go hungry before I part with it. I'm 62 now, and it's going to my younger brother one day.

[@jameswhite3531]

I Treasure my 300 Savage. It is my saddle gun with Iron sights. My father give it to me when I was 10 yrs old in 1955!! I have harvested many Deer and a number of Elk, with it through the years!! It has been, and still is a very reliable rifle!! Thank You For your Input on a Great Rifle

[@LoremIpsum1970]

Great to see Larry back! More, please.

[@michaelaskay]

I have a savage model 99E chambert in 243 The Serial number tells me US made in 1963. I love it

[@CamelSmokes23]

I've got a Savage in .22 tube fed from the 60's lying around somewhere. Not sure of the exact model, but that darn thing still shoots no problem.

[@cadetleo1696]

MAN I gotta get one these BEAUTIFUL Rifles ✊🤟👌👍💯🔥

[@dinobuddy]

I am so happy to see Larry pop up in my feed.

[@daveybass655]

My buddy had one. I thought it was one sweet shooter. 300 savage .

[@Xx_Tuberculosis_xX]

Ooh, I was just thinking about this gun

[@Ioughtaknowbetter]

I've always thought the 99 was the Pinnacle of lever gun design

[@tofan2622]

Larry, thanks for the video and great to see you again!!!

[@abrahamstark2944]

This men should be president of Unites States, he's a guy that you really want to follow

[@BrokenSparr]

These videos are timeless. I find myself rewatching them multiple times, especially the gun smithing ones.They are so informative and well put together. I am glad to see a new one come out, please keep them coming!

[@toastycarpet9873]

Ik right its super unfortunate that I don't think Larry has made a new video in a while

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

250 Savage , my first rifle

[@sidneyfisher3939]

Joe, I hope you still have that rifle. But I don’t know how it would pair up with those high end scopes you review.👍

[@stephensmith4480]

it`s years since I saw a video from Larry. I am a Brit, but this mans Gunsmithing skills are amazing. He was the Man to watch. An Expert. 👍👍😜🔫

[@drmarine1771]

Been hanging out for And that's the way it is.

[@tomfouche6995]

Should be reintroduced with modern materials and some modern calibers... Maybe a handy lightweight and short carabin type scout gun in 7mm-08 - I would love one. Why not..

[@raytribble8075]

I have been a loyal Midway USA fan since the late 80’s and always will be. I never miss any of Larry’s videos and he has answered so many questions of mine, I lost count.

[@adamwhite8882]

I have one of these and it's mint they are so fun to shoot

[@avalon449]

Need you to do more gunsmithing videos Larry.

[@Bayan1905]

I picked up a Savage 1899 carbine in .30-30 last fall, slickest little deer rifle I've ever owned. It's faster, handier and quicker than any Model 1894 carbine I've ever had.

[@johncormier646]

You can load spitzers in your shell cases for that rotary magazine. Turn a 125 yard 30-30 into a 200 yard gun. So far ahead of it's time.

[@lonewolf3902]

Yes he's back

[@garyedwards278]

Savage also made a takedown version which his highly desirable.

[@johnkenson1699]

I think Larry may be a vampire.

[@power12wagon]

I have one made in 1940s it was my great grandfather's and I love it

[@malanvogt]

10 years later... please tell me you are back.

[@jimren5638]

I love this rifle. So hard to find now and if you do it's very pricy. I'd love to get one.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

Actually....it was introduced as the Model 1895, later updated to the 1899 with almost no changes then later the 99 in the 20s

[@ryanwatcher3747]

Glad to see a new video from the legend Larry!

[@craigoldsen1667]

Killed my first deer with Dad's 99-EG, chambered in .300 Savage and I still have a partial box of the old Remington 1/2 red/1/2 green box of Remington/UMC cartridges that came with the rife. There is no cartridge counter on this one, however.🤷‍♂️

[@LS-kg1by]

I own 2 99's. 22 highpower, 250 Savage & 1895 75 th anniversary in 308. Its been decades since I shot a deer with that gun. But all your comments are prompting me to go out this coming deer hunt with the 308. Thanks Larry

[@talltimberswoodshop7552]

It's a great gun! I love mine in .308 and the fact that I've taken 5 deer with it, two of which are 10 pointers mounted and on the wall.

[@inkkari6603]

[@SirPhoebus]

I like this guy. I don’t know who he is but I liked the repairs he was showing in the other videos. Hello from Greece Larry!

