Looks like there is allot of Savage wisdom in this forum!
I am anxiously awaiting the delivery of my first Savage 99. Hope you guys can help educate me a bit about them,
This one according to the seller is a 1949 model in 300 Savage #5193XX 24" barrel, it has a Bausch & Lomb BALfor 4X scope and Kuharsky adjustable 1 piece base.
I have a bunch of questions, but just generally like to learn about this rifle.
I notice every one seems to refer to a letter after the 99, Like 99F, what does the letter/s mean? From my searching I think it is a 99EG?
Does this rifle have the brass magazine?
Any input about the scope and mount?
Was the rifle D&T at the factory?
If you have any good informative links I could read, that would be great also.
I paid $499.00 seemed fair to me and I figure that's all that matters as far as price goes.
Here are a few of the pictures sent to me.
Thank you.
