In the last yr or so I've had an interest in 99's, done enought research to know which one;s I would like to have, but still don't know much about them. I'd like to see if my assumptions are correct.
Anyway, picked this one up at a Gun Show, paid more than I wanted to.........maybe more than it's worth, but best one I've personally have ran across, most I have seen have been beat up and over priced. I paid $475, Its a 308 but it is in good shape, its been shot, but not much. Blueing is near new, stock has some dings, but I'm fine with it, I bought it to use anyway. It looks like it was Factory D&Ted for scope, I'll get a scope mounted and shoot it..........guess I better get some dies, wouldnt you know 308 would be one of the few common cal's I dont' load for.
It looked like a DL, has walnut stock, cut checking or what appears as cut checking, tang safety, counter........but says 99M, my guess its a DL and the M if for Monte Carlo. It also has Alum butt plate, I think it Alum.
Trigger is about 7 1/2 pounds........can the trigger on this model be worked on to get the trigger down, I'm bolt action guy and not familar with this type trigger and how much work can be done on them. I'm under the impression that some models have better triggers than other.
Also when I was cleaning it up, looked like the lever had clear varnish or etc on it, break cleaner made it turn white which I had to clean up no big deal..........do the levers have clear coat.
Not sure what yr it was made, plugged the Ser # 1013394 into the website to check yrs made and best I can remember it said it was made after 1961.
This one happed to be one of the ones I wanted so I bought it.
Comments please, thanks, Billy
