Lets see your savage 99 rifles!.

[Max-4]

Does anybody know more information about the dates of manufacture and the models of the 99? I am specifically interested in the 99 EG and the 99 F both with the rotary magazine.

I bought a very nice 99 EG in .300 Savage a few weeks ago. It has not been drilled and tapped and has the lever block safety. But it doesn't have the case coloured lever which I have seen on some 99 EG rifles.

I have also seen some 99 F models which I think came later? They have a gold trigger, case coloured lever and tang safety.

Which model was considered more desirable? Was there a price difference back in the day? Thanks!

Google :Savage 99 dates of Manufacture. and you will find several reference sites that will give you this information.

The Ninety-Nine
History of the savage 99 Rifle
by Douglas Murray is the best reference book I have found about this rifle.

99 lovers are interested in Models and calibres with regard to most sought out variations. For example I have a Brush Gun in 358 Winchester which is one of the crown jewels of of Savage 99 accumulation. I would love to have the same model in 375Winchester. I also have two Savage 99R (300Savage and 308) which I feel are special because of their stock design.

24 campfire forum has a very extensive Savage collectors section which is worth a peek.

Cheers!

If anyone knows where I can find a vintage peep sight for a 1957 savage 99 please let me know.

There really hard to find as it will be vintage peep site and one has to ensure it will fit your rifle. Look in the US as there will be more available there.
