This is close, no pistol grip, but it is a 25-35 with half round/half octagon, tang peep, takedown...

Spoken like a true Savage 99 head case. GW If an injury has to be done to a man it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared. MACHIAVELLI

I do the same thing by putting my good rifles in a soft case with a Ruger label on it, you know that no one will steal it...

[img:left][/img] Since this is the Savage forum, I bought this 99A 250 new back in the mid 70's and still own it. it's been a really great deer rifle despite being post mil.Might be a little light for moose/elk but i would use it if it was all I had.
