I understand the addiction - I got my first 1899 (84-XXX) two weeks ago, a grampa from a person who wanted to get it out of the closet, and after cleaning it up and studying the art-in-metal that the action is (after reading wealth of this forum), then feeling a 103-year old rifle spring to life with a little oil and tenderness, I have a 1951 Model 99 in 300 Savage in my sights - and I don't think I can resist ..... Just curious, how many purchases confirms an addiction?
