When I was 17 back in 1970 0r 71 I guess it was , my Dad and I were out hunting when we ran across one of Dad's old friends. Over a cup of coffee he asked what we were hunting with and Dad said I had a bolt, and he had a lever. The gent said " Oh a Model 99" Dad said yes it was. The name Savage is a good name. I was given that 99 and my youngest daughter has it now, and it is still a really fine if rugged rifle.
