I picked up another 99 # 329191 in 300 Savage. It has 24 inch barrel with raised ramp front sight. Crescent butt plate made me assume it was a 99A which are quite scarce in Ontario. The gun looked and felt right as it is in vg condition with perfect bore.
Taking off butt plate I was very surprised to see 300091 on both stock and butt plate.
The fore stock is numbered 329191 and frame is marked "E".
Questions I have are if late 99A rifles were marked differently on the receiver or if E receivers were used as few 99As appear to have been manufactured. Both serial numbers ending in "91" is also an unusual coincidence.
Gun may be moving on!
