I never shoot them anyway and I appreciate pristine pieces that are unaltered. I have worse vices.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Nope, that's a G and a dam nice one at that!!. You took the words right out of my mouth! Prewar Fs are straight grip and a bit more plainer in appearance. What cartridge is it chambered for? This one is 300 Savage. I plan to take it to my gunsmith tomorrow and have him D&T it for a scope and cut an inch off the stock and fit a pad to it. JOKING! I would NEVER do that to a fine old rifle even if I can't see the sights. I wish we had a like button, I would have hit it ten times!
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

I have one that is nice, but not as nice as that one! 396XXX range. It is a great shooter in 300.

Thats pretty scarce in that condition. If it was mine i'd get a vintage tang sight and a slip on limbsaver butt pad. Never in my life would I alter that beauty. But, its your rifle.

!941 production. Near the end of the 99-G run. Savage was not recording info in that serial range so you can't letter it.
Super wood. Take good care of it. Hijacking for just a minute, how do you go about lettering a rifle, and what info can you expect in return? What is the cost of doing so? I wouldn’t mind doing so with my 1915 .250

I wouldn’t mind doing so with my 1915 .250 The Center of the West Museum (Cody Museum popular name) has the ledgers now. Costs $75 to letter a gun if you aren't a member. Ouch. If you have multiple firearms to letter (and they have Winchester/etc ledgers as well), a membership is a much better deal.

I think the pistol grip of the G helps me be more accurate…and they seem to come outta the scabbard easier.
They are very nice IMO
