New levergun

[reddnek]

I wandered into a pawn shop that I dont frequent much( big operation, 3 locations in the area and not known for deals) Much to my suprise I spotted a model 99 Savage. When I finally got someone to wait on me I found it was a 300 Savage and the price was $295. Wood needs refinishing and the blue is a little thin,but the bore is decent and the action is tight.I've been looking for one of these for a long timeI'll post pics when I figure out how

[Poohgyrr]

Looking forward and let us know how it shoots!

[Borregos]

Sounds good, look forward to pictures and range report

CONGRATS, on finding a rare gun (for this forum).

$295 for any Savage 99 is a steal around here. Congratulations!

BTW, if anyone here doesn't think the .300 Savage is a stone cold killer of deer, see Buffboy's posts about his wife and her .300 Savage. They are going to be eating very well this winter.

I'd like to find one in .308 Win.

Love the 99's.

I missed a chance on a 308 years ago
I'm with Big H, every time I look at 300S data I just keep nodding in agreement. Kinder between 30/30 and 308 but more towards 308, got to be sweet.

[O.S.O.K.]

Congrats! That's a great find. Wish we stupid pawnbrokers around here! They all have books and use em.

I picked up a $300 99 in 300 savage. It was well used the only problem was that it wasn't factory tapped and the rear tap job wasn't in line with the front. So I traded it back to the same store when they got clean 99 in. But what I know now is that Luepold makes a one piece base that is windage adjustable that only uses the front rear base hole. So that would have fixed that problem . Alot of the 99 weren't factory tapped, so keep that in mind.

Not sure if this one's factory tapped or not but it carries a 4X Tasco which will be repaced by a Weaver K4 at some point
