My photographer and I will be shooting photos of rifles to be included in the Savage 99 book at Savage Fest. We'll credit the owner and use the serial number in the book with the owner's permission.
The guns we need are:
1) 1895 Half octagon. Rick if you can bring your rifle we need to reshoot it.
2) Caliber .30 marking on an early 30-30. These markings are usually faint and the photos we have so far aren't book quality.
3) Barrel address Style 4A per Murray's book.
4) Barrel address Style 5 per Murray's book.
5) Early 99DL with 24" barrel and hand checkering.
6) Early (1961?) uncheckered 99E with stained fruitwood stock.
7) 1960's Savage scope with Savage mounts and rings mounted on a rifle, preferably a 99E/S.
8) Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation commemorative rifle.
9) We can also use any peculiar variations.
My second book will be on engraved 1895's, 1899's and 99's. This book will also include special checkering, carved stocks, etc. If we have time we'll photograph any of this that is available.
Ron Coburn has sent me some emails to read to you guys at SF. He won't be able to attend but is interested in attending a future Savage Fest. He's sending photos of his Savages for us to display at SF this year.
I'm looking forward to meeting you guys in person. David
