You need to come to an Alabama gun show. We have huge shows with hundreds of vendors. Just to make 1 pass up and down every row you walk over a mile. Best part is they don't give a dang, a crap, or even a heck if you bring your carry gun in. It's welcomed and encouraged
The F serial number is a definite plus. They have a very nice adjustable trigger, when Savage started using G prefix the triggers got cheaper also until the Accutrigger. I have 2 older Savage rifles with the F prefix and love them

Until you get a replacement for that butt pad, you can treat it using rubbing alcohol. The alcohol helps strip away the degraded rubber. The reason it's sticky is that the rubber is losing its Vulcanization. It's reverting to its more natural state (it's synthetic rubber, not natural rubber, but anyhow...) A cloth soaked with rubbing alcohol can help remove the degraded rubber.
Plastic and rubber do not always go well together, in the long run, has seen a lot of cases were they fuse and deform, but these has not been high grade materials.
I've heard that soaking certain types of rubber in silicone spray lubricant can restore/preserve its structure. I have done this with semi-brittle rubber grommets with some success.
Miss the good ole gun shows, nowadays I try to watch yard sales, garage sales type for a descent deal on a fire stick. Glad ya found one you like, good shooting and gods speed to the WTW FAMILY AND FANS 👍🇺🇸
I'm the same. I was a gunshow roady back in the day. But they got just silly on their prices. I have found a few good deals on guns at yard sales. I picked up a really nice Astra 22 revolver for $75 awhile back. But I've seen some guns marked up just crazy ! Lol. I guess the worst I seen was a really beat up, really worn out Marlin model 60. They had it priced at $250 ! As I was looking it over, an older lady told me the price and asked me if I wanted it. I laid it back down and very kindly told her they were selling new for $129. She said "Oh no. It's worth more than that!". As I went to leave she hollered at me "If you want it, I'll take $200!". I just smiled and waved at her and said "I better not".
Not just Tennessee gun shows. Arkansas does not allow loaded weapons at shows either. Hard to find anything reasonable here. Dial a trade sometimes can be good. I say nothing unless asked. Many just dont ask.
My guess was 300 Weatherby till you said RUM And that’s very similar to my setup on my REM 700 BDL 7mm mag - tall mounts with iron sights. Love it!!!! And ain’t nothing prettier than a wood stock, piece of art!!! I don’t like synthetic stocks, even though I own a couple. 😝
Reminds me of the days when all the rifles in the gun store racks had wood stocks. Some real beauties. AR-style rifles weren’t very common in those days.
Wow ! sweet alright! Same ball park as the old 416 ! Now that would sort out those wild bull camel out west ! Big shout out from down here in Oz! Thanks mate!
Go to the big show in Louisville Kentucky sometimes, bring lots of 💰, but there's everything there you could want , from antiques to brand new , mussel loaders to mini guns .
We have two ATM’s at our local, rural gun show. Nobody hardly does credit cards, and the hundred dollar bills are really flying. Hamilton Montana is a pretty happening place for a State that barely has a million residents. I totally agree about having iron sights. Absolutely!
I wanted to get a .300 RUM, but everything I read about it was that it was a barrel burner, so I opted for a .300 WSM instead, which I love! Only problem is it has feeding issues, but you can't get a V8 engine that gets 80 MPG, so you take what you can get 🙂
If you just use it for hunting and a few shots here and there you will never burn out a barrel. A 300 RUM probably has about a 1500 round barrel life so even if you shot it 30 times a year it would last 50 years.
@@Nick-sx6jm True, but depending on what you are hunting, you generally want as little damage to the usable meat as possible. A .243 will kill a deer, but so will a .338 Lapua. I just want to hunt a deer, I don't need to send a message to its family too.
@@MutarFuqueer Yeah if your never going to shoot much past 150 yards and only hunt deer or smaller something like a .243 will do just fine. The magnums are nice for longer shots and elk though.
Your bang on with the gun information but the value is more! My grand pop jeez had 780+ rifles when I grew up , I showed him this he has every caliber you can think of I asked him after I estimated the price and we both agreed with a solid $1700 resale price as is, without the scope, the walnut stock especially for anything made over 10-15 years ago are selling for $300-600 more depending on condition, ALSO IM IN CANADA!! our dollar is different but just out here that’s what we both agree that rifle would sell for no problem to someone who collects older big boom sticks lmao
Also forgot to add the F stamped on it really helps they started stamping them with a G I believe with cheaper parts I don’t know about all that stuff but he said congratulations on a beautiful rifle and gorgeous find!!
