Hey Bull, glad to see you made it here! 

Thanks, Jody! 

One post and my question was answered, but I'll hang around anyways! 1953 sounds dead on to me. (I wasn't born until 1962 when Dad had moved back home to South Carolina.) He bought the Savage (and a Marlin 39A on the same day) somewhere in the vicinity of San Francisco, CA. Those eyes are the factory installed numbers. The rear sight was removed the same day and a steel-tubed Weaver K4 with a post and crosshair reticle was installed. The lens shattered in the scope just before Dad died and was never replaced. The rear sight that is on it was meant to be a temp. measure. Will be VERY temp, too. Now that I've got the rifle back...

I'm thinking about either a Marble's tang mounted sight, or a Weaver K6.

Meanwhile, I located 200 once-fired brass that I'm going to pick up tomorrow. Then I've just got to get a set of dies and a couple of hundred 150 grainers...

  It's always something, isn't it?

Bull, out.

Theres a guy up here in Canada that rebuilds the old Weaver scopes if you wanna go the route of fixin dads old scope back up.

Just picked up this 1951 99EG in 300 Savage for a whopping $120.00!

My Savages in 300 Savage.

I just have one Savage 99. Got it about a month ago and just got and put the scope that I wanted on it. It's a very mint 1958 99EG .308 Win. with an equally mint Redfield Widefield 2 3/4 USA scope. Might even take it deer hunting next year. Nah, it's too clean.

You might only have one but it's nice one!  Hard to find caliber in an EG.  But can you stop at just one!

Probably not, I'd like to get a .30-30 carbine and/or a .243 Featherweight. I would be nice if they would have a small amount of wear so I could actually use them to hunt with!

Below is my 1949 99EG of the .300 Savage variety with Weaver K2.5 of same vintage. She's a shooter but it is sure getting hard to find .300 Savage cartridges. Looks like I am going to need to start reloading because I sure love to shoot this rifle.

BTW - Great site you have here and y'all got some beautiful rifles. - Steve

Welcome to the site!  Still no trouble getting 300 sav here in Canada.  The local Canadian Tire store carries it here in my home town.

Although not my own I never get tired of seeing this particular 1899

First Post- Thought this would be the place to "introduce" myself.
My name is Ray and I live in NC. I have a 1940 .300 Savage Model 99. It has a Pachmayr "low-swing" scope-mount with Unertl 4x Hawk mounted. The sling is an Uncle-Mikes.. but I'm not sure when it was added. It was on the gun when I got it (used). This has been my deer-rifle since 1977. While it's no collectors dream, it's in very nice condition. I'm just beginning to get into these guns.. and found this site only yesterday.

I was interested in this gun, because my Grandfather and Mother both hunted with them. I remember taking my first deer in 1973 with Grandad's, in Titusville, Pa. It was only a 4-pointer... but was probably my most memorable.  My mother took a dressed 220lb 10-point from on top our garage @ 305 paces (approx 220yrds) with her's. Grandad bought her rifle for her 16th birthday.
When I get back home (Erie, Pa), I will try to get serials and more info on each of their guns.
I also have a Stevens Model 311 series H, 16ga side-by-side... that I got for my 14th or 15th birthday. It's in good condition over-all, but I really scratched up the stock and forearm small-gaming with it (kids! no respect for their stuff!)..

To return back on-topic.. here's a couple pictures of my Lever.





I would like to find the correct rear site for it...

Interesting that someone added the white line spacers in it as well. It's a model EG.

Sometimes the rear sights find their way to Ebay but an old gun shop might have some laying around as well, I'd try them for a better price than what their selling for on Ebay if you have a couple old smiths around your place.

When looking through pics of all the 99's.. I don't see any of the white spacers. However.. on all (3) of our 99's.. the spacers are there. They were bought at different times and different places.

I'll check that... thanks!
