I got 2 of the 99's. One in 250-3000 and one in 300 savage.  My father gave them to me and he has killed lots of deer with them.

I've got one...it was my first rifle, purchased for $107.50 with lawn mowing money when I was 11 (1985).  Yes, I can remember the price (and the negotiation) like it was yesterday.  The stock had been cut down, so I think their potential buyers were somewhat limited.    

When I grew a few more inches, I bought and finished a new stock for it.  I absolutely love it and it shoots quarter sized groups at 100 yards.  Problem is it drops off the shelf at 200, so I generally hunt with a different rifle these days.  But I'll never get rid of it, and in about 10 years there's a good chance it will also be my son's first rifle.

I've had a couple, one a 99 that someone rebarreled with an 03 springfield barrel.  I shot cast bullets like they were designed for the rifle.  Found out that the rifle had been looted from a mans house after a tornado, he got it back, probly still has , his dad gave it to him.

I also have a Rem 722 in 300 Sav, great little shooter.  I set it up in a walnut 700 ADL stock, works better with a scope.  Haven't blooded this one yet, but it will stay with me a long time.

Ive got one, cant remember what model, but its a pump and has a detachable magazine...pretty cool old gun. Its in the back of the safe, haven't pulled it out for years

I have 2 in Remington 760.  Great shooting guns.  They were my parents, and they both killed a ton of deer and elk.

I've had two, kind of. I had a Contender carbine in 300BS (Bellm Stewart) which is a 307 Win sized in a 300 Savag die; basically a 300 Savage rimmed. Neat caliber but somebody made me a good offer on the barrel so it went home with him.

About 2 weeks ago I picked up a Savage 99E in 300 Savage. I haven't shot it yet but I hope to soon. It seems like great caliber.