Glad you were not injured. A local gun shop has a large and constantly grow collection of firearms the were destroyed by shooting reloads and incorrect ammo through them. They use to keep the on display as a warning. “ THESE GUNS WERE DESTROYED BY RELOADS” Did you check head space or have it checked? Did you examine that spent round you fired for signs of over pressure? Did you run a cleaning rod down the bore to make sure it was clean and free of any obstructions? Did you tighten up or make sure scope rings and bases are not loose?
I ALWAYS find something when I don't have any money. Then again, I almost never have any money. Somebody give me some dang money! Good find. Look forward to the clay block destruction at 150 yards.
Wtw, beautiful rifle. I love those classic rifles with beautiful wood stocks. Savage is another New England gun company, actually from Massachusetts. It’s funny how such a liberal commi state has so many gun companies! here’s a few- smith and Wesson, Savage, Iver Johnson, Kahr, Springfield Armory, with Ruger and Sig Sauer located just up the road in my state of NH.
Miss when gunshows were good. Used to actually have cool stuff that wasnt overpriced. I have a 28 Nosler in a 110 ultralite which is just a 300 RUM necked down and man it kicks.
@@leifsorensen1749 Yeah Nosler made it more efficient with a sharper shoulder so its actually a tad faster than the 7 RUM with less capacity. They also shortened it to fit a standard length action.
@@leifsorensen1749 Pretty close just a sharper shoulder angle and shortened a few mm. They are even within 50 fps of each other with the same grain bullets. My whole point with the comment was saying I understand how much recoil the RUM has because I have the 28 Nosler in a sub 6 pound rifle so it probably kicks more than his RUM.
You need to advance that scope a bit further forward; the 300 UM come back hard and quick! My wife got me a stainless Rem in 300UM, and it is the most accurate rifle I have! But, it makes you pay for it on the shoulder. I bought several boxes of Rem 180 gr ammo years ago. I might send you one! Keep up the great videos!
I love the rifle and the fact that it has iron sights, that's a rarity these days! The 300 Rem Ultra Mag has been around since 1999 and I estimate the rifle was made in the early to mid 2000s because it's rare to see iron sights on most brands of newer bolt action rifles. Synthetic stocks are more common these days also, and that is a beautiful wood stock. I have a Savage 112 target rifle in the 25-06 Remington, with a heavy stainless steel fluted barrel, a beautiful laminated stock, and a high powered Simmons scope. I purchased it new from a gun store in early 2001, and it is very accurate with the loads that I use. You can never go wrong with a Savage rifle.
I have numerous savages. By far one of my most accurate guns out of the box is my savage 110 in 270 winchester. 4 shot groups you can cover with a quarter at 100 yrds..
Good Deal ! Pachmar makes a good recoil pad the decelerator. I call mine on the 300 wsm "the cushion ". Save that brass, it is expensive. P.S. you don't have to load it to the max. I find a powder with the least amount of psi pressure in the Lee or Lyman manuals for comparison, that gives me first, the accuraticy and speed I need. And that doesn't beat the gun up, and my shoulder. Thanks for the good content you give us.
I really like the rifle! Somehow I think you may have some fun finding ammo for it. We haven’t had a gun show in Memphis in over 2 years. The county stopped letting them hold them in county owned buildings. The last one was held in the Shriner’s Temple. The space was smaller and all of the better vendors didn’t come.
I bought a brand new Remington 700 in 300 Ultra Mag when they first came out! They had three different Factory loads a low power a mid-range and a maximum power ammo!! I had a 10x40x50 scope! The first three rounds I shot gutted the scope out! I was using the maximum load ammo! I had planned to shoot at a thousand yards with this animal! I took the gun back to Shields where I bought it and ask ed recommendations for a good scope! I purchased a Leopold it came with free mounting so they put it on for me! I bought two more boxes of the high-end ammo it was crazy at that time cuz they were about $75 for 20 rounds! When we got back out to the farm we ran a box through it and couldn't find a good zero! Siding in at 200 yard zero it was all over the target? We were cleaning the bore every three rounds! On our second box of ammo we noticed skid marks on the scope it was moving through the mounts! I returned to Shields and had them look at it and check the torque they said it was right on? But the scope had moved a half an inch and my brand new Leopold was scratched up took the finish off it where the mount clamped on! I was so pissed after spending over $2,000 in gun scope and parts and ammo that I told him I've had enough!! I traded it off that day for a armor light 243 with a 24-in stainless steel bull barrel and Bushnell tactical scope! It was used he threw in a box of shells and I traded even up! I went home shot of five round group at 200 yards and they were all within the 3/4 of an inch! That AR has been attack driver ever since! PS I do miss the 300 rum I had such high hopes for it! Bing bangs and Bo o Lots are fun fun!
