One of my favorites, mainly because of the way it came to me. LGS fella had an old guy wanting to get rid of some guns. There were 2 on the list that were 99's. They were only listed as 99 in 300 and 99 in 358....well, we all know where they stayed.

In the gun pictured, a 99EG in 358 Win, not pristine, but no cracks, and blueing was decent. Still had original sights. Circa 1957.

Had a note in the butt that the old guy bought the gun in MN for $350. Dated in 1983. I made another note for when I purchased it and with price. My favorite "find" actually found me...... cool

Still waiting to draw blood. Hopefully this year. Set with a Leupold
M8 6x36 on it. Will be using the silvertip ammo.
