Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Elmo's Bubbarized 99E Pics

This is my dog Elmo, and a 99E




















Regards

Elmo

Nice looking rifle! I did not think that Es had a pistol grip but you have done well sir.

Ric

If I may ask, how did you do the forestock, That is slick. Les

My bad. I missed the "bubberized" part. Looks like one of Jedd's "presentation" .303 Takedowns.

Ric

Don't look like an E no more. Nice. Is the rear peep commerial or custom?

Les

The stock is black walnut and the ebony schnable is hand carved and scarfed to thin strips of ebony that run back along the top of the forend all the way to the action. See pic #4

I also used pachmayr flush sling swivel mounts and a separate forend mounting screw, instead of the original combination swivel stud/screw. See pic #3

It's an XS System Ghost Ring and it's made for a 99. No smithing involved at all.


Elmo

Neat, that looks really nice. I was just thinking of Parkerizing and sporterizing an EG that has been bubba'd. This gives me some other Ideas. Thanks, Les

Forgot to mention what a nice dog you have. Well behaved and good-looking.

Ric

Thanks Gator

Elmo's 10 now, 105 lbs, a good duck and pheasant hunter, and the best friend I ever had.

Les

That's a KGI Gunkote epoxy finish on the metal work, and a West System Marine Epoxy finish on the stock. This rifle is for rainy/snowy weather conditions when a scope becomes practicaly useless. (Wisconsin Whitetails on Thankgiving <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />)

That explains that, I see you hunt the midwest also, I hunt Michigan during Thanksgiving with my dad. Too bad it is shotgun only in his area. To use my 99's I would have to go north. Maybe it time Dad and I made a trip to the UP. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Les

Thanks for bringing the pics over to the campfire, I new the boys here would like to see this beauty...

Mike

Thanks for the pics, Elmo. That's a Bubba Deluxe. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
