What I want to know is when we can expect delivery of our Savage brand tanks? I got some property that needs clearing before the ticks come out.

Not directed at you Steve, but reminding the OP that he claimed he was an inch away from a fit. He has ignored answering that. Here's the stocks in the auction link you just provided. They're not an inch off. HE Bought the RIGHT Stock Set For the Right Gun In that ERA! Which was Made for 1970's He's Got a 1899 in 10,000 serial range, that he keeps calling a 99, if he did not ask the seller questions. and pulled the trigger than shame on him, for THE MORON SAYS one time it won't fit any 99's and in another time he says it does and and the tang is shorter. It's flat out wrong to go bashing the sellerwhen you don't research and ask and know W.T.F. you got or looking for!

Doesn't matter, but I had a 303 carbine with 99A wood. Parted the gun, kept the wood. Top tang cutout 3.012".

My apologies to Ralph. After a phone conversation with Steve in IL, he explained to me the substantial size differences between an old 1899 and a 70's era 99. Until I took this new stock, that would not even get close to fitting my 1899 regardless of fine tuning, I would not have believed there was such a huge difference in dimensions. I took this replacement stock and put it on a 70's era 99 that I have, and it fit perfectly. I will now call Ralph and apologize to him for my comments. Frustrating. I really thought I was being swindled. You are all now free to take shots at me for my comments. Sorry for wasting space on here.

We are here to learn. As many of us have found over the years, education does not come cheap.

Nice deer rig there Steve! But could I get one with twin 250-3000's? I find them to work better for deer...

I just got around to the forum again. I read some of the posts, but skipped a large portion on this thread. The tangs were not shortened or lengthened on the 99's. The back of the receiver was lengthened slightly, giving it that appearance. I have used newer stocks on older rifles by removing more wood from the tang recesses. I had come in to a deal with a bunch of Herter's aftermarket stocks years back and remember doing that with at least two. Simple to check: Place an older rifle (My guess is pre 90,000) right next to a newer rifle. The OVERALL (Front of the barrel ring to back of tang) length of the receivers are the same. Now look where the back of the receiver is on both. The older one is shorter.
