Well I finally joined the "Club" of Savage 99 owners. I got a 99E in 243 factory drilled and tapped for scope mounts and even had the mounts with it. Has the aluminum rotor and no round counter, but seems to be tight and with good function. Everything I have read about these balancing nice appears to be true.

Only question I have is, "Is there anything I need to watch for special to these rifles?" I mean a mechanical weakness that needs special maintenance or anything?

Everything I have read has been great and that they are one of the best leverguns ever, but it seem that every machine, from guns to cars, always has at least 1 flaw.

Thanks for any thoughts or tips you have for this 99 newbie.
