Just Bought My First Savage

After 50+ years of firearm ownership and hunting, I finally bought a M99.

I always thought they were kind of the "Ugly Betty" of the rifle world.

Then I broke down when I found a nice one born the same year as me (1957).

Once I got it in my hands, I realized there was something to these rifles!

Shot it last weekend and now I want another! :)

Hope to get her out again this weekend, along with a few others.

Looking forward to learning more about these unique rifles...as they say, better late than never!

Welcome aboard

welcome

Welcome from northeast georgia

Welcome to the "Brotherhood of the Barrel Nut".

Well, I just bought number 2...

This one is from 1953 and is a 300 Savage.

I already have about 400 cases and a set of dies. Rifle will ship after the Christmas holiday to avoid the black hole!

I am really lousy with my nomenclature...not sure which sub-model this is. It has the peep sight and the schnabel forend.

61.8 years without a 99 and now in less than 2 months, I buy 2 of them!

99s are a thing of Beauty ...EGs are sexy

Congrats on your 99s! I have a basic scoped 99, 60's vintage in 243 Win and it shoots nice!
