One of Tommy's guys brought one to camp. He had never shot a gun of any kind before. We coached him on sighting in. Once he figured it out, we put golf balls on Tee's. I think he went 10 for 10 before he said his shoulder was starting to feel it. I'm not greedy, I just want one of each. Remember Ira Hayes JoeMartin

Got that rifle new when i was 16 years old... and skinny. It beat me up seriously. Am not an expert, but i think the lighter weight AND the stock shape make the difference. Great rifle for sneak hunting. More recently my older body [lol] has learned to accept the felt recoil. its still serious. Have been using 150 gr Hornady Interlocks with moderate reloads. it shoots about 1.5 MOA when i am any good. Have shot my share of deer with it. I would rather shoot my old Model 70 in 270, or my 7 x 57 Mauser. have taken deer with those, too. But the 99 is the first rifle i ever purchased and therefore my sentimental favorite. No, these rifles arent for sale. They are going to my son and grandson.

That's all I'm saying... They're an excellent deer gun, just not my cup of tea. They also didn't make a lefty version back when I started using a slug gun. They do now, or at least they did the last time I had been swapping up slug flingers 3-4 years ago. Sorta hoping I never have to shoot a shotgun slug again the rest of my life, though 🤣 I am hanging onto the 870 just in case I ever need a slug gun again, especially since I have a fair stash of sabots for it.

Is that an F buttstock? If so, lighter weight might contribute to more recoil than a standard EG.

I had a late .358 EG that I sold to David Royal, serial no. 967XXX. It had the folding rear sight that was used on the 1959 F's and an F buttstock. The frame, buttstock and butt plate assembly codes matched, but the forearm mark was just a C in a circle. We concluded that Savage was assembling rifles from parts on hand prior to the move to Westfield. Like, maybe they ran out of EG buttstocks and were using F buttstocks on EGs to use up EG barrels.
