Wanted a 99 the first time I saw one in person(1994, not very many of them in my area) when I was 19, THAT was a 99c...but this one is MINE and that makes all the difference.

I am not sure of the model number without looking, but i have a 99 lighweight in .308, looks unfired. It dates to that vintage. I bought it off an old guy in a retirement community. I think it sat in a closet for all those years.
I keep thinking about putting a scope and sling swivels on it. Then i take it out and go, naw.
