This is a Savage 99 version of Where's Waldo crossed with a Hollywood Slasher film. What are we looking at? How many acts of violence have been perpetrated on this poor rifle?

Nobody cut the stock for a recoil pad, and it doesn't look like it had a side mount. Oh, and I don't see a compass.

Other than that, I think everything else has been done to it. grin

When can we expect to see that on an Internet auction site listing as "rare Savage 99 "Grim Reaper" Commemorative"! smile

Best!

That's funny right there, by the way my clan sprang from the same dirt you list on your Avatar, family homestead was up on the north hill. My dad shot a pile of critters up there with the original family Savage 99 which now lives in my oldest brother's safe.
