It's a beautiful stock. I'll have to be honest, I'm not taken with the radical Monte Carlo stock designs. 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

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.

Mine appears to be a pre-64 Winchester model 70 buttplate. So not exactly the same, sorry. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered.
