If you look at the history of Savage rifles The 99 has to be one of the most popular lever actions of all time. Well built and very dependable. I lost the vision in my right eye so I wanted a LH rifle to carry while Turkey hunting just in case we ran into some pigs so I got the Axis 2 with the accutrigger. Put a good scope on it and surprise surprise, it keeps putting them in the same hole. Hated the stock so have just put a Boyds on it. Not a lot invested in a very accurate rifle.
