Savage 99

Recommended Posts

Made in 1948.  300 Savage. Low round count I’m sure.  It was a family member’s rifle and he only used it deer hunting.  Never was one that understood plinking. $800 obo.

My hunting partner has one passed down from his dad that he would like to shoot a deer with.  Great old memories.  Sure would be nicer if there was a more readily available supply of ammunition.  

 

Neat old gun!

I see the ammo occasionally at Sportsman's warehouse. A buddy has 1 in 300 savage, so when i see it i send him a pic.

I have brand new dies and once fired, sized and primed casings I would consider getting rid of.  Also some 125 grain Speer bullets too.  I got them with the idea I would get into it because these levers can shoot the pointed bullets and that seemed attractive and possibly more accurate, but it’s been years and haven’t done anything. I’ll post up the components in a little while.

 

it looks like they’re not primed.  It’s been a few years.  I did keep notes so it looks like I annealed them along with other brass prep.  101 pieces and a few factory loads.  I pulled some of the old reloads because they looked dirty and probably would have been sloppy loads as well.  The family member didn’t reload so he got them from who knows where.  Lee Pacesetter dies, and Speer 125 Grain TNT, 200 pieces.

That would be a nice family heirloom to pass down to the grandkids. (That’s where mine is going) Beautiful piece of hunting history right there. If I had the money I’d scoop it up. Good luck with the sale.
