Savage 99…collectable?

[NAA]

I've got one Savage 99, it's an "F", pre mil serial no, mfg in 1958. And in .308 Win.

Had been lovingly 'restored' by another fellow gun enthusiast. Came thru my local GS a number of years ago & it was too 'nice' not to pass up.

Love 'em or hate 'em they have a bit of a cult following. Enjoy yours!

I have a couple of 99s.
Oldest is a Montreal Home Guard .303 that someone sported, cutting back the forend, and removing the name of the original owner. Rear sight removed, Lyman tang sight (with windage adjustment) installed.
The second is an early '50s .300. Never drilled and topped for a scope, front sight ramp is integral with the barrel. Put hang tags on it and it could just about pass for new.
