I've been a little too busy lately to get some pics and more details about these rifles, but hopefully tonight I can look into it some more. I appreciate all the info and insight. It seems almost 50/50 so far. How do I tell what model they are? I am pretty sure they are 99R or 99RS

I'm not a new member, but I just started visiting again after a few years away. For the most part, this seems like a friendly group of people. Looking forward to participating more and learning all I can. If anyone wants to chat about guns or anything else, just PM me.

Thanks for the info so far. I am not totally certain when they were made, but I am pretty sure they are from the 50s or early 60s. Unfortunately, the lever boss codes are unreadable for me. I will try to get some pics later tonight. I haven't shot them yet, so accuracy might be the deciding...

I recently acquired 2 nice early 50s Savage 99s. One is 308 Win, the other is 300 Savage. I am going to keep one, and let go of the other. Assuming all other things are equal (condition, accuracy, function, etc), which would you keep and why? I am not currently and have no plans to start...

I finally got my 2 dream guns. A pair of model 57's. One blue, the other nickel. I'll try to get pics later...I'll have to borrow a camera. I'm in love with these revolvers.

I still remember my first gun show...not too long ago. It was an incrediible feeling for me...got me all tingly and squirming from the excitement. I love gun shows.

Hi guys, i have been a long time reader. I am about to buy my first hand gun. I am looking at a 1980 built browning hi-power. a friend told me not to pay more than 600 for it....does that sound like too much or just right? Thanks, Badger_Girl

"Maybe your gun handling skills/abilities are lacking." Maybe your social skills are lacking.

I'm new, so I have an excuse right?

Hi everyone, I am new to guns and to this site. I hope I can learn a lot, because guns and shooting sports are quickly becoming a huge addiction for me! Thanks
