I've found a Savage 99 here in South Africa that the owner wants to sell.
I really like this idea of a lever action in 308 win for hunting.
This particular rifle was rebarreled with a musgrave barrel, but the nagging question is what was the original calibre 300 savage or 308 win.
It is an EG model with serial 5052xx indicating it was manufactured in 1949.
I have a couple of photos the current owner sent me but none that shows a calibre marking.
What can I lookout for to determine the original calibre?
