savage 99 whare can i get one

"...whare(SIC) can I get one..." Try a gun show. Pick the chambering wisely. Decide that first. Getting ammo, brass and components for a lot of the Savage named cartridges is difficult. Some are strictly a reloading cartridge. Some use an odd sized bullet(.22 HiPower, for example, uses a .228" bullet) or just isn't being made by anybody.
Condition matters too. Epp's is listing a 99, in .303 Savage, in poor condition, but they're still asking $219.
 
I went with .308 in my two 99's. My hunting partner owns 6 in .300 and his son owns one .300.

My primary is a 99C with a removable 4 round magazine. I like the removable mag as it loads and unloads quicker, easier and safer. Eventually, I'll buy another 99C and give my son the 99E (my spare) if he ever gets his license and takes up hunting. That or I'll sell it.

I opted for .308 as it's a very common round with good ballistics and I could get a 99C with the removable mag in .308. I've never seen a .300 with the removable mag.

I just peeked in EE under hunting rifles and right now there are listed for sale:

99E - .308
99M - .308
99F - .300
 
"...whare(SIC) can I get one..."
Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", "as such", or "in such a manner". In writing, it is placed within square brackets and usually italicized – [sic] – to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, punctuation, and/or other preceding quoted material has been reproduced verbatim from the quoted original and is not a transcription error.[1]

It had a long vowel in Latin (sīc), meaning that it was pronounced like the English word "seek" (IPA /'sik/); however, it is normally anglicised to /'sɪk/ (like the English word "sick").

EE is a good bet to find one, maybe try posting a WTB ad. The prices of the 99's has been creeping up quite a bit though. I still wouldn't mind adding a removable clip model to my collection.

:D I am pleasantly surprised. - dan
 
I have five, four of which I found in the EE. I agree that the prices have been creeping upward lately, but nothing too crazy yet. You can usually get a pretty decent one for less than a comparable bolt gun, and if you wait long enough, you should be able to find exactly what you are looking for. I just acquired a 99 in .284, which I though would always be one of the more difficult ones to find.

Thanks Super! I am happy to have learned something today and all of a sudden I don't feel like Sunray is looking down at me from quite so high.:p

99's are everywhere and are easy to find. Try firearmscanada too!
 
You should be able to pick up a nice Savage 99 to hunt with for $400-$500 without scope. As much as I like the.300 Savage I would recommend the .308 over it simply because of ammo availability and cost.

Actually, "sic" is a contraction for editorial purposes. The proper Latin word is "sicut".
