Hello. It has been a while. So long that I had to start a new account. Anyways I picked up a new one back in November and initially I thought it was a 1899A or possibly a transition era gun. It was drilled and tapped and a base was covering the front receiver ring but last night I took the bases off and "Savage Model 99" on the front ring. 26" Barrel - straight butt stock. (No Perch belly) - ramp front sight (that should have been my first clue) - chamber indicater stud - jeweled bolt - 99 lever safety - rifle Cresent butt plate - solid frame, not take down - .300Savage.
I'm thinking it is a 99B now. Can anyone concur?
Thanks in advance.
