One of the first lever actions to employ the "Spitzer" bullets. And they never should have stopped making them, it is an easily fired rifle and it's absolutely accurate.
I adore mine, 250-3000, a takedown that can cloverleaf- go figure! It became unprofitable according to Savage in 99, I’m grateful they let the king of lever’s go till it hit the 100 year anniversary however, that was kind. Hunt honest shoot straight
I Treasure my 300 Savage. It is my saddle gun with Iron sights. My father give it to me when I was 10 yrs old in 1955!! I have harvested many Deer and a number of Elk, with it through the years!! It has been, and still is a very reliable rifle!! Thank You For your Input on a Great Rifle
Another trip down memory lane indeed, I just had my Grandfather's early Model-99B Octagon barreled, in .25-35 Winchester out for it's annual cleaning/service. Still sports the original iron sights, no scope was ever drilled/tapped for it.
I have been a loyal Midway USA fan since the late 80’s and always will be. I never miss any of Larry’s videos and he has answered so many questions of mine, I lost count.
These videos are timeless. I find myself rewatching them multiple times, especially the gun smithing ones.They are so informative and well put together. I am glad to see a new one come out, please keep them coming!
This is, honest-to-God, one of the most badass videos I've ever seen. The way he talks about and handles that set and handles that savage 99 While yellow rose of Texas plays In the background, is uber-patriotic. It sends joyous chills down my spine. Hell yeah
My all time favorite hunting rifle. Chambered in .300 Savage, probably the best deer/bear/boar rifle ever conceived. And suitable for elk, moose as well. It is easy to carry in the brush, accurate at 200+ yards and easy to mount a scope (if one would so desire to hobble such a trim rifle)
I own 2 99's. 22 highpower, 250 Savage & 1895 75 th anniversary in 308. Its been decades since I shot a deer with that gun. But all your comments are prompting me to go out this coming deer hunt with the 308. Thanks Larry
I picked up a Savage 1899 carbine in .30-30 last fall, slickest little deer rifle I've ever owned. It's faster, handier and quicker than any Model 1894 carbine I've ever had.
Yes !!! Thank you for the videos again. I have a 99 that chambered in .300 sav. That my grandfather my father and i all killed our first deer with and an uncle even killed a Canadian moose with it .
I was given a model 99F (featherweight) for my 18th birthday. It's chambered in .308. It's accurate, especially since I put a Lyman #57 aperture sight on it, carries like a dream, and functions flawlessly. The recoil is a little stiff, but I'll go hungry before I part with it. I'm 62 now, and it's going to my younger brother one day.
The Savage 99 I have given to my son is the one my 1st. wife's dad bought in the early 70's. It was a used gun when he bought it but it was the first deer rifle he ever owned. Before that, he had always used a shotgun. I inherited it when he passed away in 74. My present wife killed her first deer with it, as did my son. It's in great condition, both stock and bluing. It has only one drawback. It's in the .303 Savage caliber and that ammunition is not readily available. But that caliber beats a 30-30 and you get less recoil in the Savage 99.
I’ve had 4 Savage model 99’s, down to 3 now; 1951 99EG 250-3000, 1955 99F 300 Savage, 1972 99F 308 Winchester. Always looking for more. 303 Savage, 30-30 Winchester, 22 High Power tops on my list.😊
An amazing design. I often thought that the tilting bolt design in popular military semi-autos of the late 40's and the 50's came from this design. It is the same basic receiver from the 1899 model up to the new design detachable magazine model. I have 336 Marlins, 88 Winchesters and one '94 Winchester. None are as smooth as my '99 Savage rifles.
Should be reintroduced with modern materials and some modern calibers... Maybe a handy lightweight and short carabin type scout gun in 7mm-08 - I would love one. Why not..
It was very briefly re-introduced in limited numbers, very limited numbers in the mid-1970’s. I ordered one for a customer in Southeastern Washington State…wished I had ordered one for myself, darn it 🤦🏻♂️
My son was given one of these from his grandfathers collection after he passed away in .243. He’s still too young to shoot it, I cleaned and oiled it before putting it away to store it. I had no idea the design was so old. I would have thought it was a product of the 50’s or 60’s with savage trying to develop a new take on lever guns.
Best lever action ever made. Reloaded ammo for a Savage 99 in 308 Winchester I hunted with years ago. The only thing I did not like about it was the balance but that is a personal thing and no fault of the rifle. I'm just a picky turd when it comes to rifles. Fit, ergonomics , and balance means as much to me as accuracy.
@@oldgoat1890 my particular savage had a lighter weight barrel than some of the older Savages I've seen. I like a rifle slightly muzzle heavy for a steadier hold but slows down your swing a tad for a quick shot. A 7.5 lb rifle with a scope is what Iike the most. That can be tough to come by .
do you know how to adjust or machine to trigger to make the pull lighter mine feels like the safety is still on it too heavy feelin compared to any other of my rifles.
Killed my first deer with Dad's 99-EG, chambered in .300 Savage and I still have a partial box of the old Remington 1/2 red/1/2 green box of Remington/UMC cartridges that came with the rife. There is no cartridge counter on this one, however.🤷♂️

Great to see Larry back! More, please.
I love my '99 in .300 Savage. Incredibly smooth shooting rifle, and it gets a lot a admiring looks!
Larry is BACK!! 10 years since his last video. However, I think this was recorded 10 years ago too. Ha.
Nah this was filmed recently.
Fill me in. Where has Larry been. Wasn’t aware he was gone but, I haven’t shopped midway in a long while.
Theres a bunch of videos in the past 4 years, like 30+
@@andyprice4696Larry stopped appearing in videos many years ago.
@@Hartwig870Umm no. Larry stopped appearing in videos years ago.
With the Schnabel fore end it's the most stylish of rifles.
Love it so glad to see some videos again from u.
"and that's the way it is" *YAY THE CATCHPRHASE IS BACK!*