Man I get tense like that too about balancing my budget and all the official type crap, it’s fer the birds! Thanks for the content as always WTW! I wanna see u take an elk with that beast caliber one day!
I went to a gun show last month and it was the same rule: No loaded firearms on your person. Of course, people bought firearms and corresponding ammo in the gun show, sooooo................... yeah. Congratulations on your new addition. W_T_W_ 👍🏼
Adam That Savage has beautiful wood. You are welcome to come up to North Central Ohio anytime, to one of the shows I set up at, or one that I attend. Up here they are generally $5 at door the most is $7. Also most of the fairgrounds do have an ATM.
Sadly it seems every time the gun show comes to my hometown- I don’t have any “fun” money. 😂 I may need to start a UA-cam channel to feed my gun addiction too. 😆
6:12 hahahaa! I’d open up the barrel channel a tad, instal some aluminum pillars, do a nice glass bed job with some marine Tex and have a beautiful classic to take to the woods. As always, really enjoyed your video.
I had a savage 112FSAK in 300 rum. It was stainless with a muzzle break. Limited production run as well. Kind of wish I’d have kept it but it was one of those rifles I never pulled out of the safe.
WHO_TEE_WHO; While they’re not the only options available, the Browning X-Bolt and Remington 700 are probably the two most common bolt action 300 RUM rifles. Fierce Firearms and Christensen Arms also manufacture some nice bolt action rifles in .300 Ultra Mag. Ruger and Savage also manufactured rifles in that chambering at one point, so it’s possible to find them on the secondary market from time to time.
So glad you got a rum I hope you like it you might want to invest in a muzzle break they can kick like a mule but if it doesn’t bug ya the gun is beautiful the way it is.
Looks like a very nice rifle! I like you being real and down to earth. You can talk to me about stuff anytime also. I want to be your friend. I'll pray for you brother! May Jesus bless you!
That’s a pretty gun. I usually like the bottom door mag well or mag style but that wood is beautiful. I actually like the fully top loading for this. I’d take the scope and base off, put the thread protecting screws back in and run it iron sights. Would make one hell of a light deer gun. Super fast w irons too. You can easily put two in a white tail with good iron sights . Short actions would be better but this is a powerhouse for sure. Hunting in the south east it’s usually close quarters combat.
I’m too old and busted up for calibers with that much rock and roll. I loved my 338 Win mag Ruger and shot it a lot. I don’t know what You spent but put a nice butt plate on it. It’s one of those useful, show off rifles. Pretty and probably very accurate. Take any deer I’ve ever heard of. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
I built a 300 rum about 15 years ago or more. My son has it now. It's a pretty nice gun. I didn't shoot it much because even reloading it was expensive. I did take a couple deer with it. It definitely killed them very dead. Sometimes before they knew they were dead. Lol have fun with it, and thanks for another great video.
A Savage, if it’s old, can be a very accurate rifle! That’s a boom stick for sure! My old 30-06 was a tack driver but my brand new titanium shoulder couldn’t handle the recoil impulse after surgery. So I gave it to my oldest son.
Love iron sights on my rifles. I just got a Remington 742 in 30.06. I put some high see through rings on it so I can use my irons at close range. Last year I took a doe at about 25 yards, and it was not fun with a 3-9 scope. Of course I had my scope dialed to 9 when I saw her, and didn’t want to waste time and dial it down.
When I bought my Savage 110 I had to order it from a local shop to get one with iron sights. I did find this info on the 110, the 111 should be about the same: "F" prefix with a serial number higher than F498821 = Nov. 1st, 1995 through the end of 2002
What s beauty. !!! Ive been to gun show 3 times up hear in Gray Station Tn but I did notice an atm there and also that gun moved you more than any other that I’ve seen lol ( :

Just leaving Tennessee and the Spartan Ranch ! Loved everything about the hunt and the state!
