99R. 300 Savage?

I have a 1915 savage 250-3000. I want a new home for it if you’re interested

Would want if it took the 10rd aics mags but it seems only the savage 110 can accept those mags

You have an awesome collection, I recently picked up my first 1899 recently not knowing much about them when I bought it. it is a 1910 model in 303 Sav. with a half hexagon barrel and its wearing a lyman alaskan scope using the open sight cuts to mount the rather odd rings. I hope to someday fire it and enjoy it before moving on to other things.

Marlin also made a rifle in the 356win. I own both the Marlin and Winchester in 356. With Speer 180 or 220gr bullets it’s a lethal 300yd whitetail rifle.

35 Whelen is a 30-06 case not a 308 case. So not an equal comparison.

Handloads you can push a 225gr in a 358 at 2500fps.

Reason #6: Left-handed shooters have very few choices in bolt-action rifles.

I just purchased a 22 hi power randomly not really know what it is to help a family member. I believe is a take down. Quick google search of the serial looks like it was manufactured in 1930. It’s been fun last few days nerding out on the history of these gun.

Hey Leverbolt76, which caliber do you think is better in this rifle, the .300 Savage, or the ..308? Also, can these triggers be improved upon by a gunsmith?

No good. Out to far on the Rigth

358win Makes a bigger hole,think about it.

I have the same rifle in stainless -- very accurate and precise.

Love rewatching the video. Next time use a light background. Dark one makes everything hard to see. Thanks.

No, because none of you would be willing to pay what it would cost to turn even a minuscule profit. It would be well over $3,000.

I just bought an 1899A Take Down in .303 Savage, made in 1920, at an auction yesterday. Is there anything special i should know about it that makes it different from the examples in your video?

Can you make a table top review of that version?

Safest and best lever!!!!!

Looks like Browning is now dropping the .358 Winchester from the cartridges available for the BLR - the Browning Lever-action Rifle. Glad I got mine when I did. The .358 is now listed as "no longer in production" for each model BLR in the new online catalog.

Guns are special. I have many Savage firearms. My grandfather bought a spanking new Savage model 745 in the 1940’s and wore it out. I have two of them now. Also a MKII .22, a 93R17 and two Savage Axis 22-250 and 25-06. I love restoring firearms and working on them.

I don’t wish to be picky I am just trying to help. I worked in the aerospace industry for 30 years and it was my responsibility to teach employees how to use torque wrenches and measuring equipment. If you torque a fastener more than once it places an unknown torque value on that fastener. It’s always best to get the fastener snug before torque. Also removing fasteners with a torque wrench will damage it. Just my anal two cents. I have the Savage Axis 25-06 and love it. I put a Rifle Basix trigger on it and JB welded the removable trigger guard housing along with some JB weld in the wrist section of the stock. Most recently bought a forearm stiffening kit. Loving the videos and the upgrades. Keep them coming!

Hey there, love the video and I was on board all the way up to doing away with walnut stock and adding threaded barrels. I’m old school and all about steel and wood which is a true hunting rifle. I hate that these companies are going to plastic. If Savage brought back the 99 in wood and steal I would order it tomorrow.

Listen Kids ! The.25-06 is king for antelope,deer and sheep- she’s a lazier beam ! (Take it from an old guy) .

I have that same rifle. In 308. Did you change out the recoil pad ? That one looks better than mine. It looks like it has more cushion.

Love the 35's. 358 win, 35 Whelen...No point talking about 400 yards....You taking it beyond what its designed for. You missed your mark. Great caliber for inside 250 yards here in the southeast. I do like whelen a little better. But be careful comparing calibers with different ballistic coefficient.

Depends how you see it, I own one and I love it, But the 257 Robert's is great in its own right

Stop taking down your 99’s! You wouldn’t believe how many I’ve come across with loose barrels from people monkey fking with them for fun

Nedner 257 Roberts was based on the 7×57 German cartridge. The 25-06 is based on a 30-06 cartridge necked down to a 25 diameter.

I would be very interested in a new model 99!

Great video. I would hate to see what it would cost to manufacture a 99 nowadays. Had a brand new .358, a .300 and a .250. Foolishly sold them and have gone without for over ten years until this weekend when I picked up a takedown in .303. Forgot what great rifles they are. Will try to get my moose and deer this year with this latest acquisition.

Really good video nice rifle

GREAT HISTORY INFO

I'm getting 2600 fps with my 358 using 200 gr barnes tsx. Ammo from Hendershots.

NOT a 400yd gun, don't waste expensive ammo.

Love my 358s. have a Model 99 like this one. Also a Browning BLR and a custom Mauser. Hunt moer with Browning, a little lighter to carry. Have some incredible groups with the Mauser.

I have a savage 99 in a 250 with a 18 inch barrel. DID SAVAGE make a carbine?

99 should come back because they other companies already have high powered spritzer rifle round chambered lever guns.

Heavy bullets retain energy after striking an animal and slow down. The percentage of energy is higher with the big bullet mass. With a lighter faster bullet the energy rapidly declines as it enters the animal and slows down.

Pretty good for kentucky holdover at 400 yd

Good video! Thanks for the link to Savage Levers.

Is there production drawings publicly available?

I have one in 30-30 rotary i never seen so far anybody talking about the 30-30;

Which boyd stock and color did you go with? I can’t seem to find that exact color as an option on their site

If you call those good groups, I'd hate to see what you call bad groups. I know that the Savage rifles are capable of 1/2 MOA. I have a 1966 99e in 308 that is 1/4 MOA. I have a 243 in a Savage model 99, and I have not shot it for a while. I think it was a 1/2 MOA rifle. Your groups are still good enough for hunting, even though you might have to track a wounded animal.

I sure did feed my family a lot of venison with Savage's invention.

I keep seeing comments on the .358 and they compare with 200 grain bullet. The beauty is it shoots 250 grain bullet. Sure you aren't going shoot it 400 yards.

It’s because it’s the lack of projectiles made for the caliber. I own a few 35 Remington’s in a Whelen. I handload and can tell you there is not a lot of projectile options out there for either of them and it seems everything in .358 projectiles are limited runs. I started casting hollow points for him a few years back. The whelen won’t feed them but both 35 Rems do.

Am I seeing things or are there two different hight scope bases on that?

Love the 1899s. If I had my druthers I would have two, because I'm a shooter, not a collector. One would be an older model in 300 S for deer and a second one in 22HP for varmints. Both would have straight stocks, long barrels and cool schnabel front stocks.... if I had my druthers. Good show btw. I liked it.
