I just looked and found that I have darn near a full box of the old Bronze Tip ammunition in .300 Savage. Damn shame I don’t have the rifle to go with it.

Fine old lever gun that 99. The rotary magazine was an interesting feature.

The Savage 99 was way ahead of its time. The rotary magazine was a wonderful, but expensive feature. Its side ejection made scope mounting simple and in-line with the bore. Its action is strong enough for modern cartridges such as the .308 and .243.

It carries and points well, and is an accurate rifle.

To duplicate the craftsmanship today makes it an expensive rifle to produce.