[@pastafiend845]

This is, honest-to-God, one of the most badass videos I've ever seen. The way he talks about and handles that set and handles that savage 99 While yellow rose of Texas plays In the background, is uber-patriotic. It sends joyous chills down my spine. Hell yeah

[@steelgila]

Amen!

[@kingcementer1]

My uncle Gary had one in 250-3000. Pops said he sold it for beer money😵. Man I was born way too late !🤦🏻‍♂️

Wow.....discontinued 100 years later

Wow Larry so good to see you back! Favorite philanthropist. Larry for president.

[@twobears1224]

I have a 99 in 30-30 and it has the counter.it was pretty abused so i had to redo it..it,s getting nice now.

[@garyK.45ACP]

My all time favorite hunting rifle. Chambered in .300 Savage, probably the best deer/bear/boar rifle ever conceived. And suitable for elk, moose as well. It is easy to carry in the brush, accurate at 200+ yards and easy to mount a scope (if one would so desire to hobble such a trim rifle)

[@robertbertagna1672]

I love rifles friend

[@xringarcher1440]

I have two of em, one each in 250 & 300 savage

[@phillipstephens3079]

It was very briefly re-introduced in limited numbers, very limited numbers in the mid-1970’s. I ordered one for a customer in Southeastern Washington State…wished I had ordered one for myself, darn it 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@reb1050]

The Savage 99 I have given to my son is the one my 1st. wife's dad bought in the early 70's. It was a used gun when he bought it but it was the first deer rifle he ever owned. Before that, he had always used a shotgun. I inherited it when he passed away in 74. My present wife killed her first deer with it, as did my son. It's in great condition, both stock and bluing. It has only one drawback. It's in the .303 Savage caliber and that ammunition is not readily available. But that caliber beats a 30-30 and you get less recoil in the Savage 99.

[@kleankash88]

I bought this kzbin.infoUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL for the rats in my backyard. From my patio to the rat zone is 34 feet, so that's the distance I have been practicing at. I'm not the steadiest shot, but right out of the box on my first try it was pretty good. The red bulls eye in the picture is 1.5 inches wide to give you some perspective on the MY accuracy. I think with a little more practice, this gun will get the job done.Interesting that the grouping at the top of the bullseye is with the gun resting on the back of a chair, and the lower group is without any support. Again, I think the main issue here is ME. The scope image is really good, and I think if I were steady it would really be accurate at this distance.I have not actually shot a varmint with it, so I can't say whether it's powerful enough to kill a rat, but it goes right through the half inch plywood I'm using as a backstop. I have a concrete block behind that in case you were wondering. It doesn't go through that of course. But I definitely think it's strong enough for rats, squirrels, etc.The stock is plastic, but the gun feels solid and well built. It takes some effort to crack the barrel to load it, but that's expected with a powerful air rifle.The noise is what I expected. It's not quiet.I say it's a good value for $100. Varmints or no varmints, I'm having fun killing paper.

[@UFOhuntersWorldwide]

Who sells the savage 1899. 303 cartridges. I’m in Pennsylvania beaver county

[@blakewilson7054]

I’ve only ever seen one and it was a 308

[@Nick-wn1xw]

Too bad Savage is just focused on cheap and not producing firearms to be passed down anymore. If they reintroduced these guns, at a price point they would be profitable, they would still sell every one they made.

[@Tadicuslegion78]

Can't wait for Larry to do more

[@kennethrevis4466]

Nice rifle

[@bertroost1675]

James Bond used this gun in the story (not film) For Your Eyes Only.

[@charleyhydrick1820]

do you know how to adjust or machine to trigger to make the pull lighter mine feels like the safety is still on it too heavy feelin compared to any other of my rifles.

Great to see some more video

[@611_hornet5]

HE HAS RETURNED

[@jackramey3456]

Be careful! The loaded round indicator shows how many rounds are in the tubular magazine, not the gun itself. The loaded round indicator could show zero and a round could still be in the chamber. If you pull the trigger, it will go boom. Keep your finger off that trigger and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction!

Where on earth have you been Larry ! ..I had heard on the grapevine you had seriously injured yourself carrying all that cash to the Bank !!!.

[@oldgoat1890]

An amazing design. I often thought that the tilting bolt design in popular military semi-autos of the late 40's and the 50's came from this design. It is the same basic receiver from the 1899 model up to the new design detachable magazine model. I have 336 Marlins, 88 Winchesters and one '94 Winchester. None are as smooth as my '99 Savage rifles.
