Everybody views things with their own eyes. As for me, I always thought the 99 was a much better looking gun than the 94. It doesn't have that tube magazine under the barrel, and it doesn't rattle like a can of nuts and bolts when you open the lever. Then there's the issue of getting a scope on top of the older 94's. No such issue with the 99. The choice of available rounds on the 99 is different too, without the necessity of RN or flat tipped bullets. I'd be remiss not to mention our member, MILES58 who worked up a very accurate load for my 99 based on the 130 gr. Barnes TTSX. The gun is much more accurate than I can possibly shoot it with this load. It would be interesting to see what a different scope and a trigger job would do to this old warhorse, but it'll wear a Weaver K-4 for as long as I carry it. What my son does with it after that remains to be seen.
