- Another Favorite Firearm Video! Thanks for watching- This video features my Savage Model 99 Takedown in 30-30 win. Made in Utica NY in 1932. A true classic in the whitetail woods! If you get a chance to own one don’t hesitate! Thanks for watching again and please subscribe-
Just saw you for the first time...i will be 80 this November...It was a delight to see someone like you. I have been a collector most of my life...a few years ago...i consigned to a dealer friend of over 40 years several hunting rifles & shotguns...including five 99's...one in 300, 308, 243, 250-3000 and an old 99 in 30-30...it was a carbine cowboy model with a saddle ring. Guess what...I kept a 99 in 300 Savage...a 1947 model made in Utica NY...I feel the same way you do...love the vintage outfit!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting on my video! I’m so glad you kept one! I’m looking forward to hunting with mine this fall! Thanks again-
A great piece of American history. And one of the finest lever actions of all time.
Nice...... mine is from 1946 in .300 Savage. One of the last rifles shipped from the Utica, NY factory before they closed and moved to Mass. They made about 20,000 99's that year, while simultaneously shutting down parts of the plant and moving their machinery to the other site. Savage was the only WWII wartime contractor that consistently met their projected quotas in time, and were 80% ahead of scheduled delivery during the entire duration of the war; making various machine guns for U.S. Army Air Corps and Marine Corps bombers and fighter planes respectively. After the war, they no longer needed all the manufacturing space, so decided to close the Utica plant. It's cliche' these days to say, "they don't make 'em like that anymore", but these rifles fall solidly into that category. Mine is 73 years old, and is still my favorite hunting rifle after owning it since 1976. This rifle was designed to put meat on the table........... and it still does. God Bless America! Some day, we'll find our way back to the roots from whence we came......
Whiskey River thanks so much for passing on all this knowledge! I had no idea! What a great company- thanks again for watching and for commenting!
My 99 is a 1953 in 300 Savage.
I just use it for target shooting now.
I reload for and use a charge that is about 70% of max load.
This makes for an enjoyable shooting experience at the range.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I’m glad it’s still seeing action! Good luck!
I love hunting in the snow! It’s such a natural and freeing experience… I also love my 1965 99C and all of my Filson hunting gear… as you said “it’s a classic” and it just makes you want to dress the part to play the role… 😎👍
I couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching and commenting
I have 3 of them all model C with clip. 243,284 (favorite), and 308. Our club has a 99 weekend once during the season where everyone that has one brings it for the weekend. What a sight to see 8-9 of them in the rack together.
Keep the videos coming! Griz
That sounds like a great time Griz! I never heard tell of that before. Awesome Idea! They are a fantastic rifle!
Great video. I just bought my first Savage 99 chambered in 300 Savage. it was built in 1946. What a fine piece of workmanship it is. I just subbed, great channel.
Thanks for subscribing and congratulations on your purchase!! My daughter was just given a savage 99 in 300 Savage also and hopes to get her first buck with it this fall! Hopefully I’ll have a video of that!!! But unfortunately I’ve had a really hard time finding ammo and what I did find was on gunbroker for $125 a box. I bought one just because I didn’t have any but hopefully I find some soon cheaper- hopefully you also have better luck than I have. Great rifle and thanks again for joining us!
Really enjoyed your video. Took me back to when my Grandfather hunted with his Savage 99 in 300 Savage caliber..
I have pictures of him hunting in the same coat as you are wearing.
I inherited my Grandfather's Savage in 1964. I was 13 years old. My grandmother gave it to me for Christmas.
I shot my biggest buck ever with it. It was a magnificent 5 point Mule Dear that I shot in my home state of Utah.
I moved on to Black Powder hunting in 1976 and retired the Savage at that time.
Several years ago, I quit hunting all together.
Just recently, I got back into shooting and reloading and found out about Trail Boss reloading powder.
I'm using this powder for my 300 Savage and my 1956 Winchester Model 94 in 30-30 caliber.
These are light loads for target shooting only.
Love shooting these loads and have enjoyed a renewed interest in shooting these old but faithful lever gins once again.
Amazing! Thanks so much for writing and sharing your memory with me! I’m so glad you have the coat and got a big buck with it! So special! I feel that way about the hat I wear! It’s my dad’s old lucky hat and I love wearing it!
GREAT vid!
Fantastic image clarity, beautiful camera work, music, production! Well done!
Thanks so much! I appreciate that!
I have two of them...A 99F and a 99A.....Both in 358 Winchester.....True classics !
Ken Snyder very nice!
Thanks for the video…I have the same rifle (Takedown model in .30-30) dating to 1937. Yours is just a few years older and looks to be in great shape.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you have some success with that rifle this fall!
