I wouldn't hunt with that gun, as has been suggested, and subject it to possible damage. There are plenty of other 99s to hunt with but you have an artifact of Savage history. That 99 is unique. There isn't another one like it. With that rifle you are a steward of history and, if you ask me, history isn't worth a damn if it isn't preserved for the future. You certainly do have a museum piece in that 99. Nice rifle!
