Savage Model 99E

[CombatAK]

I am seriously thinking of purchasing a Savage 99e. This one is in .300 Savage. It is older and has no round counter. Thoughts? Does anyone have experience with this model and caliber?

I will reload for it. I reload all of my other rifle calibers.

I would grab it if its in good shape. Id like to have one of the later ones in .308 but the ones I run across are priced like the older ones.

Collectors/Savage 99 fans usually turn up their noses at 99E's because of their (usual) birch stocks and lack of round counter. That doesn't hurt its usefulness at all and usually means you can pick them up cheaply. Good honest deer rifles, and if you can't get it done with a .300 then you probably won't with any other caliber. Grab it!

.300 Savage brass can be made easily from .308 Win brass.