Make me want one bad.
Funny running into this clip again. I went looking and finally found a 300 Savage 99 that's one year younger than me. Let's just say this great rifle has weathered better than me.
Love it.
Thanks for the video , I have the exact same rifle , Savage M99 in 30-30 with a 26” barrel in a takedown model , made in 1925 😊
Johannes van Hoek very nice! Thanks for watching and for subscribing! They are a beautiful rifle !!
I have a bunch of them, a bunch to repair too. I do use a 30-30 T/D once and a while. It has a flip over scope on it. I have pulled the barrel and flipped the scope shot, and repeated up to three times at the range. It holds zero @100 yards. That just amazes me. I am sure all don't, guess I got lucky with that one. I think one of my favorites is my .303 Savage T/D since they started making brass for it again.
Nice video. I wish you would have mentioned two more unique features of the 99. How to close the lever without cocking the firing pin and how to unload the 99 without having to rack the shells into the barrel. Very safe features for a lever action.
Thanks for watching and commenting on the video Jim! I am not aware of those two features. I will have to research that. Thanks for mentioning it!
@@TenXTimmyFinsFeathersFurs Me neither. I’d be interested in learning about those features too.
500 wont even come close these days to what they are bringing in 30-30. You have a gem there.
Wow- thanks
@@TenXTimmyFinsFeathersFurs yer wlcm!
The cloths and the woods brings back a lot of memories
Tim, what a treasure. Loved the video presentation. Always wanted one, now I can't afford one. My life's story lol.
EastTexan thanks for watching I appreciated your comment. I guess the clips for them have skyrocketed in price!
I now have one, and am anticipating using it!
Chris Blake best of luck with it
Best DANM Deer 🦌 Rifle Ever Made 🇺🇸 308 CALIBER 🇺🇸
Love it! Thanks for watching
Thanks for making this great video.
I had never even seen a Savage 99 until the other day when I traded a pistol for two rifles - and one of them is a 300 Savage 99!
It’s waiting in town at the gun shop for my background check to get done. Usually the BGC only takes a few minutes, but this time there were over 4,000 people in line ahead of me. But I’ll get it home in a week or two.
I’m really looking forward to bringing that rifle home. According to the serial number, it was made in 1941. Sure is a pretty thing.
The fellow who traded it to me said he’s had it for 27 years, and never fired it. I’m hoping to take a deer with it on our farm this year.
Thanks again for the video. You have a beautiful rifle there.
Treeweavers thanks for watching and I’m glad to hear of your purchase! I bet you can’t wait to pick it up! Good luck with it!
Outstanding video. Wow!
Love the classic plaid, fantastic editing. Just perfect. That is a beautiful gun. I have my dads Savage 99E that I have so many memories of growing up, steering at it, as it sat in the gun rack. I take it deer hunting every now and then and every year on his birthday. Would not sell that gun for a million dollars.
Thanks for such a great video.
Regards
Mark
backcountrypipe Hanks so much for the kind words! I had a feeling that the people that own these felt similar to me in they way they hold them near and dear. I don’t hunt with mine often but when I do it’s like stepping back in time. I’m glad that you have your dads and still take it out! Please post a picture of it and you with a fine buck next year on his birthday! Thanks again for watching and stay well!
I have a F model made in 1957 chambered in .308. My favorite deer rifle.
Bravo, beautifully done! I could have watched a feature length's worth of the B&W segment alone.
When i was just a gun-nut kid i had the Golden Guide to Guns published 3 years before i was born. I was enthralled by the images in there (not a plastic abomination to be seen) to almost he same degree as i was enthralled by the classic shotguns in my Granddad's closet, all of which were in that Guide. The most handsome firearm in the excellent little book in my prepubescent estimation was not a shotgun, however, but rather a Savage 99 DL. What a perfectly executed rifle! I am 56 and still have that little book and still think that Savage is the best looking gun in there. And in real time, too. NOTHING evokes the golden days of the hunting camp like one glance at a 99. I have not yet gotten my hands on a DL model, but i do have a 1950 EG and a 1953 model R, rare up here in Alberta. I had a third, another EG from 1955 with jeweled bolt but i sold it cos hey, how many does one man need? They're not making any more of these and it's better to share the love than to horde i reckoned. I hunt with both of the ones i have (i was hunting with the EG this morning), and like you i will not denigrate one of these rifles with a scope. Skews the whole aesthetic. And aesthetics are important in life. "When things are slow on the stand i like to admire the composite plastic of my rifle stock" said no-one.
