Walnut crotch wood in the butt. Forend appears more straight grained. MB

Nice job, custom shapes and checkering. I'd be interested to know who is still doing this quality of stock work for hire.

Check out this butt plate. I'm new to the 99, but I had never seen one like this.

I'm with some such rifles wearing that stock pattern, mostly bolt actions. To me the presentation a bit disproportionate. Yet to admire them as, for the most part, fifties & sixties vintage 'era pieces'.. Yours is indeed nice & a handsome Savage! The butt plate itself is super! The installation fitment, as work of art! My take Best & Stay Safe! John

Thank you for sharing that info. I'm reading about Niedner now.

Beautiful work who ever did it. Crotch walnut for sure. Know a Winchester collector who had some Model 70's and 94's with that same type wood. See rifles and shotguns at gun shows once in a while with that type of wood. Usually very $$$$. I do like that butt plate. The Monte Carlo style is different, not something normally seen on a 99, but neither is that wood or butt plate. What model is the frame and what caliber.

And the screws arent indexed! With such attention to every other detail, those protruding screwheads are a puzzlement to me.

Just found mine.. same basic shape, but the cross-hatching and screwholes are different. Mine appears to be a pre-64 Winchester model 70 buttplate. So not exactly the same, sorry.
