Savage 99F

[Angus 1895]

Here is a savage 1899 F in 300 savage

I’m gonna inspect it and shoot.

Then complete the thread.

I want to sell it.

The bore is pitted, but has decent grooves and lans,

The stock has bubbles on the finish.

I think cleaning solvent is the culprit

The forearm has a few splits on the schnable.

It shoots 5 inch groups with iron sights at 75 yards.

$475 plus shipping.

Thanks

Some of thse pitted bores shoot a bit better with cast lead bullets. Lead fills in the pits.

that a takedown model?

 

[Angus 1895]

Yes .

The bore cleaning continues. It’s shiny now.

Take downs are super easy to scrub.

I whipped out two varieties of bore paste.

The forearm wood is in better shape than I first described and is matching serial number to the receiver and the barrel.

ALL numbers match….buttstock and butt plate.

The stock DOES NOT have a tang crack.

I think a 5 inch 10 shot group off the back of a pickup in 10 mph at 75 yards with iron sights shows promise.

If I shoot it better next time I will post the group.

The wood will clean up good with a chemical strip and refinish.

I bet a peep on this ol girl will easily make it a minute of deer relic!
