I have several post war R's, what's your question. The R has a wide rounded forearm. The EG has a Schnable forearm. The 50's F has a not as wide, feather weight, round forearm.
Try posting in the Vintage Savage/Stevens/Fox Firearms sub-forum at the bottom of the Savage/Stevens Firearm boards section, there are several topics there about the 99.
