But before I do that, let me know if you have anything to trade for it. Use PMs for communication please. Mostly looking for nice original Savages. No EGs in 300 please. Already have 2. A pre-Mil 99F in 300 with no swivels would be cool. We can do cash up or down depending on what it is. Open to others. Also, Ithaca SKB shotgun side by sides. Jap made. Again, use PM. Will get pics up. It's an odd gun.

Fireball2 Campfire Kahuna Joined: May 2011 Posts: 56,326 Likes: 9 Oregon	Maybe a stupid question, but why would a 99C be a prototype .284 since the C came out in 1965 and the DL in .284 came out in 1964? Or is my memory again failing me? _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

"The "Yankee Armorer" tag is from one of Peter Dowd's gun shops and Dowd was a major buyer at the R&D Collection Auction back in the late 1980s. I know that Dowd received a letter from Savage for each firearm that was sold" No, I don't have that paperwork but working on getting it. Fireball: To answer your question. I have no idea. My guess is an attempt to counter the Winchester Model 88 with its new wiz bang 284 round. My grandfather was a life long pattern maker and at times they would build things for the shop he worked for. But that was for car parts. Sometimes worked.

Winner, winner chicken dinner IMO. And the 284 is the best platform to test that on.

Anything stamped on the buttstock or buttplate? “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving..
