Savage 99 ID - 02/21/21
I picked up a new one back in November and initially I thought it was a 1899A or possibly a transition era gun. It was drilled and tapped and a base was covering the front receiver ring but last night I took the bases off and "Savage Model 99" on the front ring. 26" Barrel - straight butt stock. (No Perch belly) - ramp front sight (that should have been my first clue) - chamber indicater stud - jeweled bolt - 99 lever safety - rifle Cresent butt plate - solid frame, not take down - .300Savage.
After doing a bunch of research I'm thinking it is a 99B now. Can anyone concur? I have seen a post that refers to the 99B as being only made as a takedown but i have also read in several places that the takedown was only in 24" Barrel and the 26 was a solid frame 99B.
