Just Bought Savage 99 Takedown!

Post by jbm1968 »

Well; I went back to my favorite shop a couple of hours ago and now I am the owner of a "New to Me" Savage 99 Takedown in 300 Savage. It is a pistol grip with factory checkering and 24" barrel the front sight has been tapped out (the ramp is there) and the rear sight is gone too. In its place is a Weaver K2.5 in a Stith mount! Of course, I can't take it down with that scope mount on it but that is not a real problem for me. Serial # in the low 300K range. Of course, I can't have it for 10 days due to the PRK having to protect its citizens from me. I am excited! This is my first Savage Levergun!!! Any info appreciated...

If it shoots better than I do, I may put away my pre-64 '06 M-70 next time I take to the field when I feel the need to use a scoped rifle afield.

They also have a M94 in 32 Special in the low 2 million serial # range in good condition sitting on the shelf at $450. What do you think; should I buy it too???

Great find! Sounds like mine, except for the scope and pistol grip.

Get the M94 too!

Thanks for the feedback. I decided to skip on the 32 Special, I already regret it and know it will feel worse later when the price doubles, but I am feeling the need to get something my wife might appreciate, I sure owe it to her :wink:

Sounds like you have a 99G. 300 sav. is a fine deer cartridge. In the 300000 sn# means it was made around 1927. Stith mounts go for big bucks, You made a good choice.

Your 99G is two years older than my 99F takedown in .300 Savage.

I've got a 99G in .300 Savage as well. Mine has a Marbles automatic tang sight on it.

Accurate shooter, produces sub 2" groups at 100 yards.
