1. Excelsior Grade .303
2. Leader Grade .25-.35 TD
3. 1899A Engraved 38-55 TD

Still trying to figure out how they matted the receiver on the Excelsior. Does anybody know how it was done?

1. My favorite is a 99E 300 Savage that I bought new in 1966 when I was 15 years old..I grew up with this rifle.

2. My Pre-War R in 300 Savage...My go-to deer rifle....

3. My pre-mil F in 250-3000 with a Westfield barrel....

I have lots of favorites, but these I hunt with regularly....All are scoped with Leupold 3x9's.....

The receiver on the excelsior is "stippled" meaning it is hit with a tiny punch over and over again.

I have all 3 of these except the #2 is a Crescent grade and #3 is a solid frame and not a take down... Great choices!

Personally, talking base models, condition is everything but...

250-3000 Deluxe
A prewar RS in 300
Pre-war 99F checkered in 300

I'm that simple.

Expanding to fancy factory offering would be difficult... About anything with an early Marlin S pistol grip and perch belly and fancy wood and a shotgun buttplate.
