new to the site, not to savage99. took my first deer with my pap's ol' 99 and had a soft spot for them ever since. did a wood furniture restoration on a series A chambered in 300sav (rough dated to late'60s early 70s) i found a few years back at a local gun shop. looked like someone left some cleaning solvent on the stock/forearm before they put it in the safe and the finish/stain was rough. it was factory drilled/tapped so i put a simons 2x7 on it even though its a new scope i think it doesn't look out of place.

took the restored series A out for a walk in the big woods of the pa allegheny national forest this past deer season and we got the job done.

A few years back I seen an ad for a 99 in 30/30 Winchester. I grew up in PA and saw a lot of 99s in 300 Sav. A few less in 250-3000, 243, 308, and 284. I knew there were 22 HP, 303 Savage, and 30-30 but I never had my hands on them. I was playing with 30/30s at the time because I was shooting cast bullets, had a good load for our 340 and I wanted to get a lever gun to play with. This 1899 made in 1901 was about ideal because it was in good shape, not altered and had good sights. I took that load that shot well out of the 340 and tried it out of the 1899 at 50 yards. I really like this ole girl.
