yep the savage 99 is by far a much better and safer lever gun and more accurate too. wished I would have met Arthur savage and somehow owned every caliber in a savage 99. that is one heck of a lever gun ! and I am still looking for a 30-30 in a savage 99 ?
Okay, riddle us as to how the 99 (great rifle, btw) is "safer" than the 94 or 336. The 99 lacks the transfer bar safety on all pre-mil versions and unloading is quite often done by racking rounds through the action. Fingers can still quite easily be in the trigger guard and hit the trigger.
