I have been in my gun room most of the day today thinking and figuring out a great dilemma / opprotunity . my son and my son inlaw and a young man my wife and I raised have been on me trying to buy a 99 of any sorts . they have all gotten worked up about needing a 99 . probably because of my pushing my interest on them when were all target shooting and just shootin the bull . so I have dug out the rifle that each of the guys have consitantly shown a great interest in. given the guns a good cleaning inside and out and got all the history , papers and notes to go along with each rifle . gathered up 200 rounds of ammo for each of them and made ready to present them to them saturday night when we have our christmas . feels good to plant the seeds of savage 99s within them but opens a hole in my 99s. lol I told my wife it was time to start the 99 hunting season . lol

What an incredible gift! Good on you Mister.
I’d be happy to be temporarily adopted in the name of getting a Savage 99 rifle!!
All joking aside, good on you. That’s a precious gift.

How thoughtful of you and a streak of genius at the same time. Now you can buy more Savage 99s!
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So while you thinned your herd of 99s you have increased the herd of 99 loonies!
God bless you!

This is how I plan to roll one day. You're blessed to have three such young men in your life who will appreciate such things.

I'm not at that point yet and my kids don't want them, except Gary. I'm thinking about taking 1 a year to Joes Rendezvous. I hope it's still going strong in 10-15 years.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

I would give them the ammo first and let them ponder the reason why. Bring out the rifles after all the other presents are opened and things settle down. We need photos of the looks on their faces!
