99F questions

[magothy1]

New to this rifle, looking for info on pulling the bolt to clean the barrel. Been you tubing around, saw a few things. Anyone have a favorite video suggestion ?

I've been a Marlin guy for a few years, seen a couple familiar names here. I like this rifle a good bit, looking forward to learning and shooting with it.

Thats not a fun job on a 99. Why can't you clean the barrel without pulling the bolt?

Most of the internal parts are easy to get at once the buttstock is removed.

I prefer to clean the barrel from the back end, just a bolt gun and Marlin habit.

Hickok45 has a couple of videos in the Savage 99. One includes disassembly and cleaning. Both are very informative and should give you what you need.

I have a pair of Savage 99's both in .308 and 1957 vintage. One is a 99F. Found the pair of them six months apart after a 25 year search. Great guns that both shoot exceptionally well. More affirmation of Savage's reputation for accuracy.
