Default Any Savage guys here?

I just picked up a Savage 114 in 7mm mag for my nephew. According to the Savage Arms web page it is a 114u or ultra made in 2002. No accu trigger, blind magazine, walnut stock.

Is this considered an American Classic model?

Anyone own one and how do you like it?

I have my Grand pap's 99, made in 1928, if I remember correctly. I think it is a model F? takedown, in 300 Savage.

I have never shot it but plan to fix that soon.

I believe that's PRE American Classic, but their top of the line at the time. I have the same era Weather Warrior in 243, no accu trigger, but a great shooter with a fixed 4 power scope. Synthetic stock isn't pretty, but it's very accurate and the trigger's light and crisp, also blind magazine. I'm sure he'll be very happy with it.

SP, I can't tell you how envious I am. That fine Model 99 is a beautiful example of something I've wanted for many years. Can't hunt anymore, but I'd still love to have one to pass on to my son and his three boys.

This is a 14 American Classic in 250-3000. It has a removable box magazine and an Accu Trigger. I'm not sure if the Classic came in other configurations or not.


1899 Savage saddle ring carbine in 303 Savage.

1920 Savage in 250-3000

1899 Savage in 303 Savage custom stocked by my father.

a few more 99 Savages.

A nice 99 Savage "R" in 300 Savage

219 Savage in 22 Hornet

1917 Savage in 380

1907 Savage in 32acp

The same 32 with a couple of single shot 22 model 101s.
I guess you could say I'm a Savage guy.

2011 my wife bought a 114 American Classic Limited in 338 WM, very nice. I have a few 10's,110's that shoot very well in cals from 223-338WM all are (were) fine guns, most have hvy bbl, after market triggers, stocks and have been frozen. Of the dozen or so all have shot very well for the set up they were in. I have never had a bad one, but they do like clean barrels. Be Safe,

I picked up a 10FCM Scout around a year ago. I left it open-sighted, and the accu-trigger is fantastic. That's my only experience with Savage, but my gut feeling is that their rifles are under-appreciated compared to the more "name" brands.

I have a few. Way back I bought a 110 in 7 mag. I was young and a new reloader. I shot woodchucks and targets with that gun. I hunted deer with it, but never shot one. After a while when cleaning it I could feel the erosion in the barrel ahead of the chamber. Once I could feel it half way up the barrel I sold it. I must have shot 2 or 3 thousand rounds most of them really hot 115 grain Hollow Points.

Next I bought a Stevens 308 at Wally World for dirt cheap. I replaced the plastic stock with a nice wood one I found. I have been shooting that rifle with cast bullets for years. I got a nice light crisp standard trigger on it.

We shoot hunters silhouette with it. We shoot at the pistol targets with 115 grain Powder coated bullets at 1800 fps. Anybody can shoot this gun. Not much kick at all. Its a blast.

Next is the Saturday morning offhand Rifle match at 100 and 200 yards. I was shooting a a Remington 700 VL in 22-250. I was getting the hang of it, but didn't like using that big of a cartridge to punch holes in paper so I bought a Savage Model 25 Light weight Varmiter 223 with a thumbhole stock. I put a 4.5 to 18 scope with a mill dot reticle and target turrets. What a sweet gun. Its still new, only a few hundred rounds through it. BUT Sweet trigger and accurate. This week I bought some cheap reloads at Dicks. It shoots them better than I expected. 3 shots in 5/8 at 100 consistently. With better stuff it will shoot better. I love it. I shoot it every Saturday morning.

Next I have a Savage model 24 that was a gift from my then wife. This gun was purchased around 1984. Its 222 over 20 gauge. I have shot more partridge, wood chucks and small edible game with that gun than any other I own. Its my meat gun. I shot one running deer at 150 yards with it using a peep sight. Now I load the 222 with 50 grain cast bullets at 1200 fps so I can shoot squirrels and rabbits with it.

Pictures later this evening.

David

I picked up a mid to late 90's 110 in 223 used, that was left handed. It had a plastic stock and a 6x18 cheap scope on it. I'm right handed but my second son is a lefty. Right handed I sighted it in and then shot a 5 shot 3/8" group at 200 yards using Winchester 45 grain ammo. Gave it to #2 son for his 25th birthday along with 2-40 packs of the ammo I'd sighted it for. He sold it a few years later and got a left handed AR. He let a good gun go and got an OK gun instead. They don't teach Marines to use bolt guns anymore!

I have 2 of the Metal stocked BA series Savages, a 10 BAS in 308 and a 110 BA in 338 Lapua. The 308 shoots VERY VERY well. The first 20 were off a rest at 100 yards and went into a hole much smaller than a dime. At 600 yards, If I read the wind right, my loads do 2", at 1000 I get around 4-6". The 338 is a good shooter, I have trouble managing the recoil follow through. On my best day with it, (MLK Day 2012) I shot a 2" 3 shot group at 500 from prone and a Sinclair bi-pod. I usually get closer to 3/4 to 1.5 MOA groups. I have one of the Savage Model 12 target rifles (RH bolt, LH ejection port, single shot) in 223. With 75 grain Burger hand loads I get 3.5" at 1000 yards. Yes, modern Savage rifles will shoot well. If that trigger on yours won't do the job, there are several easy to install (just drop in) triggers that don't cost more that $100. A good scope is the next thing to get, don't waste money on junk, because they will make your rifle shoot that way! I'm not saying you have to buy a $4000 Schmidt & Binder Tactical monster. A Sightron, Burris or Nikon are good for accurate starters. (I spend as much or more on the scopes than I do on the rifles.) Ivan

Default Nothing Savage about Savage

They made fine guns. I regret allowing several 99Fs to slip through my restless hands.

