My grandfather owned a pre-60 Savage Model 99 lever job in .300 Savage with a straight stock and no checkering. I like the earlier-vintage 99's with the rotary magazine and round counter. The gun of my grandpa's was sadly lost in a home burglary in 1999. So, I'm on the market of a similar rifle of my own. Gramp's old dearly-departed Savage was on my mind much lately. I just have a hankering to take up hunting deer with such a slick and sweet American classic as that old Savage, not with a scope but just iron sights. I would want factory checkering and pistol grip stock on my Savage. This is one honey of a practical time-honored American woods gun combined with bolt-action rifle slickness in style.
That said, I also want to buy some Woolrich style hunting clothes for Novembers and Decembers. Which boots do you like better: Bean or Herman Survivors?
Does any person here hunt with a Savage 99 and/or wear traditional American deer hunting clothing that has a red/patchwork/stag/plaid design? Which retailers including Johnson Woolen Mills do you buy such clothing from these days?
Seeing this man in this video just makes me want a gun like that (not necessarily a takedown model) and dress like that for a nice deer in America's great woods!! Just old-fashioned fun and simplicity.
