I am in posession of my wife's great grandmothers 1926 savage 99 in 30-30. I believe that is the year posted when I asked about it a few months ago. The Great Grandma, Grandma and mother in law have killed over a dozen deer with this gun. I packed it several years ago on a scouting trip and fired 2 quick shots at a distant coyote, probably aiming too high.
As a bolt action guy I was very impressed how fast I got the second shot off.
