Yessir, Gene, thank you for the info. If Savage had ever developed and marketed a 22LR based on the 99, it would have been a good one, longingly sot after, and probably be big $$ item. I'm also a Remington Model 8/81 fan and in John Henwood's book on the rifles, he wrote of and provided pictures of a Remington 22 LR prototype that Remington was doing in their R&D based on the Model 8. Never hit the production faze, but another bet it would be a high dollar collector item now as a 22LR Savage 99 type would be. Oh-the could-have-been's!!!!!!
