I have records on 102 25-35s and 11 including this one are SRCs. Not easy to find in any condition.
Nice one!

Grab the rare ones when you find them, at least until you find a nicer one to trade up to.
Good job.

Obviously, a pawn shop find. Got a lot of nice ones at pawn shops.
Great job...

this is not your ordnary pawn shop. It's more of a gun shop/pawn The owner travels all over the state to gun shows and has for a long time. The 1899 .303 I bought first was in his personal safe in the back room. He had 4 savage 99 in it and sold me .the 303 he has had for 15years. He has 3 more 99's on the racks for sale. Funny thing about this SRC is I went in just to look at what 99's he has on the racks and he ask which one I wanted next and I told him I was trying to figure out what caliber I wanted. He said I've got a beater 25-35 SRC in the back somewhere. We liked to have not found it buried in the racks of guns. We carried it out front in better light and he shot me a price and I said put it on hold. It will not win any beauty contest. I hope to get it home Friday.

Bronze wool and Kroil and a LITTLE elbow grease and you'll have a presentable, shootable, NEAT little Savage. Bravo!
And if you handload, you can load much better bullets in the 99 than a W--------r or M----n; with modern bullets and powder it's a whole different cartridge! And a WHOLE lot purtier than my G2.....