Thanks so much for watching and especially commenting! I read it twice and was smiling each time. The feelings it bright you are exactly why I did the video. I love mine but haven’t taken a white tail yet with it- hopefully this year! Thanks again. Ps I did another video of my dad and his Belgium browning lever action in the same fashion. Maybe you’ll see that one also.
@@TenXTimmyFinsFeathersFurs A buddy of mine when i pulled up the other day there he was with a freezer doe he'd just shot with his BLR in .270. They don't have the looks of the 99, but they are excellent guns nonetheless.
It's interesting thinking of the 99 and design in general. In terms of aesthetics. All the best looking rifles and shotguns were designed by the end of 1950 and by far most of them were around by 1920. There are many parallels. Cars and motorcycles, the very best of it had been done by the end of the 50's. (I was thinking yesterday isn't it interesting that the Savage 99 and the classic Indian Chief motorcycle had the same logo, the 99 being basically the Indian Chief of firearms! Those gorgeous sweeping, rounded lines.) Clothing, too. The 50's were the last days of men for instance dressing with class in their off hours (that is, when they weren't being paid to dress with class.) By the time i came along in the mid 60's we were on our downslope. Men in their leisure time started dressing increasingly like bums and even the 99 had seen its best days. Function began to trump form as dictated most often by cost. Housing the same, the best long done by the beginning of the 60's. Quantity over quality became the name of the game in all things. Make lots of it as cheap as you could. I am not so sure how many even think in terms of aesthetics these days. Thankfully we still have some reminders around from our golden days should we care to look.
@@tozobozo4142 well said!!
@@TenXTimmyFinsFeathersFurs Cheers TenX... in the meantime if you're not already familiar with the art of Philip Goodwin you might do a search. You'll see what i mean. ;) All the best and thanks for this, got it bookmarked.
@@tozobozo4142 I am very aware of his work and appreciate it very much. My Great Grandfather painted a bit and really liked his style. Now my own father is painting in his retirement and also loves the style of Goodwin! Thanks for reaching out!
Very nice video beautiful rifle brings back memories
I have a 1935 Savage 99 in 303 Savage. Its a beautiful piece of equipment.
A teal life elmer fudd! Heck yeah great videos
Lol thanks so much!
What a cool video. I have a similar model 99 in 300 savage and the same woolrich jacket. You should do a video on your 742. I remember as a kid going to deer camp in the catskills the racks were filled with them. My dad and my uncle both used a 742 it would be cool to see a videolike this about that model. I love your videos. Pass through your neck of the woods to go to deer camp in Delaware county. Keep up the good work.
Matthew Chizmadia thanks so much for the kind words! I appreciate them and you watching! Those jackets are the best! I wish mine was a bit bigger in the sleeves but It was giving to me so I can’t complain. It’s funny because the 742 Woodmaster 30-06 is what I’ve usually hunted with since I was 16. I bought it in the Adirondacks. I put the question out on Facebook asking what folks would rather see. A video on the savage or the Remington. They overwhelmingly picked the savage but I think I’ll do a video on my 742 also. They are a work horse and very popular here in the North East! Thanks again for watching and maybe next year I’ll post one on the Remington.
I own three 99's a 99f in .284 , a 99A in .300 Savage, and a 99f in .358 all with the rotary magazines. I love them all. The .284 and .358 are near new condition (I baby them!) The .300 shows more use but is still 85 percent condition barely silvered around the muzzle. I looked long and hard for them, but will now never sell them. They'll be passed down to my three sons when I'm gone home.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I’m glad you’ll never sell them. I’m actually in the market for a savage for my wife to deer hunt with. Not a 99. Something a bit different but still a classic! I hope I find one soon and do a video on that as well.
The savage 170 pump in 30-30 is a classic. Nit sure what model your looking for for your wife to deer hunt with but Whatever you choose I can't wait to see the video. Really enjoy all your videos !
@@tmonk001 thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it! I just bought her an old savage 219 single shot 30-30! Neat old rifle and it came with a 12 gauge barrel.
That's a great rifle shotgun combo. Can't wait to see a video on it! I love the old firearms, better quality than today's plastic stuff.
@@tmonk001 that’s what I was thinking too! She’s used to her over under shotgun and loading a crack barrel so I thought it was a good choice to try for big game. She’s never done that before. I really hope it all comes together this fall in the Adirondack mountains.
What a great video I love the thinking behind it. I have one too, a 1950 in 300 Savage. I loaned mine to Hickok to do a video on. He wanted it , but no way was I gonna sell it. Lol
Wow what a great story- I watch him a lot! Did he make the video?? Please copy the link here for me I want to watch it!