The F serial number is a definite plus. They have a very nice adjustable trigger, when Savage started using G prefix the triggers got cheaper also until the Accutrigger. I have 2 older Savage rifles with the F prefix and love them
I remember when it was first marketed with 3 different power level loadings. Deer sized game, African game, and T-Rex.

@@luvtahandload7692 looool
Thank you for saying what we were all thinkin :)
Until you get a replacement for that butt pad, you can treat it using rubbing alcohol. The alcohol helps strip away the degraded rubber. The reason it's sticky is that the rubber is losing its Vulcanization. It's reverting to its more natural state (it's synthetic rubber, not natural rubber, but anyhow...) A cloth soaked with rubbing alcohol can help remove the degraded rubber.
Thanks for the tip
Good to know. Thanks
Plastic and rubber do not always go well together, in the long run, has seen a lot of cases were they fuse and deform, but these has not been high grade materials.
Thanks Dave
I've heard that soaking certain types of rubber in silicone spray lubricant can restore/preserve its structure. I have done this with semi-brittle rubber grommets with some success.
A functional work of the gunsmiths art, truly a thing of beauty. Well wear to you, as we say in Ireland 😎

That is a really pretty rifle. That wood and blued steel is just sexy. That 300 RUM, as you said, definitely has some punch behind it.
A quarter mile is almost a little close for taking Antelope with the 300 RUM. Beautiful wood too.
Like the wood finish. Should test it against some of the other big calibers. See where it stands
Great gun. Great wood. Too much recoil for this old man though. Can’t find many good rifles at gun shows anymore.
Great video. Keep up the good work.

Adam That Savage has beautiful wood. You are welcome to come up to North Central Ohio anytime, to one of the shows I set up at, or one that I attend. Up here they are generally $5 at door the most is $7. Also most of the fairgrounds do have an ATM.
I was bidding on an ole 110 and lost! Love a classic Savage
I love it
Oh my, beautiful rifle! I'm super jealous. I was wanting wood stock when I bought mine but, they are few and far between now.
Sadly it seems every time the gun show comes to my hometown- I don’t have any “fun” money. 😂 I may need to start a UA-cam channel to feed my gun addiction too. 😆
6:12 hahahaa! I’d open up the barrel channel a tad, instal some aluminum pillars, do a nice glass bed job with some marine Tex and have a beautiful classic to take to the woods. As always, really enjoyed your video.
It's pretty! Can't wait to see what it is.
Hey Randal!
Nice, I have a Savage 45 Super Sporter in 30-06.
They are unique in that they are rear lug locking receiver.
Who Tee Who always keeps it real. Love the content man!
Always appreciate you watching Matt
I had a savage 112FSAK in 300 rum. It was stainless with a muzzle break. Limited production run as well. Kind of wish I’d have kept it but it was one of those rifles I never pulled out of the safe.
WHO_TEE_WHO; While they’re not the only options available, the Browning X-Bolt and Remington 700 are probably the two most common bolt action 300 RUM rifles. Fierce Firearms and Christensen Arms also manufacture some nice bolt action rifles in .300 Ultra Mag. Ruger and Savage also manufactured rifles in that chambering at one point, so it’s possible to find them on the secondary market from time to time.
Before 2003 because no accutrigger and flat back receiver. Nice find my dude!
I've never been to a gun show that allowed a loaded weapon carried in on your person. Georgia and Texas both.
Daggumit
@@WHOTEEWHO utah allows them as long as the building it’s held in isn’t a state or federal building or the building isn’t a no carry building
Missouri, every gun show I've been to requires empty and tagged if you're *open* carrying, but concealed carry they don't care.
Sweet! I just can't find any real deals around here anymore. Happy for you Bro.
It would be great if you speed tested the reloads to some store bought ammo. Cheers
So glad you got a rum I hope you like it you might want to invest in a muzzle break they can kick like a mule but if it doesn’t bug ya the gun is beautiful the way it is.
I'd like to see some precision shots from 1000 yards with that one.
Beautiful wood too!
😍😍😍
Hey WTW can’t wait to see this! 👍🏻
Always appreciate you watching Danny!
Good man, good man , same here I'm with little mamma today too, which is a pleasant break
“You have a gun on you?”
“Uh… yeah the gun I carry on me all the time.”
