I find them hard to beat for the money.Not as fancy as the others but very accurate.

I have had a Model 99 .300 savage, Savage rifle since I was 12. I wouldn't trade it for the world. And I am not just saying that for sentimental reasons. 2" groups at 175 yards, rested. I love it. You can't go wrong. 0 -
They are not as "pretty" as the others, but they are a well built, very accurate gun. I like the design which allows the head spacing to be set exactly. (screw in barrel with lock nut) That explains some of the excellent accuracy. Also, check out the Howa rifles. Howa and savage are the best built rifles for the money, hand down!
Save, research, then buy the best.Join the NRA, NOW!Teach them young, teach them safe, teach them forever, but most of all, teach them to VOTE!0 -
I had a savage 110E as my first big game rifle in 30-06. Wasn't very pretty but I sure shot a lot of deer with it and they dropped like a rock!! Wild pigs too.I just sold it about a year ago and regret it. I should have dropped it into a synthetic stock. If you get one for around $200 used you're doing great. Of the 50 plus bucks I killed with it not a single one complained that he wasn't whacked with a fancier rifle!

My brother in law just bought his girlfriend one in .270 for Christmas. This was the laminated, stainless model. We took it out two weeks ago using some "unknown" handloads my dad had laying around. She has been shooting less than one year, laid out a 5 shot group I could cover with my thumb. I fired a two shot group with a different load, 100 gr. bullets, they were less than 1/2". My gunsmith swears it is the button rifled barrels. Pillar bedding and free float doesn't hurt either. 0 -
I have several 99's and a 110. The 110 is .270 win. had to have gunsmith lighten trigger pull from 12lbs down to 3lbs. Very accurate and dependable. I got mine for $125 ten years ago. 0
