Snagged one of my best deals today, a really nice Savage 99 takedown model in .300 Savage. Not sure if its a "G" model or not, but it has a 24" barrel, cartridge counter on the side, and safety on the lever. Serial number is 6-digits, 319***, which (I believe) indicates a 1929 date of manufacture. I previously had a TD in 250-3000 from the 20's, but I think this one is a little nicer.
What kind of information can you give me on the rifle? Barrel lockup is very tight, enough so that I haven't been able to remove the barrel. Any tips on getting the barrel removed, or should I even bother? It would certainly make cleaning the barrel a lot easier!
