And I could not be happier. These high resolution photos just do not do this piece of art justice. Since 2013 the stocks have been beautifully checkered and a nice Leupold 3X9 has been added. FE Warren was quite a talented guy for sure! I would love to know who did the checkering. It is very fine!! I feel lucky to be the keeper of this piece of art.

Nice looking newer 99! Tastefully done.

Thanks Fellas
Normally I prefer older guns. 20s,30s, 40s,even 50s!
But I could not pass on this 1971 model. I certainly do wish it was an old G or........but, I couldn't be happier with this one! I do love nicely engraved guns. I really admire the skill and talent these Artists that make stocks and engrave guns have.
Life is far too short to hunt with an ugly gun.

those pictures were kind of like pictures of a well endowed filly. don't know what to look at first. being a retired diamond scratcher i looked at the checkering first. after the usual , "very nice except" i got to the metal. i'd be proud to have that gun, no matter the era!
as an aside, for you guys checkering, when running a bead border if,IF you have over runs, get a tiny sponge paint brush and dampen the bead, only the bead and very lightly dampen. let it dry. even if the checkering is done after finish the over run cuts will swell up and a couple more passes with the tool will make them like they never were. just my 2cents.
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee

A fine example of gun making art!
