TomA - the original point of this thread was to discuss 99s with least desirable characteristics so as to identify potential bargains for new guys. This 99 seemed to fit that bill. I have an even crapier looking 99E in .308 that will still kill game as good as anything else. While we all know the fault of these rifles I do think a meaningful discussion on them as entry level firearms is something well worth doing. And, as in everything else, "caveat emptor." Or at least check the damn thing out before you put your money down.
