Did you send a PM? I don't have it.

My dad left us 29 total 1899's and 99's. Several were my grandfathers before he died several years ago. We have quite the collection of Savage 23's too. My dad was a big time Stevens and Savage guy.

My grandfather gave me my first 99 in 300 Savage when I was 12. We had a set of steel hog silhouette targets he made. He said if I could knock one over at 100 yards off hand he would give me the rifle. The deal was I would never sell the rifle if he gave it to me. He knew I wouldn't miss. I killed my first deer with it that year.
