Savage 99F

[kamlooky]

(The takedown maybe non factory wood?)

Pulling the butt plate and forend to check serial numbers would be quick, could be factory wood with later embellishment checkering on the cheeks.

Did this.
Dint see no numbers so aftermarket it is I suppose.

I’ve got one in 22HP

Hey Mike
I didn’t have a picture of my 99F’s other than a group photo which would have been confusing on my phone.

So… 308/1966. 300/1957. 250/1955. And a 243/1957. Equipped just the way I got them with scopes and sling swivels, cleaned them up and that’s as far as they made it, shooting to start when I retire…..pfffft!

Well if you find a 300 savage take down that is in great condition( good bore really) let me know I’m in the Yukon too!

Yup, Savage model designations by letter gives me a headache.Pretty confusing.

I currently have a 1921 1899F takedown in .250 and a 1954 99EG in .250.
I've owned just one 99F and frankly, I found it hard to shoot. That light barrel just felt wrong to me.

I feel the same about Browning BLR. Some people love them but personally don't care for them.

Hi All
Great post, thought I’d share. I picked up a lovely 99F in 358 win. DoM is 1960. What was interesting to me is that it has the gold trigger, tang safety and the barrel has the ring on it to hold the rear sight. Also came with a nice Weaver 4x and a one piece pivot mount.

Still nice rifles tho
Curious if the barrel is marked Westfield, Mass?

Nice 99f. You don't see many in .358. Had a reputation as a kicker.

Even the.308 has a recoil reputation in the Featherweight 99’s.
I haven’t shot my Brush 99 in .358 yet so definitely not an expert, but sure would like to find a DL, R/RS or an EG in.358.

No, mine is marked Chicopee Mass
I haven’t fired it yet but I’m thinking it will kick like a mule. Lol
