You can open one of the hole's for a compass.This used to be a Sav 99 collector site a few short year's ago.The real collector's left.As Jed would say "post-mil junk".Funny how thing's change.

You mean your definition of "real collectors". I don't like post mils either but to each their own.

Dang, we were probably bidding each other up. I really wanted that one but don't think tang safeties are worth that much.

99A in 300 Savage is definitely rare. Never seen one in the flesh. And I have seen 7mm-08s, cut checkered 284s, and 22HP solid frames, and on more than one occasion. Tough one to spot.

The killer....sling stud's. So I shouldn’t put sling studs on mine?? About 15 years ago I passed on a really nice 1899 Short rifle in 38-55, made in 1910, for $1700, because it had swivels on it. Had great bore, no cracks, no D/T. I haven't really been looking, but, I've never seen another.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Yeah, I'd say that went fairly cheap. It did, but too expensive for this group.  And how is one supposed to take that comment????? Take it as it was intended, an insult.
