Thanks for the input. the 99eg is the closest comparison i can find without an exact stamp on the gun.

According to this reference, http://www.savage99.com/models.htm, i may have a 99g,99r or 99eg, due to the pistol grip with checkering.

Can you think of any other way I can narrow down the exact model so if I were to sell i would be better educated? This is very confusing, does it make sense to contact savage directly, too?

Are there any great and accurate pricing guides out there (free?)? is this site reliable? http://www.firearmspriceguide.com/guns/search/savage%20/orderby/model/desc/60

If so, I would love to find the exact model and be able to use it.

Thanks again
