I'm planning to sell a late 40s vintage Sav. 99 in .300 Savage. I think it's an "R" but I'm just not sure how to tell exactly which one it is and I don't want to mis-represent it. How can I identify my specific Model 99?

Post some pics. Impossible to confuse an R with an EG and diffficult to with an F. 1899 B 303 at top, 99R 300 Savage at bottom. ![[Linked Image]](http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/1632/savage99s.jpg) It a BIG rifle w/24" bbl in 300. They will shoot better than many bot actions.

I've seen that top rifle before

federali, a late 1940's or early 1950's Savage 99 will be an EG with a slim schnabel forearm, or a 99R with a wide, rounded forearm. Both have triangular checkering on the forearm. Give us a serial number range and we'll tell you the year. 99EG: ![[Linked Image]](http://savagela.org/Images/Images/1940s_EG_2005b.JPG) 99R: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.savagefest.net/my_99s/1953_99R_250/1953_99R_Left.JPG)

You are correct, it appears on club's shared photohosting site. (along with about 5000 other pictures.) Happy to pass along any questions to the owner as he is a 99 reloader/hunter/shooter.

So you admit you are violating their terms of service? Is this lack of ethics common with your club members? http://imageshack.us/content.php?page=rulesMiscellaneous
