is it just my astigmatism or is the artwork off in the first pic? It looks like he's sighting the rifle with his left eye but has it to his right shoulder. You wouldn't see the cross hair in the scope at that angle either. The windage adjustment knob seems to be on the front scope mount too. Cool stuff!

Damn straight, damn stinking gangsters (just kidding of course). However its too bad bubba installed a side mount scope mount. Probably also has a white line spacer ventilated recoil pad, sling swivels and an inletted compass! Again, just kidding and that's a great picture for the Sunday morning funnies.

Extra varnish on the stock and cut off barrel! PASS!!! I'd buy it Bubbad' in all. Any Savage 99 that smoked gangsters, albeit smartly dressed gangsters, is good enough for my humble collection!

Modern day SWAT teams should take heed. Trade in those black rifles for old scoped 99's!

this makes me feel so old I just may go back to bed! I remember the time when no one had a scope! those magazines are priceless!

Just realized I titled the thread Saturday morning.. and nobody called me on it. In my defense, the coffee hadn't kicked in yet.

Couple of 99's show up in Longmire. One for sure in the first couple episodes, then an EG towards the end.
