I luv the design of the 99's.... they're built like a bank vaultThe Edsel of guns, ugly at the time but worth more now! Thats sure is an awesome gun,Lt
"The Edsel of Guns" - poetry. They certainly made up for their looks with those pointed bullets and oldtime performance cartridges. When I was a kid, everybody was switching over to bolt actions and you could pick up old Savage 99s for next to nothing. If only we knew...
i agree! i can remember amny years ago, you could buy a decent Savage 99 for a decent price at a gun store or gun show, now they hardly ever seem to show up, and when they do, they are wanting a fortune for them. i wish i had the forethought to buy several of them many years ago and just put them back!That sure is the truth 28Shooter...if only we knew.
Grey,
You'd be surprised. Sometimes they just fall into your lap! I really like the 300 Savage as a deer cartridge.
i wish one would fall into my lap too! most any around here that become available are priced way too high.My lap is always open, for just that reason.
