Hey, I just got a 1926G and I think it is the sleekest, coolest 99 I own. Heck with the R's. They remind me of car bumpers anyhow. How's about we see some G's?

The best thing about a post war R is if you run out of ammo you have enough weight to beat the animal to death! Had one, bye bye!

Weight has never been an issue for me rather it is all about how the rifle fits and feels at the shoulder. The T fits me well also both are a tad short though.

99R's were the best model Savage ever made.

Great thing about the 99 series is everybody can find one to love and one to hate. I don't think much of the R's either, although they are still better than anything made after 1960

I think if I was building a fence I would use post war R's for the posts and EG's for the pickets!

Come on Joe! Everyone knows that R's are too heavy to carry around in the woods. Some of us still walk about in the woods when we hunt you know. Still, gotta say that I really love my R. I can look at a target, close my eyes, bring up the rifle and the scope is dead on the target. The only thing that even comes close to it are my G's

Every Savage has the potential to be a great hunting gun but out of all my 99's I'd put it my 99R in 300 up against any of them out there for accuracy.
Last year I put 3 shots into one ragged hole at 100 yds with nothing but a cheap 3-8X Savage scope on it, could you imagine if it was wearing a nice 3-9 Redfield or Leupold?

Here's a pic of my 300 RS on the left and my 300 R on the far right. The two inbetween are 300's as well.
