I think it may be the most I've had to pay for any of my rifles. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving.. Find at www.savagelevers.com

My son and I are going to build a new shooting bench at our ranch this weekend and shoot this one a little.

Murray's book got me started collecting 99's but as I got deeper into collecting I realized he had repeated a lot of catalog errors and omitted rifles such as the "Perris Special" and Montreal Home Guard musket and of course everything after his last revision in 1985. I'm not knocking his book. He did the best he could with the resources available to him. The internet made it possible for me to quickly access people all around the world who contributed a great deal to the book. David wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

For me it would be nice to know 3 things about this rifle: What year it was made,what bluing process produced the blue on the barrel,and a good picture of the front sight. I'm guessing a rust blueing process where you card off the rust produced by Brownells Rust Blues,in a steam tank,and definately pre WWI manufacture. Any ideas? Nice Gun too!
