Ha! That's awesome Mark! Those are the best ones to find. When you're not expecting it and all of the sudden, there it is! It's like walking down the sidewalk and you see a 100 dollar bill in the gutter and as you pick it up, you realize it's 2 100 dollar bills folded together!

Thanks for the comment Mark! You and me both! It's frustrating to see all these other manufacturers still kicking out levers and even Savage developed that new straight pull Impulse rifle. I don't see how the 99 would be any more expensive to manufacture than the Impulse. Maybe one of these days. We'll just keep saying our prayers I guess. Have a good one!

If they did start making them again they'd be cheapened up big time with no sights and synthetic stock and they'd want ten prices for them

Thanks Rory! It really is a great book! Way better than I expected, all the illustrations are great! Very comprehensive information. I'm gonna have to order some more, I already have some people in minds for Christmas gifts. Thanks again!

Thanks for the comment hawleyr28, I appreciate it! That 303 was pretty sweet for it's day. It's always good to hear about those old rifles getting passed down too. One of these days I would like to find a little better one than I have. Maybe a 22-24 in barrel. Have a good one!

Thanks for the comment Billy! I work with a few guys from BC, also went up to Glacier a few years ago. Beautiful country up there! You can keep the Grizzle Bears though, didn't care for that, made me appreciate our black bears. Haha! 3 great rifles. Honestly, if I could only have 3 short action cartridges, that would be them. Have a good one, Thanks for watching!

.284 is one hell of a cartridge it’s not much different from the 7 mm prc a 7 mm08 a I don’t even come close. .284 32” barrel won the Nationals

Thanks for the comment Mike! That was a great era for all the 99's but I think the high point of the 250 and 300. Have a good one and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment Jack! I'm glad you like the 22 HP, one of my favorites as well. My Grandpa had one when I was a kid. He got it for my grandma but she could care less about guns. HaHa! I think he just needed an excuse to get it. I've always been fond of the 22HP though. Have a good one! Thanks for watching.

Thanks Marc, I appreciate it! Have a good one!

Thanks for the comment Andrew! Have a good one and thanks for watching!

Hey Beaver, no problem, it was a great idea! The thing is, I have watched the prices go up dramatically on these rifles over the past 5 years. On one hand, I believe they are getting more popular than they used to be but I also think, the recent gun buying frenzy has driven their value up. I would really like to see the second part calm down a bit. Maybe a guy could find some at a reasonable price for a while. One of my favorite places to look are Pawn Shops. Every once in a while one will show up in those places for a reasonable price. Last summer a friend of mine found a 300 in good shape for 350.00! Have a good one!

Thanks for the comment Merton! I appreciate it and thank you for watching as well! Have a good one!

Thanks for the comment Fred! Wow! I have to admit, I'm a bit jealous! It's nice to hear that two fine rifles like that are being taken care of and loved properly! That gives me a thought, I should figure out a way guys can post their pictures and share some of these great rifles on the channel. Have a good one, thanks for watching and thanks for the idea!

Thanks for the comment Ron! That is a fine rifle to get started on Big Game for sure. I would say that rifle would be able to do everything a guy needed it too. Thanks for watching, Have a good one!

I see you know everything on this rifles my day owns one but we don’t know what caliber it is how can we find out??

How much sir, or did you already sale?

Where did you find ammo for the 300 savage?

@@murlinthomas9858 AMMO from way Back! Plus I reload for it!

I have Ammo my Dad Purchased in the 1990's. He brought me home a model 99 because He said"It's the Only Rifle His Uncle Ben Used And He was a Slick Shooter" He lived in the Mountains of Pa! the Ammo boxes have price stickers that are between $12.95 and $13.99! I also Load for It. You should TOO!

​plenty of 300 ammo at ontario gun shows@@murlinthomas9858

Thanks for the comment Mike! C'mon man! You're joking right? I couldn't do that to a Savage. Marlins are all over that one anyway. Your channel looks pretty interesting, I'm going to hop over and check it out. Thanks for watching and have a good one!

