The sharp-pointed 150 gr SST bullet is also the perfect length for the 99 magazine when it is seated to, or crimped into the cannelure. The finished rounds look exactly like the 130 gr TTSX bullets pictured above.

My 1955 99 "F" in 300 Savage loves, 150 grain Sierra Pro Hunter Spitzers. 41 Grains of Reloder 15 and I get 1 inch groups at 100 yards with better than a dozen dead Michigan whitetails to prove that this is a very lethal combination. Longest shot was 180 yards. I love this caliber and the lightweight 99F is a joy to carry.

Here is one on GB and it's not as nice as the one here. It's up to $415 and the reserve has not beem met.

$399 for any 99 in good shape probably wouldn't stay in the shop if I ran across it. That's a 99R, and while it is extremely common in 300 Savage, $399 is cheap enough to have fun with and sell for a $50-$100 profit down the road. And if the receiver site was a Redfield 70LH, always a chance it was a 99RS.



Savage_99 sent me the contact info for the gun store and I called,credit card clutched in my sweaty hand and it was...GONE! cry

I really do appreciate Savage_99 getting me the contact information.
