You have no idea how all over this I would be if only I had the money!

Free bump...always thought the Savage lever actions were really classy looking.

Well come on. Sell something! These are only going up in value.

Is this rifle missing it's open sights?

I am 99% sure this rifle never had them. There is a little factory filler piece in the barrel where the rear sight would have been. I read that not all came with the open sights. I don't collect guns, so I am king guessing.

Now THAT is an interesting rifle, I don't care what Larry Potterfield says.

 

[scubasteve]

suhweet. Love the wood. Good candidate for a fresh rebluing, but then it would be to pretty to bring in the woods.

[jmcrawf1]

If I didn't just buy a Marlin 30/30 a week ago I would consider hanging on to it. But I would much rather see it go to somebody who will fix her up and admire her. I would have it in the swamp if I kept it. And besides, I ain't taking any 300 yard shoots in the swamp. A 30-30 is much better (IMO) for what I am doing.

i sent you a pm last night about a trade.

This is the gun (model and caliber) that Milo Hanson used to take the famous Hanson Hole in the Horn buck. That world record stood for decades.

 

[smith625]

Model 99's where the whitetail standard for a long, long time. That filler for the rear slot was made by a good old school smith! Very nice example as well!

I want this. Now I need the money!

On a side note: I can't picture Steve hunting...

 

[hunter5567]

Quite possibly THE best "brush carbine" (in a serious caliber) for deer hunting in thick woods ever built. I had one in .35 Remington many, MANY moons ago, with a Leuopold 1 X 4.5; one hell of a close-in (100 yards or less) deer rifle.

When I quit hunting, I sold it to a fellow who had been after me for years to sell it to him. For a "non-tactical" all-around defensive rifle, I'd take one of these over ANY bolt gun; or some semi-autos, for that matter.

.

I've never heard of a Savage 99 in 35 Remington. They did make it in 358, 375, etc. If it was factory original in .35 Remington it would be worth a mint as it would be the only one made.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that I wouldn't need to sell it.
