Certainly nice looking but it don't really make one hunt any better.

I'm not much of a 99 fan, but that is something that could quickly grow on one. Very nice.

Same rifles just don't look right all dressed up. I think just a decent piece of black walnut would work well on a 99, no extras.

Do you do work on Customer's 99's? I have a 99 Savage in 358 that would look very nice done up like that gun.

WOW...what a great looking piece of wood on that rifle. My wife would KILL for a dining room table that looks as good as the Savage 99. Homesteader

Arrange a birthday present in .300 Savage for me. Then hide and watch. I'll knock around all over the woods probably bumping into trees because I'm staring at the stock instead of watching where I'm going. Nothing wrong with using art, just don't abuse it. Be nice to be in a quiet place watching the sun go down and see the color change in that wood as the light changed. Ahhhh, peace.

That's a seriously crazy good looking rifle!! I could definitely like one of those. Not so much now or for the really serious hunts. However, I would really like to have a Nice wood/blue rifle for when the boys grow up and dad's mostly along to be there...

Safe Queen. Got no use for it.
It is very nice, but that is the problem. And 6K?
Ouch. A man could buy alot of good shooting irons or go hunt out west or Alaska with 6K.
