Agreed, and it is. I turned on my desk lamp and put on my reading glasses to take a very close look. Then while I was looking at the breach stamp the light caught the 300 very vaguely outlined. Can I post a picture from "Use Full Editor". I don't want to mess up and drop it in the wrong bit bucket. Also today I browsed hundreds of pictures and advertisements for early 50s Savage 99. Searching for the "speck" of detail that comes after the ".300 Savage" Turns out it is some sort of moniker. This 99 has lots of oddities. The stock is nice but new to the gun. And I think it was reblued after the engraving because there is blueing in the carving. But its all good I love the rifle for what it is and it will be an heirloom shortly. The bore is nicer condition than my original that I have always taken great care of. That is a really nice .250 3000!
