I like the saddleguns, that's a steal at that price.

While you're there, pick one up for me too, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

See page 138 in David's recent book.
B goes from 1973 to 75.

Interesting. I have a 99-A purchased from the original owners widow that included the hang tag and sale receipt dated 10-05-1973. Always wondered what date it was manufactured.

It is hard to find a 99A Saddle gun in 300. I've seen two or three.

The early 99A's made from 1971 to 1975 had the 20" barrel which I think is more desirable in a saddle gun. From 1976 to the end of production they shared the 22" barrel with the other models. You did well at that price. David

That's in good shape for a gun that sees the rain forest. Nice job keeping it sharp.
