My father's 1927 Savage 99 in the venerable .30-30 chambering ...

I have 2,one 99E in 300 savage(it is for sale)and one 99c in 308.I like them they shoot fine for a lever I got the 99E from Doug,I think most of them come from him.

Thanks Gord, I like to think of myself as the Johnny Appleseed of the Canadian used guns community......

Holy snappers no kidding!

Funny part is I have walked past this rifle for months, but after Stomy said he thought they where crap in another thread, I began looking into them, and my eyeballing this one caught the attention of the store owner.

So I blame Stormbringer.

I'll post pics if it follows me home.

I think MadDog has half the 99s in Canada...

Admittedly, a few nice guns in this thread, but nothing even comes close to this beaut!!

 

[Doug]

Good morning SuperCub!

It would be a shame to burn that old shootin' iron on the BBQ, so if you feel that way about it, just send it down here, OK? It will have a good home, and from time to time it can come out and geeze with me........

Had one in 257Roberts and it was the best shooting lever I ever owned.Tried to find it so I could buy it back.Dizzydan was the last guy I know who had this 99. Where it went from there is a mystery.

Awe--Haa... now I know who you are

 

[MadDog]

I remember that gun, Dan said it was really nice to shoot.

Come on Dan, who'd ya sell it to?

 

[Doug]

senior, you should go to more gun shows, and you would know who a LOT of these guys are!!!! Good luck on your hunt, buddy!

Leaving in half an hour for the hunt camp, signing off now.........

brass triggers are probably nothing- my 99c clip has a gold plate factory direct- perhaps the brass is really this as well- it also had engine turning on the bolt, but i lost this when i had it re-blued- twit that did the job didn't know what it was and re-finished the bolt

 

[MadDog]

The gold triggers were only used on the F's, DL's and C's and are all post mil 99's, it means nothing special, just an added feature they put on during the early 60's, they went back to the blued triggers around 66.

The gold triggers are tacky looking. I like blued and Case finish. Les

 

[MadDog]

Hey man! My 99F 300 Sav and my 99C's in 284 and 22-250 have gold triggers.

Why you gotta hurt my feelings!

Cool thanks for the info.
...the plot thickens.

Now Joe, you know I had one of them things, but the 284 was just so far gone on the headspace, I had to let it go. Oh well, my Dad has a DL with the pretty gold trigger. Les
