Only way that 243 EG is going anywhere is if I find an R in 243 to replace it.
Haven't even had time to see how that gun or the 99A in 250 shoots yet. Actually I still haven't even scoped them yet. Work is really busy this year.

Sounds like a simple wood swap to me

No schit.
I'd swap the R forearm I have on a .300, for an EG forearm, PDQ.

EG's have style and class.. And they're a bunch lighter.

One good thing about an R forearm is it'll make good firewood in a pinch! Of course, a schnaubel forearm makes for good kindling!
One reason I've become partial to 99's for hunting is the sheer handiness/light weight of the one's that I own. Not an R in the lot. (Doesn't mean I would pass one by though.) If I were going to start carrying a heavy rifle again I would go back to the pre-64 M70 '06 or one of my Springfields.

Left one is a R 300 w/ a case hardened rotor. Middle is a R 250 Right is a 1937 RS in 250 with a T7 mount w/ a 29S Weaver.

I'd swap the R forearm I have on a .300, for an EG forearm, PDQ. You would have to do both, the R buttstocks were thicker and wider than the EG butts.

Given that the stock on my R is cut and padded, I doubt that'll be likely to happen.

Steve:
I am not a big fan of R's...but that bottom picture is one nice rig! That be an RS...right?
If I found one like that I might have to break down and buy it.

My R in .250 Savage, probably the most accurate of the 99s I own. Rod

Phil,
Got a 99R that is your exact twin. Very pleasurable to shoot arent they?
