Hi all. I recently purchased a 99E (in .308 Win) in good condition from a long-time friend that had belonged to his uncle. From posts on this forum I have determined it to be of 1965 vintage, plain stock, and sans round counter. A question I do have about it under the model designation on the receiver boss is the letter "C". What does this designate?
My only other Savage is a 1st generation Axis (also in .308 Win.) in which I installed a Timney trigger. This is my primary hunting rifle.
Hey Curt, welcome to the forum. What state do you live in and what do you hunt?
Welcome aboard
Thanks.
I'm from the Pittsburgh area and hunt deer in western PA. As I am recently retired I hope to broaden the species I hunt.
Along with my grandkids we enjoy punching paper and ringing steel at a local club. My lever collection includes a Marlin-Glenfield in 30-30, and a couple Henrys, one in .22 and a Big Boy in .44 mag.
I've been looking for a 99 for a few years after shooting another friend's '56 99F and the 99E was offered to me after deer season ended. I realize it's not the most collected model but it has had good care and shoots well.
