Savage is an often under appreciated gun company, and the Savage Model 99 a rifle often not given the credit it is due. How many other firearms can claim to have been in active production by their original company for 103 years, with more than a million examples made? Well, for those who are interested in collecting the Model 99 (or its earlier iterations, the Model 1895 and Model 1899), David Royal's "Collector's Guide to the Savage 99 Rifle" is the sole and definitive source of information. He carefully catalogs all of Savage's model designations, factory options, production dates, serial numbers, and other such details. It is not a book with a lot of outside context, and thus not much of a general-interest read - but for the serious Savage enthusiast it is indispensable.

This. I've never actually shot one, but I was reading an answer on Quora regarding shooting 7.62 NATO in a .308 rifle, and he was describing difficulties between either loading or cycling that would occur based on where the ammo was manufactured. This got me reading into the Model 99, and a lever action + rotary magazine rifle designed to shoot full power rifle ammunition just seems like the kind of thing I'm not going to be able to fully understand and appreciate until I see Ian pull one apart. (Similarly, I was looking into info on the seemingly short lived M21 a little while back, and was sad to find that it had never been reviewed on Forgotten Weapons, as this is where I come for the final authority on firearms history, and I wanted to know if the M21 were simply M14s that were more accurate during test firing and then subsequently pulled out of production to add optics, or if they were in fact given match grade barrels to definitively differentiate them from standard M14s.)

I have older model 99 takedown in 250/3000 that is in pretty good shape & a 308 Winchester Model 99 that my Dad left me. I used to take them out to shoot once in a while & I have never really seen any rifle quite like them as far as the rotary magazine with the lever action. They may seem a bit old now but a lot of deer & other game have been taken with the Savage Model 99.

Correct!! They were one of the first if not THE first to utilize: a striker, a round counter on some models, and a loaded/ cocked indicator, as well as being able to decock it by holding the trigger to the rear and closing the tang. Amazing system that was ahead of it's time. Seems most people think that they are trash.

I agree, it's a fascinating gun, I inherited a .300 Savage Model 99 from an uncle and love the gun; it handles more like a shotgun than a rifle. I love the aesthetics, and the fact that it's meant to be carried in the hand, and the mechanical shot counter, and the rotary mag. Friends have them in .250-3000 and .308. I could imagine Ian doing a similar breakdown like he did with the Colt 1911 pistol with the various types of Savage leverguns.

Robert Foley I gotta do some more research on my Savage, but I'm fairly certain it's a model99 in .300sav. My grandfather when I was about fourteen just said out of the blue "hey I got something for ya in my office!" takes me over and just hands me the rifle and three boxes of ammo. It was my first rifle as well and man does it pack a decent wallop compared to the .22s I learned to shoot in the boy scouts haha. Only had it for about eight years now but it's my favorite as well, but I hope to be able to pass it down to my kids or grandkids when I decide to start a family someday.

My dad gave me his 99E made in 1953. My grandpa (his father in law) bought it for him so they could hunt together. Since I was the adopted son, when all my brothers divvied up the guns I got what they didn't want. They said it didn't extract and that the forend would fall off. Turns out grandad got it used at a gunshop. It was drilled and tapped with weaver mounts. Someone put the wrong thread stud in the forend. And I fixed the failure to extract by heavily cleaning the chamber and bore, and using the correct ammunition (.308 win, although I would love to have one chambered in .358 win as well). This rifle shoots exceptionally well. I plan on jewelling the bolt, replacing the rear sight that is missing and just ordered new sling studs so I can fix the forend issue. Next is to refinish the stock and possibly the bluing.

Very honest review, thank you. Currently I only own one Savage 99, but have owned four others. My “collection” was reduced to accommodate my downsizing of material items not by any fault of these additional rifles.

You are correct not much has been published on this rifle and I was pleased to learn of this reliable source of information.

I'm always a bit disappointed how few people are aware of their cute little .22 Savage Hi-Power chambering. It's a weird little round (Based on the .30-30 Win by way of the .25-35 Win) with a bit more kick than you'd expect, and even a hundred years later, our little 1899 Take down can light a match with it. Gun's been in the family since new, my father bought it off of a distant cousin back in the town the family settled in, for the price of a big enough supply of tobacco he was sure he'd not go through it before things came to a close.

1" to 1.5" groups at 100 yards. That was with 150 grain SBT soft points. I've recently started using 150 grain Hornady Vmax flat base and I have retained if not improved the accuracy. The part of the country I'm from really doesn't afford you long distance shots unless you are set up on the edge of a cornfield or are near a power line. The farthest I've taken a deer with it is probably around 75 yds. It's really a great rifle for follow up shots but I can't recall having to make any with it. The biggest selling point to me is the weight. It's a wonderfully light rifle and also compact making it very maneuverable even with extra layers of clothes.

Chad Jarrett, in fairness to Ian, he has stated previously that he concentrates principally on military arms when covering long arms. In truth, given the numbers of the excellent Savage 99, I’m not sure you’d be able to firmly put it in the forgotten designation. Personally, love to find a good Savage 99 Featherweight Takedown in 250-3000, at a price I could readily afford, I shot one some 40 years ago, it shot very much like a lightweight bolt rifle as it would assemble quite tight, as it appeared to have been worked over by a good gunsmith. Alas such rifles are rare and quite expensive.

Bought a model 99 in 308 years ago. A very late model with birch stock but nice looking. Unfortunately, Savage's production line had become very sloppy and although I had a scope mounted on the rifle, you couldn't move the windage enough to actually zero in the shot... even with a Redfield mount, which is adjustable for windage. Looking down the left side of the receiver, which was flat, I noticed that the tapered barrel side matched the receiver side all the way to the muzzle. WAY OFF and my father in law's rifle was almost as bad. When you contacted Savage, they quickly disavowed any responsibility... as do all arms manufactures these days with issues pertaining to quality of manufacturing. The older 99's are great rifles but anyone buying any 99 should visually inspect the barrel/receiver alignment or suffer the same problem I had.

All these "forgotten" weapons Ian has put up countless videos to show the world about the rifles , guns and explosives that built the world . Not one video on Arthur Savage or hus famous 99 lever actions that were by far the best lever guns in the most high tech calibers available at the beginning of the 1900s . I cannot believe you have left out one of the geniuses that had more to do with the development of modern spincer bullets in the USA than any rifle maker of the time. Come on now Ian you cannot tell the story of rifles without telling the story of the savage 99e and all the other rifles and cartridges that Arthur Savage invented ! Get on it Ian !

Wait, but you don't have a video on this rifles. Hope that will be fixed sooner or later. ;)

Are the firearms that you introduce in your channel for sale? If they are, are they for decoration, or are they usable?

I like to imagine my gun Jesus in an oriental robe telling me about historical guns and gun references. I go back and forth if I prefer him with a tumbler of bourbon or a single malt scotch at his side....just to mix it up.
