Turns out both are RS models. One has Weaver bases on it but will make a nice shooter for somebody. Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you're always afraid Step out of line, the man come and take you away

And send me a DM with the serial numbers and I will likely have a few questions for you. I have a spreadsheet of prewar Rs and RSs... the checkering varied over time, etc. Andrew

Slightly customized with a G&H mount, but had the RS studs and tang screws from a removed peep sight so it seems likely it was an RS. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”.

Next closest I had was 343,7xx and listed as a "possible" RS Rory's record would definitely top that though. Andrew
