Savage 99 Results

[FOTIS]

Bought it a while ago. Darn thing looks like new and it was made almost 70 years ago I was told.

This is a classic case of accuracy over velocity with Win 748.

BTW 100 yard groups....not 400 LOL

Beautiful rifle in a classic deer cartridge. Excellent load and accuracy. 8 clicks west and you are golden.

Great shooting Fotis! That little 130 gr TTSX shot great from my 308 and several different 30-06 rifles.

Really like the Savage! Glad it's in such good shape and shooting so well for you.

Best of luck afield with it!

It’s easy to love a .300 Savage! I may have to give those a go in mine, if I ever get it back!!

What was a total surprise was the trigger! Never had a 99 with that crisp and light trigger.

Great looking rifle Fotis, and fine shooting as always

Very nice Fotis. 60 couple years ago my dad once said that if he couldn't have a 30-06, he would want a 300 Savage. The old timers had a lot of respect for it in deer camp.

Awesomeness! My dear departed Uncle Andy would swear that the only thing capable of killing a whitetail was a Savage 99 in 300 Savage and a 150 grain JSP. Although, after beating through the woods for so many years, his looked like it was runover by a train in a rainstorm.

The only Savage 99 I have is in .358 Win. and just too pretty to hunt. I did run a few factory rounds and handloads through it and groups averaged right about an inch as I recall. King of a funny deal. I did an elk hunt near the Olympic National Forest in Washington state and while sitting on a stand contemplating my sins and other interesting thoughts came to the co clusion thata something in the .358 Win. would just about be perfect in the area I was hunting. Within two months afyer the funt I had my first one, a Ruger M77 tang safety. A week later the BLR, then another few month late a second Ruger 77 Tanger and finally the Savage 99. All I will add is with the limited shooting I did with all four, the Savage and BLR outshot the two Ruger by a noticeable amount. About that time I got my first .35 Whelen and the 358s have sat in the safe marking time ever since.

Nice load for your next hunt.
Must be something with old Savages this year. I’m currently working on a 110gr TTSX load for my 30-30 in a 840 for this fall.

I’d love to see how that works out. Looking for ideas for a 30-30. It’s a marlin 336C

I’ve been on the lookout for quite some time for a bolt action 30-30. I finally brought one home yesterday , a Savage 840. I’m very pleased in the overall condition of the rifle. Now I can load any bullet I want without worrying about a tubular magazine.

Just did a little with it so far.

Years ago outdoor writer Ben East was a 99 300 Savage user having written about it in some of his stories. A guy I went to high school with used one. Saw him before buck season and he said he still has it.

I will be trying AA2495 soon.

Remarkable work, though that comes as no surprise. Well done Fotis.

Thanks

This has got mind spinning on my Sav 99 - 300 Sav. I have a VXII 3x9x40 sitting on top. I’ve got plenty of factory CoreLokt 150 boxes but would like to load up something in the 125gn.

I think it’s pretty amazing that we see the Sav 99 still popping up in the forum every once in a while still. A CLASSIC !
