Wow! That Savage 99 is exactly what I was after when I bought my 308MX. If I saw one for sale today in that condition, caliber, and model I would certainly be all over it but...[Back to real life] When I saw my first 308MX I couldn't get my wallet out quick enough. I have hunted it for two seasons now and it is the only center fire rifle I currently use anywhere other than the range. I've got plenty of safe sitters and there is a lot of pleasure in owning them but when I'm actually putting the boots on the ground the Marlin is the rifle that gets put in the truck.

It is among the most accurate new rifles I have ever owned which I really didn't expect. Factory ammunition is fine with me as I don't expect to improve on it in any significant way (I reload for everything else) and it's no big deal to lay in a life time supply of the factory stuff. Maybe not a bad idea anyway considering the upcoming regime change.

Glad I bought one and I've carried it a lot of miles over the last two years.