Lmfao gun show hypocrisy
Savage 111 delux, I had one in .270 Win. Great rifle really consistent accuracy no matter the bullet weight I ran through mine. Good score.
That beast has to be running around 31 ft/lbs recoil moving backwards at around 14/15 feet per second, you do need the limb saver for sure
Good to see you came to my neck of the woods.
Beautiful rifle, BTW
It should have a tacky but pad if not it slips off your shoulder when it goes boom leave it on unless its hardened over ☠️
Looks like a very nice rifle! I like you being real and down to earth. You can talk to me about stuff anytime also. I want to be your friend. I'll pray for you brother! May Jesus bless you!
300 rem rifle.nice setup,made going thru the mud a lot easyer.well done.
Mud was worth it!
Awesome rifle. Congratulations glad you found it. I like to have iron sights on everything.
This northeast Nebraska guy likes a long gun with wood and open sights!
It looks alot like my Interarms 06.
Great find Adam!
Doc
Glad to see you’re taking your kiddo to the gun show! Teach em right!
That’s a pretty gun. I usually like the bottom door mag well or mag style but that wood is beautiful. I actually like the fully top loading for this. I’d take the scope and base off, put the thread protecting screws back in and run it iron sights. Would make one hell of a light deer gun. Super fast w irons too. You can easily put two in a white tail with good iron sights . Short actions would be better but this is a powerhouse for sure. Hunting in the south east it’s usually close quarters combat.
I’m too old and busted up for calibers with that much rock and roll. I loved my 338 Win mag Ruger and shot it a lot. I don’t know what You spent but put a nice butt plate on it. It’s one of those useful, show off rifles. Pretty and probably very accurate. Take any deer I’ve ever heard of. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful rifle! With you 100% on the iron sights on a bolt gun. But Dang!That's a whole lot of gun for deer hunting!
I built a 300 rum about 15 years ago or more. My son has it now. It's a pretty nice gun. I didn't shoot it much because even reloading it was expensive. I did take a couple deer with it. It definitely killed them very dead. Sometimes before they knew they were dead. Lol have fun with it, and thanks for another great video.
A Savage, if it’s old, can be a very accurate rifle! That’s a boom stick for sure! My old 30-06 was a tack driver but my brand new titanium shoulder couldn’t handle the recoil impulse after surgery. So I gave it to my oldest son.
I love it!
That is a beauty !! Love that wood grain 🤩
Love iron sights on my rifles. I just got a Remington 742 in 30.06. I put some high see through rings on it so I can use my irons at close range. Last year I took a doe at about 25 yards, and it was not fun with a 3-9 scope. Of course I had my scope dialed to 9 when I saw her, and didn’t want to waste time and dial it down.
Beautiful rifle and a hard hitting round. Deer hunt for sure but some clay and maby stacked paper plates.
🦌🦌🦌
Recoil looks rather stout, but that's to be expected. Nice find! I could look at that thing all day...
Awesome nice gun you found there Gorgeous wood and enough power to knock a mule over Love to see you take it out to 250 or 300 yd
Beautiful wood. Super powerful round. Congratulations.
Good find. Beautiful wood. Glad you got it. 👍
I love it!
Gotta see how many paper plates, smack some clay and some grouping 💥💥👌
Dad-gummit! That’s a great find!! Congrats!!!
I bought a Tasco 6-24 about 10 years ago for about $105. It get's really dim above 12 power.
Talk to Aaron he's had one for years. Lucky fella., about $7/8 a shot easy. Cheers from down under
Had a savage 110 in 30-06 that looked identical to that. About 20 yrs ago. Paid $260 at a pawnshop. Sold it… biggest regret ever.
That stock is BEAUTIFUL!!
😍😍😍
Nice rifle!! I thought it was a Winchester model 70. A hunting video using this rifle would be worth looking forward to.
thats a fine looking rifle, love the wood grain, looks like it kind of took you by surprise when it fired lol
When I bought my Savage 110 I had to order it from a local shop to get one with iron sights. I did find this info on the 110, the 111 should be about the same:
"F" prefix with a serial number higher than F498821 = Nov. 1st, 1995 through the end of 2002
I had a 700 in RUM, back when you didn't need a 6 figure salary to buy ammo. I love having the loudest bang stick at the range.
What s beauty. !!! Ive been to gun show 3 times up hear in Gray Station Tn but I did notice an atm there and also that gun moved you more than any other that I’ve seen lol ( :
