Model 99

[MAGNUS]

I see, but deer hunters never complained right..... and the browning BLR forearm is the same isnt it..... wait does that mean the ruger no1 is too?

[Eric in NC]

Right - no two piece stock is free floating. Not necissarily less accurate, just a bit harder to avoid fliers as the barrel heats.

[MAGNUS]

AS the barrel heats..... thank you Eric it might be better using carbon fibre wraped barrels for firearms such as these. Heating one off those would be a task so it would aid in preventing fliers.

I finally put some more money down on the 99R and i took some pics while i was there. Here they are just for you Mad Dog i hope you enjoy.....

If we can figure out how to trade guns from country to country you can have any gun in my collection for that gun!

Hmmm - does that include any octagon barrel 32-40's?? I could probably come up with a similar R for one of those!!

[Mad Dog]

No octagon 32-40 but I've got a round barrel 1899A in 32-40.

Got a 1899C half oct/ half round 38-55 and a 1899B octagon barreled 30-30.

Also a 1899A Short Rifle in 38-55 and an 1899F SRC in 25-35 and an 1899A round barrel in 25-35.

[MAGNUS]

So im guessing you like it ;)

I was very impressed with the tightness of the action but i honestly thought it looked much better when i first saw it. It has a ways to go before i own it which gives us time to work something out.

Oh yeah what DO YOU have in your collection BTW ;D

Here's a pic of my 99A saddle rifle in 250-3000, under it is a 99EG in 243.

My main concern for a trade for this 99R, would be a rifle that was as good mecanically. This 99 feels like a brand new action for that reason i have a reluctancy at the moment to part with. I can tell you now im not interested in the obscure models mentioned, these octagon 32-20's and so forth are not even remotely what im after unless they come with a excellent brand newish action. I understand there are collector values and i dont mean to undermine these, its just not where im at.

[Mad Dog]

Did you get my email?

[MAGNUS]

Nope, where/when did you send it? That is if you mean me

[Mad Dog]

Sent you a p.m. with mine in case I screwed up on yours.

[MAGNUS]

I just put a 99A in .308 on laybuy, serial number D321XXX .......

[Mad Dog]

Ya, givver, it's been modified already anyways with that recoil pad.

[MAGNUS]

Thanks MD. ;)

This is a take down model, but the Shilen select match 6mmPPC short take off bull barrel was reamed out to 6mmBR, which can only be shot single shot in a 99.

The barrel is too fat to allow the for stock to be installed.

The barrel is screwed in hard, with a giant Cresant wrench for an action wrench and the barrel in a barrel vise.
But it is a take down with the interrupted threads on the action.

[Mad Dog]

Thats cool, nobody can say a 99 won't keep up with a bench rest gun now.

I'd take the old forearm and fit it. Sand the inside down and bed it.