In S Africa one of my great mates and I Now 70 yrs old used the savage 99 in 250 /3000 as Teenagers . He still uses his Rifle today over 50 yrs later

Ik right its super unfortunate that I don't think Larry has made a new video in a while
Larry, thanks for the video and great to see you again!!!
Fun fact: Larry never ages, he just gets smarter and younger
I think this was recorded 10 years ago.
And that's the way it is!
A good gunsmith never dies...He just gets reborn with a new gun, that's called 'infantry' 🤣
I have a savage model 99E chambert in 243
The Serial number tells me US made in 1963.
I love it
it`s years since I saw a video from Larry. I am a Brit, but this mans Gunsmithing skills are amazing. He was the Man to watch. An Expert. 👍👍😜🔫
Wow Larry so good to see you back!
Favorite philanthropist.
Larry for president.
Absolutely love the Savage 99, thanks for doing a video on this very cool firearm.
Glad to see a new video from the legend Larry!
Proof that if you do what you are passionate about in life , you'll look younger and younger as time passes
I have a 99 in .308. looks and functions just as good as the day it came out of its box in 1952.
I like this guy. I don’t know who he is but I liked the repairs he was showing in the other videos. Hello from Greece Larry!
250 Savage , my first rifle
Joe, I hope you still have that rifle. But I don’t know how it would pair up with those high end scopes you review.👍
Hey Larry! It’s good to see my fellow brethren from the Show Me State again.
Such a beautiful and classic look.
I love watching Harry like others like watching Bob Ross
Thank you for coming back!!!!

Amen!
I still use my Model 99 in 300 Savage for deer hunting. I love that rifle. It is a classic.

When I saw this was a new video, I about fell out of my chair!
It's not. This video is old as hell, it's a reupload
I am so happy to see Larry pop up in my feed.
I picked up a Savage 1899 carbine in .30-30 last fall, slickest little deer rifle I've ever owned. It's faster, handier and quicker than any Model 1894 carbine I've ever had.
You can load spitzers in your shell cases for that rotary magazine. Turn a 125 yard 30-30 into a 200 yard gun. So far ahead of it's time.
It's a great gun! I love mine in .308 and the fact that I've taken 5 deer with it, two of which are 10 pointers mounted and on the wall.
Yes !!! Thank you for the videos again. I have a 99 that chambered in .300 sav. That my grandfather my father and i all killed our first deer with and an uncle even killed a Canadian moose with it .
I have my grandpa’s M99. I love it. It’s chambered in 300 Savage.

Need you to do more gunsmithing videos Larry.
The model 99 in .308 was my first rifle as an adult. I never noticed the round counter. Egad! how did I miss that? Such a great gun.
MAN I gotta get one these BEAUTIFUL Rifles ✊🤟👌👍💯🔥
Thank you Larry👍
I have one made in 1940s it was my great grandfather's and I love it

The Return of the King.
Yes he's back
I've got a Savage in .22 tube fed from the 60's lying around somewhere. Not sure of the exact model, but that darn thing still shoots no problem.
Ooh, I was just thinking about this gun
I’ve had 4 Savage model 99’s, down to 3 now; 1951 99EG 250-3000, 1955 99F 300 Savage, 1972 99F 308 Winchester. Always looking for more. 303 Savage, 30-30 Winchester, 22 High Power tops on my list.😊
Missed you, Larry!
Please continue. The gunsmithing videos are my favourites.
I have a 99 in 30-30 and it has the counter.it was pretty abused so i had to redo it..it,s getting nice now.
Little did you know, Larry Potterfield spent the last 10 years unlocking the secrets to immortality.

My buddy had one. I thought it was one sweet shooter. 300 savage .
Muito bom ter informação de qualidade, gostaria de poder visitar sua empresa um dia, parabéns !
Been hanging out for
And that's the way it is.
Wow, i had no idea larry was the founder of midway. What an awesome guy!
Should be reintroduced with modern materials and some modern calibers... Maybe a handy lightweight and short carabin type scout gun in 7mm-08 - I would love one.
Why not..
I have one of these and it's mint they are so fun to shoot
Que hermoso el modelo 70 para cazar bonito ese pais que puedes tener acceso a todo eso.
С возвращением!

This men should be president of Unites States, he's a guy that you really want to follow
Actually....it was introduced as the Model 1895, later updated to the 1899 with almost no changes then later the 99 in the 20s
Larry Potterfield, Gun Jesus' (Ian McCollum's) dad is back! This is fantastic!
10 years later... please tell me you are back.
Great to see some more video
HE HAS RETURNED
Top of my hit list a little hard to find but I will get one lol
Can't wait for Larry to do more
I love this rifle. So hard to find now and if you do it's very pricy. I'd love to get one.
Picked up one of these lever action rifles at a popular gun shop for my collection.. now gotta find 300 caliber ammo for it
I have a 99 made in 1910. Chambered in .303 Savage with full octagon barrel and has the tang sight. Weighs around 3 tons...
Where you get your cartridges
@@UFOhuntersWorldwide I haven't bought any, just have less than 50 vintage rounds of .303 Savage ammo.
I've always thought the 99 was the Pinnacle of lever gun design
Nice rifle
I have one of these, 300 savage, scoped.
They should bring this back in 308 Win!
I re-barreled one to .260 Remington.
I think Larry may be a vampire.
Savage also made a takedown version which his highly desirable.

Fit, ergonomics , and balance means as much to me as accuracy.
I like the balance, but the lever is too small overall. If you have big hands or gloves on, that second round down range can be quite a surprise.

Larry is a vampire. Just like Nick “the cage” Cage

Sweet