@@TenXTimmyFinsFeathersFurs Just bring up Hickok 45 savage 99 and you will see it. I’ve loaned him several guns to do videos on in his early days at RUclips
Got one in .303 Savage made in 1912 excellent rifle.
Yes they are! 👍🏻
GREAT VIDEO SIR
Thank you very much!
Shot my first buck when I was 12 with my great uncles mod 99 in 300 sav.
That’s awesome! That is my oldest daughter’s mission! Last year she never saw a buck at 12 years old. Hopefully this year she will get one with her 99 in 300 savage! Thanks for watching
One of the most beautiful rifle gun ever made 👍
Jay Dee I agree!
Wow beautiful gun . Love the woolrich clothing and hat and LL Bean boots. And the Jeep. The Savage model 99 is the one rifle I’d love to purchase yet. $350 you got a outstanding deal there. What year is your Jeep ? Keep on keeping on and Best of luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.
Thanks for watching John! I appreciate your comments! The Jeep is a 1998. I bought this rifle from a coworker. I wasn’t sure if I should or not at the time and my dad talked me into it. I’m glad he did! Thanks again and stay well!
TenXTimmy You sure did well taking your Dads advice. Great Old American Rifle. Keep your Traditions going.
My grand father bought a 99 New in 300 savage my cousin has it and hunts with it today
cabotbluegill very nice!
Yeah, Don't ever put a scope on it. my Dad has one made in 1926. Somebody put a scope on it, and ruined the takedown feature. If you find you need better sights, put a tang sight on it. It's already drilled and tapped for it. I have a 1936 EG in 300 and that is my next step, I like peep sights. Great video
Thank you so much for the advice! Mine will never see a scope but my daughter just recently received her first deer rifle from a good friend. A 99 in 300 savage with a scope on it already. He hopes she will get her first deer with it. That would be great!
Beautiful gun! Nice channel, fellow ADKer 😉
Thanks for watching and commenting!! We love the Adirondacks
Just got my 99 from auction here in Alberta Canada. It's a 1957 in 308
I love my '99s, one in 250-3000 and the other in .308 Winchester....And I kick myself for not buying one in .300 Savage when I had the chance and the money in my pocket.
Amazing video. I have not ever seen a .30-30 Model 99. The .303 Savage version is very common up here north of the 49th, the heavier bullets made it preferred for the bigger game here.
A take down as well! I hope if I ever find one in .250-3000 Savage in a take down Ill have the money to spend!
@TurtleWolf Pack. I just inherited my grandfather's 1929 Savage 99. Unfortunately I have not been able to get to the range yet. 😑
@@leorapsonjr9134 nice! What caliber is it in?
@@turtlewolfpack6061 30-30 Win
@@leorapsonjr9134 that is awesome! Up here north of the 49th I always see the .303 Savage, I can not recall seeing a single .30-30 Winchester version.
@@turtlewolfpack6061 as far as I know the 30-30 is a little rare, the hardest ones to find are in .22 High-power. Hopefully so I'll be able to make it to the range!!!! I'll let you know how it shoots!

Hi I have a model 99 in 22hp. A good gun but hard to find ammo for it in Australia I do reload it though.
Cheers Rory
Rory Derbyshire wow I bet that’s a nice rifle to shoot! Thanks for watching!
They certainly don’t make them like they used to!
Back then "Bean Boots" would have been Maine Hunting Shoes. Not sure exactly when they dropped the name but mine were bought November, 1990. I think they changed over around 25+ years ago no doubt to appeal to a wider audience.
bwayne40004 yes! What size do you you have? I’m happy with the 16” but I wish they were insulated.
@@TenXTimmyFinsFeathersFurs Mine are the 6". I didn't get them for the great outdoors, just bad weather and mine are not insulated either. Chocolate brown finish, not the tan. And....I really like the 99 also. I'd like 300 Savage I think although I've always been a 308 kinda guy.
bwayne40004 very nice! I appreciate your comments and thanks for watching!
TRULY A GREAT VIDEO
Thanks so much!!
Nice rifle. I have 2 both in 300 savage

Really nice rifle there. Savage 99's are beautiful pieces of hardware but the checkered pajamas we a bit hard on the eyes.

Great Video! Way to hunt off your back legs! The way it should be done, even if youre just playing! My Brother, Ive GOT to know where you got that cool as hell gun mounting set up for the top of your windshield inside your jeep! That old savage looks like it just belongs there! I haven't seen anything that cool since John Wayne passed away! Please do us like minded folks and right thinking Americans another video and show us where you got that mounting system and how you attached it to your Jeep! You would be welcome at my fire anytime! Thank You Sir!
