Just so everyone knows what is being discussed: From "To Ride, Shoot Straight....." 18" long with stock folder 4.5 pounds unloaded Ghostring sights Clean trigger Chambered for .44 AutoMag (claiming a very unrealistic 1800 f/s from a 10" bbl)* Uses "advanced muzzle braking system" that both...

NateH, it's your rifle and your grandfather gave it to you, so you can do with it as you wish. With that said, what I understand is that it seems you want to shoot it more but are finding that .25-35 ammo is difficult and costly to come by so you want to alter the caliber to something...

I like the Savage 99 very much myself, and they are getting harder to come by all the time. $650 is a bit high for my wallet, but then I haven't seen the rifle you're looking at. If you are looking just for a rifle you don't mind taking to the field, then you are probably better off getting...

This is from oldguns.net: # 10181 - Savage "99M" Marking 1/4/2005 John, Greenfield, MO Savage - 99m - 308 - 21'' - Blue - 108xxxx - none, Has Leopold Scope with scope mount adjustments, no internal adjustments for scope Would like to know: How many were made of this model? What the ''M''...

I do not recall nor have I been able to find any reference to a specific round count for a magazine for a scout concept rifle. I do seem to recall Col. Cooper having a preference for internal, stripper clip fed magazines as they are less likely to become lost or damaged and yet still retain...

Marcel Hendricks took an elephant with a Savage model 1899 in .303 Savage; makes me think that hunters with lever action guns have been bringing down elephants for some time.

See step #4 I think once you have everything else disassembled, you should be able to reach in and re-align the carrier spindle support and sear as you re-assemble it. http://www.gunreports.com/special_reports/long_guns/Lever-Action-Savage-Model-Hunting-Rifles167-1.html

Art Eatman has the right of it. I often see threads like this where someone asks if a scout rifle is the right thing then a bunch of people start comparing it to a semi (or auto) with a large detachable mag in a fire fight. The whole point of the scout rifle is that it is a good rifle for a...

From the notes of Jeff Cooper (as found here): For those who have not tried it, an explanation of the advantages of the forward telescope is in order. First, and most important, the forward glass does not obscure the landscape. With both eyes open the shooter sees the entire countryside as well...

.308 is the killer for this idea. In addition to what krochus said, there is also the Savage 99 that can be had in .308 It is also out of production and I don't see any movement to the rumors that Savage was going to reintroduce them. In fact, the Savage 99 was the only lever action to be...

The 702 is reasonably accurate, inexpensive, light weight, reliable, fun to shoot and simple to operate. Magazines have been very difficult for me to find though and nothing over the stock 10 rounds. If there is any aftermarket for the 702, I haven't found it. Another issue is that at...

I know you asked for an all around cartridge to compliment your existing .243 and 30-06 but you are also looking for a rifle that you will receive on your 18th birthday. With that in mind, I would suggest that you get something different and special. What come to mind for me are the larger...

I'm not aware of any lever action in current production from Remington and Ruger's model 96 lever only comes in .17, .22, and .44. The .35 Remington, a rimless cartridge introduced in 1906 and originally chambered for the Remington model 8 semi auto, is most commonly seen in the Marlin 336C...
