Heavy varnish over birch stocks on 99E's wasn't their best choice.. but it was being sold as a utility model. But those 20" barrels on most 99E's are nice to hunt with.

That economy birch sure took stain weird. That said, if i could find the E i sold i would buy it back😁 it really shamed the F i have now.

Agreed the E in 308 was perhaps the best 308 I owned in the 99.
Hopefully I will find a 300 in E.

I like both and having owned both, but sold all my Win 88,s and still have the 99,s. Hunted quite a bit with the Win 88 in 284 killed a 52" Bull Moose and a Dall ram so it has
a special place for me. same here on 88 vs 99

I have one of each in .308. Both are nice guns. The 88 was my fathers and the 99 was my grandfathers. I have shot deer with both and love them.