Randal Young this is by far the best comment I’ve had! Thanks so much for watching and for your comments. I think you’ll enjoy some of my other hunting videos also. I’ll attach a picture of the gun rack. I can’t remember where my father bought it but this is the exact model. Good luck hunting this coming year and thanks again for watching!
Randal Young sorry I Can’t figure out how to post a picture of it in the reply to you but it’s a Great Day Quick Draw Overhead Gun rack for Jeep Wranglers. Optics planet had it for sale.
@@TenXTimmyFinsFeathersFurs Thank you so much for the info! I have a 99 Wrangler Sport that we play with and i am a serious lever gun enthusiast like unto yourself. Ive got to rig up something like yours where my old vintage lever guns can ride up top like that. I literally hooted out loud when i saw that gun holder in your jeep! I ve been collecting and hunting with lever guns for over 40 years and have been fortunate enough to hoard 11 Savage 99s in various calibers. Good ones are getting harder to come by with every passing day. And, the prices are going crazy! You stole that one that you got! That was definately one of your best days! Your takedown 30-30 is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Im kind of jealous! Ive been looking for its twin for a while now, i dont have one in 30-30. Thats something i intend to correct a s a p! "My gun vault is just like heaven, there will ALWAYS be room for a few more!" If youre comfortable doing so, shoot me your e-mail , id love to send you a picture of a 33 inch wide Idaho Mule Deer that i harvested a couple of years back with my 1915 era model 99 takedown in 250-3000. Its really cool to see someone else that uses and hunts with these old antique gems! Almost everyone that i encounter in the field is intrigued by my old guns. It has been wonderful to chat with you, take care. Keep up the traditions , my brother!
Randal Young wow it sounds like you have an amazing collection! I’d love to see that mule deer picture! And I hope you find the Savage you’re looking for soon. I’m also saving my $ for a hammer shotgun lol. I love the old ones too but may need to get the Cz model because I duck and goose hunt and need to be able to shoot steel. My email is tenxtimmy@aol.com. Hope you get the gun rack soon you’ll really like it!
gotta love it
OldSchool Ron thanks for wathing
Excellent video. I agree with you the 99 is just a beautiful rifle. I'd like to have one in 250 Savage. People are modifying the chamber on a 250 Savage to a 25 creedmoor basically a 6.5 creedmoor neck down to 25 with the factory rifling it's good to 115 grain bullets and is much higher velocity than the original 250 Savage. Also the brass is very easy to get and they say it's very easy to load for. Tell me what you think about this? Thank you I appreciate it
Just came across your channel. Nice video. Looks like where I hunt in the U P of Michigan.
I first saw a 99 when I was about 14 when my uncle came up to our farm in north central Michigan to hunt. His was a 300. He knew I was doing all the shooting I could at the time. His had a scope with a dot. I had never looked through a scope before and could not keep the dot in sight. Said I would never use a scope on a rifle. Times have changed. Have bilateral macular degeneration and epiretinal membranes. Had to switch from right to left shooting. Open sights are just really hard to see. All my guns now have scopes.
Over the years I have had 2 308 99e. First many years ago which I sold for some other more fancy gun. Foolishness. Bought another several years ago but sold it to pay for a new transmission. Been looking for a replacement but prices are sooo high now. At a gun show yesterday a fellow had several 99s from $800 and up (the same fellow who purchased my last 99). They were all real nice. He likes nice firearms. In another rack I spotted some less desirable guns. At first I did not recognize one was another 99e. It had a plastic stock on it and the metal, except the lever, had been painted black with speckles. I looked closely at it. It seemed to function perfectly with a good bore. Was a "project gun" from a teenager. Just did not look right though. Talked with him and he sold it to me at a big discount. Still cost as much as a good one some years ago, but was far cheaper than a pristine model. Plan on restoring it. Now to fix my third 99 and if it functions and shoots it will stay. At 73 I must limit my hunting now. But still love old guns.
Have a good day.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting on my video! I’m so happy you have another 99 and I hope you have great luck with it! This is my only deer rifle without a scope. I have yet to take a deer with it but did take a fine bear a few years ago. That video is somewhere on the channel also. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
@@TenXTimmyFinsFeathersFurs By the way, I mostly hunt with old red wool clothes picked up at yard sales and St. Vincent stores. Am old and look it with those clothes on. Have a good day.

I have a 1912 Savage 1899 25-35. Someone put a limb saver on the butt. I want to disassemble the rifle but not remove the saver. I know this is asking for a lot, but could you let me know where the center of the hole is in the butt? Thank you.
Randy B Stuppard thanks for watching and for your comment. I will check and get back to you
Pretty sure you need to remove limbsaver to get to the bolt holding the stock to the receiver.
