Re: Savage 99 article in Blue Press
Yup , Got it but haven`t read it yet. I have never been a fan of the 99 but lately I have been seeing and liking them more. Maybe it is an acquired taste???
Kinda like the 1911 (for me), I have owned a couple of them in the past but never fell in love with them, now I have three.![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

Re: Savage 99 article in Blue Press
Here we go, with me starting it...away from the thread........99's shoot like bolt guns. One of my biggest mistakes in the gun collecting field was bypassing the old 1899's in 38-55, 32-40, 25-35, 30-30, etc in favor of 1886's and other Winchesters back in the seventies and eighties when the Savages
could be had for half of a Winchester. I did manage to snag a few of the nice early ones but not as many as I should have.---6

Re: Savage 99 article in Blue Press
My 1941 99 in 300 Savage is lighter than my 30-06 Browning 1895 and my 308 BLR, and it holds 5+1... the 95 and the BLR will only hold 4+1. The only thing I can say bad about it is that is doesn't have a straight stock... but it does shoot straight! I had a 1929 straight stock takedown 99, but I think the barrel was worn out.
The Arthur Savage story is fascinating! I can't wait to get my Dillon Blue Press in the mail to read about it all over again!
