I bought a 1951, 99 in 300 Savage recently. It was very solid but cosmetically a bit rough so I had it reblued and stock refinished by my gunsmith who is a Savage 99 pro. His work is just excellent and the rifle turned out beautifully.
Anyway, when I got it back the rotary was dark. I called him up ad asked what the deal was. He said Savage made these rotarys in 3 materials: Brass, Aluminum and Steel. He further stated that the steel rotors were blued. I never heard nor saw a blued rotor.
What do you guys think? I really am not big on the blued rotor as the numbers are quite difficult to make out.
Thoughts?
Bob