Thanks for the comment Yussuq! I would make a tactical version but the Model 99 has too much class for that. HaHa! I'm sure somebody will one of these days though. Have a good one, Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment, Novo! Those 99 CD's are great! Pretty rifles, hang on to that 1895, you just don't see many of them. Man that would be hard not to put a few down the barrel. HaHa! Thanks for watching, have a good one!

Mr Gary, would you please tell me where I can find some 300 savage ammo... for my 99 savage

Thanks for the comment Mark! They are a fine gun. Last year, I was out with a friend of mine that shoots Long Range Precision competition. He had 12'' steel plates set up at 500, 750 and 1000 yards. I brought that rifle with open sights just for fun to see how well it would do. With a 168 gr match king bullet, I was consistently hitting at 500 and a couple hits at 750, never tried 1000. My point is that rifle shot as accurately as I could see at least. HaHa! Have a good one, thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment, Keith! I think a person could do just about anything they needed too with the 243 and 308 atleast in North America. The last 250 I bought was the take down in the video. It has been reblued and the stock refinished but the price was great. I found it in a little gun shop in town just last summer. So, they are out there but timing is everything. Thanks for watching, have a good one!

Thanks for the comment Gary! I'm glad to hear you passing the one on to your G grandson. I hope he appreciates it! If you have any trouble figuring them out, let me know and I'll see if I can help. That pocket book should help a great deal though. Also, is that a Pete in your picture? Pretty good looking truck. Have a good one, thanks for watching!

I would really like to know where to find ammo for the 99 300 savage. Really

About 1 k currently clean needs to be very clean

U cane make 300 savage since the .308 was made off cut .308 and resize in a 300 die this cartridge was off the .308 not the 06 like everyone thinks the 06 is a longer 7x57 the Germans acutely sued us over the cartridge

Thanks for the comment Ian! I have some questions. First, I read one time Mr. Savage was captured by Aboriginies and held for ransom but his family wouldn't pay it. Do you know if there is any validity to that? Also, what the heck is a 338 Canadian? That's a new one on me! Is it a Wildcat? It is awesome though to see atleast a few of you fellas down there getting some use out of the Model 99's! How do they hold up down there? It seems like a pretty tough environment for rifles. Have a good one Ian, thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment David! Man, great rifle, that's an actual 1899 too! Awesome, have fun with it!, Thanks for watching, have a good one!

Thanks for the comment Trinity! The stock I put on the 99 is a Boyds stock. I put that on a Model C, they are a bit different than the EG. If you get on Boyds website, and search for the model 99 replacement stocks, they have all the measurements so you can see if that stock will fit on your rifle. Thanks for watching, have a good one!

Thanks for the comment Vern! Sounds like a pretty neat rifle, you don't see the half octagons very often. Right off hand, my first thought is gunbroker.com. I have found it on there before but of course you PAY for it. There are some small boutique Cartridge manufacturers that still make it. Wisconsin Cartridge is one. I don't know anything about them though, so I'm hesitant to recommend them. Might be a great company, I don't know.

I also would really like to know where to buy 300 savage ammo.

The best time to look for it is before deer season when the Ammo companies ramp up production to fill the need in your state or check online. It does not stick around on the shelves too long after deer season.

The first one is 284 Win, the one right after it is 358 Win. Shit, did I forget to say it? Thanks for watching Scott!

Thanks for the comment Scotty! I like the way you phrased that, HaHa! I am finding myself being drawn more to the take downs lately, they are definitely intriguing. I will say, that fixed barrel 250 is consistently more accurate than the TD though. Have a good one, Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment Fred! Ya you're right about that. I guess we have to have something to do with our time. Have a good one, thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment Mr. Johnson! I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the Ruger Mark ii. HaHa! Is it possible what you meant to say was, "not only is Savage the best rifle ever made but if you ever needed it to be used as a paddle, it would also excel at that." Have a good one, Thanks for the comment!

@@leverbolt7699 My dad shot his last deer in 1981with a savaga delux from 1935 in 300 S with open sights at over 300 yards

You'll go without a paddle for the rest of your life. Congrats on the stupidest gun comment ever! Professor
