Found an early Savage 110 in 264 Win Mag and I'm a bit leary of it as they have a rep for being a barrel burner. I'm guessing by your sig line it might not be the case? Sorry to get off topic. 24 hour sarcastic S.O.B.

Got one from a member here that serial's in 238XXX also. We all need to crawl before we walk, so that we can appreciate the Mossbergs of life.

Got one from a member here that serial's in 238XXX also. The prewar 99E had a much lighter barrel than the 1899A SR. The 1899A SR became the 99C and 99D with heavier barrels. The 1899H became the 99E and 99F with lighter barrels. “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving..

A 238XXX range gun. I like it. Still looking for mine. It's hard to find one in decent condition since most of them saw plenty of field time. "You cannot invade mainland America.

Found it at an Ag Hall show in Allentown years ago. It was my second 99. A big step up from the 99A saddle gun in 308 that preceded it. It shoots very well but hasn't been shot in a while.

Its a shame somebody doesn't build one that neat now. It handles like a dream and shoots great. reflex264 .264 barrel current number of shots:2122
