went to cabelas, spotted a 99, D 1922..300 exactly what I have been looking for everything was right, barrel blue 97%, receiver 90% wood 98% A BUT UGLY recoil pad, looking carefully I could see that the wood had been cut. still looking
I sure appreciate the collectors depth of knowledge...
Unfortunate. I never could understand why rifles with moderate recoil such as the 250 and 300 Savage, or the .30-30, 35 calibers in the Marlin 336 needed recoil pads. They're generally used in cold weather by someone wearing layers of clothing, firing in field positions and only one or two rounds at that. Pad not needed.
As a teen, I had a recoil pad fitted to a new FN Mauser Deluxe, .30-06, discarding the original plastic, heavily designed buttplate. I've regretted it ever since. The rifle is now a collectible but take off 40% because the idiot who owned it was then afraid of recoil.
Hold out for what you want, they're out there but rarely cheap.
I think that at times they where in style.
Yes in kids use them . take the recoil pad off in put the but plate on
I usually start at the buttstock, this one was on the bottom rack,so I started at the front sight "perfect", forearm and patents ect..right on, receiver okay, buttstock was great, then the the bad
