Any Savage 99 lever action fans here?

[loadnplenty]

I have had many over the years come and go. Picked up this 1899 chambered in 30/30. All original gun unmodified (no extra holes). Early model with 26 inch barrel.

These things use to be around quite a bit. Just never see them or here anyone mention them anymore.

Guessing since they aren’t threaded or black they just not cool anymore and are forgotten in closets. 🤣

They are way cooler. Not many younger people do any sport shooting that doesnt involve paper. I wish it wasn't illegal to hike with a long gun in Ga

I’ve got one in 300 savage and picking up another one Sunday!

My father had one exactly like that that he put many a deer in the freezer with, but it was pawned one year when things got tight under Bush Sr and never made it back home. I've gone to Henrys myself, and the old AR platform which is just OK. Seems like it kicked like a mule though I was just a young lad when I shot it. I still like seeing the picture though. Good memories.

The neat part to some was the shell counter, for rounds in the magazine.

Yeah I had one in .308 that I really liked but when my second was born in the mid- 80's it went on the chopping block to pay the bills. Sure would like to find another one day.

I have one made to display in Savages office. Built in 1901 in .303 savage. It’s a take down

I've only had 2 along the way, but I liked them both. They were 308. I prefer a exposed hammer

I had a Brush Gun in .375 Winchester. I made a fat profit of it when I sold it, but I wish I had it back.
