When I saw the title I thought you had visited one of the more "interesting" parts of my town.

I would have one of those if they didn't fetch crazy money when I'm in the room.

Great little guns. Top one looks like the wider grip of a 1917, but no matter. Enjoy!

1917 and 1907. Now you need a 1915 hammerless, and a 101 to make a set.

I have a very basic mod 110 rifle. All good design features for a reasonable price.

The Savage Model 99 is a lovable deer rifle. They were not the best rifles for reloaders to spend Saturdays at the range with but even the Winchester Model 70 .270 WCF advocate Jack O'Connor deer hunted with a Savage 99. The Savage Model 170 pump rifle was another lovable deer rifle. They usually grouped tighter than Remington pump rifles and did that at half the cost. The Savage 110 rivaled far more expensive bolt actions for accuracy. That made 110s lovable for Saturdays at the range.

While Savage's .32 pocket pistols are interesting historical artifacts they must require a more loving owner than me.

Your correct on the top one being a Model 1917, I did a little research,and was not aware of the difference, thanks for the heads up.

Savage Model 10 HB... Love it with 110gr bullets.
Those are nice Savage pistols you have there sir.

Savage had some of the cutest ads for their pistol back in the days.

Ladies might find the tone slightly patronizing today, although any of my female friends I've shown these to thought they were hilarious.

My late uncle had a Savage M-1917. It felt good in my 12 year old hand.

"Ten Shots Quick" was the sales slogan for these little jewels way back when.

There was also a book written about them with the same title. I still have a 1905 in .32, about as pristine as they come. It's my "bathroom" gun. Made like a Swiss watch. I doubt if anyone could afford to make a pistol with that degree of quality and precision today.

Those look great, I really like the grips on the 1917. All the Savages I have owned were very accurate, and nothing I have comes to your shoulder as sweet as a Featherweight 99.

I have only one Savage rifle, a 1920s-era Model 99 takedown in .303 Savage. The only problem is ammunition which is very difficult to find, but it's simple to form workable cases from .30-30 brass. Ballistics are essentially identical, but the .303 Savage case has a longer neck and a slightly larger diameter base. The factories usually loaded a 190 grain .308 bullet that had a reputation for deep penetration in large game. Many believe the .303 Savage and the .303 British are the same cartridge, but they are not. Not even close. Over the years, I have accumulated about 100 original .303 cases and have formed probably twice that many from .30-30 brass.

Most definitely a Savage Model 99 in my future, one of my must have rifles. I reload so ammo can be made by me. I need to start collecting old 303 Savage brass though.

What I always do to reformed .30-30 brass is to wrap two turns of 1/4" wide masking tape around the case base just above the rim. It acts as a case centralizer in the chamber and allows uniform case expansion upon firing. After the first firing, just remove the tape. I do the same thing when making 6.5x55 Swedish brass from .30-'06 or .270 cases, as the 6.5mm case has a slightly larger base diameter.

I love savage as well in my opinion you can spend much more on a rifle and not get much more for your extra dollars

I have always been a long distance shooter and have owned several big name high dollar rifles, but back in 1995 I bought my first modern savage it was a 110fp tactical in 7mm rem mag, that gun is scary accurate and I shot a lot of super tight groups at distance with it

that led me to buy a model 10fp tactical in 308 because of ammo cost, both those pre accutrigger rifles are in the safe now with a 12 fp accutrigger tactical in 223, and Saturday I picked up another savage lnib model 12 vlp dbm in 308, stainless, 26" brl, and I am hoping it will keep up with the rest of the family, add that to a 17wsm B mag heavy stainless target and I have gotten bitten by the savage bug as well
I got rid of everything else except a Winchester pre 64 30-06 target model that I just cant turn loose of

and I added my first ever sabve pistol Saturday when I picked up one in a bag for $25

I have quite a few Savage firearms in my safe. Every one of them is an excellent example of gun making for not too much money. I have a 12 LRPV in .223 that will shoot 5" groups at 500 yards all day long. I have 2 of their .22's one made in the early 50's and the other around 2008. Both are very accurate. I also have a 110 in 30.06 that is a fine rifle.

But the LRPV I have is an exceptional shooter. It has the Target AccuTrigger which adjusts down to 6 oz.. It's a single shot with a bull barrel (both making for a stiff rifle) along with a very heavy bolt. It has the strange feature of being a left hand feed with the bolt on the right. That is a perfect design for shooting from a bench or table when shooting varmints. It is a varmint rifle but people use them for target shooting a lot. Here's a video of one very similar to mine shooting a 1.5" group at 450 yards. I've actually shot better groups than the one in the video and I did it with 12 rounds. I happened to come across the perfect load for the rifle that day. Too bad it doesn't shoot that well all the time but it shoots amazingly well.

Nice pistols. Regarding Savage; I don't own one, but my old varmint hunting/rancher friend owns a 1960s' vintage Model 110 in .243 with an old Weaver scope. I own several varmint rifles; Remington, Winchester, and Sako. But shooting his many times over the years, I've never experienced such a smooth bolt action as the 110 action
