The Model 99-375 Brushgun came with recoil pad, finger groove forearm with studs; the model 99A in 375 Win did not come with a recoil pad (it had a steel butt plate) and did not have studs. Earler in the thread I posted a pic of my Model 99-375 Brushgun with solid recoil pad, and another pic of one with the vented recoil pad.
Another pic: Model 99A on top, Model 99-375 Brushgun on bottom.
I,ve let 2 of them go thru my hands ! something about those newer tang safety guns,they just dont like hanging out with lever safety models !
My guns must not be as snooty as yours, they all seem to get along. They haven't even cleared out the bolt actions yet, but the Remington sure is nervous! grin:

my savages even put up with the odd winchester as long as it wears a lever.

The factory may have put recoil pads on the 99A 375. I only remember seeing two 375, 99A's, the one I own (DOM 1982) and one I saw at the Denver show several years ago. Both had steel buttplates similar to the ones used in the 1940's and '50's.
