Wow, replying to a 6 yo thread would get you heckled in most places:-)

I would love to see the 99 make a comeback, in all of the .308-based cartridges and 30-40 Krag.

Unfortunately, the market would be too small for anything but a limited edition.

The 99 is kinda like Rita Hayworth or Ava Gardner in the era of Angelina Jolie. Subtle, classic sex appeal is eternal (now I need a cold shower!) But if it's not raw and in their face constantly, most folks these days will never know.
