My buddy has decided to sell this rifle as neither he nor his son are gun guys. As this forum has been helpful to us in finding out more about this piece we thought it only fair to give Savage 99 collectors on this forum the first opportunity to make an offer on it if they wish. I have not yet put my hands on this rifle but will be doing so in a couple of weeks. If there is interest and you would like specific questions or areas inspected I would be happy to do that.
Offering the rifle here is a generous gesture. And you will get a good result without auction overhead.
Get the rifle, get some pictures and overcome the communication barriers and you'll be in business.
As LBK mentioned, you can include some contact info in your profile
without broadcasting it to the inter-world.
Good luck!
