Doesn't get much better, regardless what might possibly be said. You should be very proud of that rifle.

They really picked out a nice chunk of wood for that one! Looks like a nice rifle.

sweet rod! I sure wish I could run across more Savage levers around my neck of the woods... I honestly have never seen one in the few local shops around me, nor at local gun shows, outside of mine.
Southern Illinois area is pretty void of Savages.. From what I have gathered here, it seems like some Northern and Eastern states are much more populated with Savage levers than around the midwest here.
Nice one Rod!

Rory--No, that's actually a sling from my deluxe Winchester 71. The RS swivels and the Winchester Supergrade swivels seem very similar, if not identical.

My opinion the ultimate 99. Only way it could be better would be if it had the three point checkering. Would be nice to own a T model in 250 just to compare against my R's. What say ye to the owners that have both models. GW

I'm sure it looked pretty spiffy even before you added the sight and sling.

Beautiful gun. Look at that wood and those case colors...

Rod Been there, and yes they are almost identical. Only difference I can see is on the finish, the 99RS slings have a nicer, smoother finish and the Winchester were rougher. Otherwise almost an exact match.

Very nice. If it was mine I'd probably sell it to a collector. Too nice for me to hunt it.

Actually, this one was closer to your neck of the woods, Steve. It came from Marengo.
