Thanks for the feedback, I haven't even considered the 300 savage. I know a shop that has some of them, I will go see how they handle.
Ammo availability would be nice but I usually reload or buy it from a fairly well stocked gun shop that I am sure has it because I have seen it before.
If you find a couple of 99's you like, snap a picture or two of them and post them or PM them to me. I'll be glad to help you identify the model and any after market alterations. There were 30+ different models sold, the 99EG is the most common but there are plenty of other variations. The 99 is a classic, if you've never held one or hunted with one they are a very well designed rifle that carries and aims very well.
