got my first 99..G or EG ?
Just got my first 99 and I'm pretty happy with it.
Near as I can tell it's a model G takedown from 1940 in 300 Savage, 24" barrel. I'm pretty sure it's a G as it has the same barrel profile as my buddy's 1899, but mine has the front sight mounted in a ramp that is molded as part of the barrel
the wood is good, the steel is very good and the bore is excellent. It also has factory sling swivels.
The only flaw is that there is a chunk of wood missing from the side of the forestock at the tip. I'm going to attempt my first repair and if I mess it up, I'll be looking for a replacement.
I'll get some pics up when I get it to the range.
I'm thinking of putting a Marbles peep on it as no one seems to make a receiver sight anymore and it's not d&t for scope
