A few years back I bought a Savage 99 at a gun show for a ridiculously low price. When I got it down to the ranch to try it out, while chambering a round it went off unexpectedly. It is a damn good thing I follow gun safety rules and the rifle was pointed down. Scared the hell out of me. I took the buttstock off the rifle to see what was going on and there was the worst home made trigger job ever done on a Savage 99. I posted pics of it back when it happened here at this site.
The rifle was in otherwise pristine condition and is now my go to .308 with all new trigger components installed. I did not touch them, just installed NOS parts into the rifle. Out of over 30 Savage 99's I have worked with, this one has an amazing trigger now with zero polishing. Go figure.
