I'm the new guy looking through all of this old stuff. A lot of great answers and ideas. But you have to look at it from a Savage corporate perspective. If they came out with a new 99 (and I've heard the engineers are considering it) they would have to sell guns... a lot of guns to make it work financially. I'm with you guys on the nostalgia of the old calibers, but how may people are going to by a new 99 in 25-35 or 32-40? Us 50 guys maybe...that is about it. If there ever is a new 99 it's going to be 223, 243, 7mm-08, 308 and some if not all of the WSM's. Yeah, Ho hum, I know. But, that is our reality. The best we could hope for is a yearly "classic" model, much like Remington did all of those years. Then we could get some of the more classic calibers we are most familiar with. Randy
