add one more, maybe; my father-in-law's old deer rifle; the best, er um, the second best thing he ever gave me; the only modification I can see is the butt plate having been removed and a recoil pad put on, don't know if that knocks this one off the list or not.
I found the serial # 738xxx, but not sure of the model letter, from the characteristics table on savage99.com it could be anyone of several. It has a: Pistol grip butt stock w/ checkering, schnoble tip forearm w/ checkering, metal Bead in raised ramp front site, a 24" barrel and .300 cartridges. Just above where the lever pivots there is what looks like a "C" but that doesn't seem to match up with the characteristics; Where do I look for the model letter?
unfortunately the butt plate has been removed and a recoil pad added so I can't look there. I do know its' a fine and beautiful piece of machinery. I've never hunted with it but have "removed" several stumps.