The Savage 110 may not be as slick or as well-regarded at the classic pre-64 Winchester Model 70 or the Remington 700 but they are fine, accurate firearms and Savage owners need not apologize to anyone.

My thanks to all of you who posted photos of their beloved Savages.

Those 99's sure are pretty.
Couple more here - Tho none of the older ones.
And no pics yet of my "new" project gun - a Savage Model 24, .22lr over .410. I thought this one would make the perfect bunny buster.

I just picked up this 93 Savage in 22 Magnum. For an inexpensive rifle, fit and finish are quite good, and it seems like it's going to shoot well.

I have a savage Model 111, Accu-trigger and plastic stock. Got it because all the reviews said they are very accurate. Mine doesn't heat up very well! First shot from a cold barrel is dead on then they start walking toward 10 o'clock. by the fourth round I am about 4" from the 10 ring. Have found a spot in the bluing at the front of the stock where it has been rubbing. tried to file the stock down but is still rubs the marker off. The stock is very flexible. Been thinking about a walnut stock. they're prettier anyway. Well at least the first round is always on the mark. That's the one that counts!

gregintenn,

Where do I start regarding your post? That group looks great with that .250-3000. What was the range? Great caliber.

That Model 1920 is one hell of an exceptional rifle. I handled one recently but couldn't afford it. It would be right at home leaning up against a tree in safari camp next to the H&Hs and Rigbys. It is that nice of a rifle and design. Perfect for light skinned plains game.

Quite a nice collection of 99s. You even have a couple of single shot .22 Savage "revolvers", very cool.

Side note: Many German immigrants and folks of German descent worked at the Savage plant in the early years. Fit, finish, and styling was of the highest order. Note the common use of schnabel forend tips and broad depth of some of the earlier buttstocks.

It was 100 yards, from a bench. For several years, I have had a thing for 99 Savage rifles, and along the way, I discovered some other interesting Savage firearms.

As you can see, my guns are for using, and not collecting dust in a safe.

The 1920 feels like a lightweight 22 rifle, yet it is chambered in 250-3000. Aside from the military style two stage trigger, it is a fine rifle.
Thanks for the complements.

Apologize, my phone/camera died.

Here are a few pictures of my savage rifles.

First it the 308 I bought at wallyworld for cheap with a plastic stock. I traded the plastic for wood. It makes for a nice cast bullet. This one is a 30 cal 115 grain powder coated carbine bullet ahead of 12 grains Red dot 1825 fps. Center targets were shot off the bench. The rest were shot standing off hand at 50 yards.



This is my new model 25. I'm just getting the hang of it.
It has the slickest bolt and 32 oz trigger with no gunsmithing.

Some say its homely. I like it. I shoot the offhand rifle match every saturday with this rifle. Woodchucks are few around here.









I'm a reloader. I bought 150 223 reloads 55 fmj for $42 at Dicks for the brass. I wanted to try them.

This makes blasting 20 ounce water bottles at 100 yards doable.

It will put my handloads in a group like that at 100 yards all day. Still new. I don't even know what it likes. Its a 1 in 9 twist.

This model 25 replaces the Remington 700 VL in 22-250 I was using in the match. Its a pound lighter.

David

My dad gave me this .300 Savage Model 99-G when I was in high school decades ago. It's a takedown with a tapered barrel, shotgun-style butt, checkered pistol grip and forearm. I wouldn't sell or trade it for anything. I love the way the target and sights all come in alignment at once.

Nice thread, I've got an FP110 that my brother bedded/free floated. It shoots 1/2" @ 100. Pre accu trigger gun.

I also have a couple 99's, and always thought the rotary mag was ahead of its time.

I have two Savage rifles and I had my Dad's 1953 Made Savage Model 99 in 300 Savage that I gave to my Grandson who hunts. He took his first deer a Mule deer Doe with it and his first Elk a Cow with it.

I bought these two Savage Model 14/114 American rifles because they had wood stocks and the accu-trigger and both are excellent shooters and have taken deer here in Arkansas. I'm 70 and have always loved wood rifle stocks and the fancier the better.

Here's the 1955 Savage model F marked "Featherweight" .243 I always post when Savages pop up here. My dad carved the stock in the early 60s. This is the first center fire rifle I ever shot. Note the full fore end on this very light rifle. Below that is my 1948 Model EG Model 99 in .300 Savage.

I guess I am indirectly a Savage guy. I have this beautiful Anschutz .22 Sporter imported by Savage. It shoots scary accurate and every one who shoots it loves it. The trigger is perfect!

Got my first Savage about a week ago. Picked up a model 11 FXP3 300 WSM for $160.00. Don't know what I got, but seems like a decent deal. Its about 10 years old but in great shape, and shot very little. Looking forward to taking it to the range.

The savage model 25 with the thumbhole stock posted earlier.



5 shots Winchester 55 gr sp.


PMC factory ammo will shoot better than the first picture. Not much time to work with my own reloads yet.

Enjoyable thread I really like old 99's but some of the new rifles are awesome shooters right out of the box .

Default Axis II

I got my son a Savage Axis II in .270 a month or so ago. Great gun, comes with the accu trigger and they skipped the cheap no name scope and rings on the Axis I to use a Weaver scope and Weaver mounts. I got it out the door for $360 and it even came with a $50 rebate - $310 total. Shoots great and prefers 130 grain but it heats up fast.

It is youth rifle here and my son took it out today for his first deer hunting trip with a gun.
