I just bought a 99F in .300. The lever boss code is a B, so 1950? The serial number is 774,7xx.
Please take a look at the pictures. Looks mostly original, has an extra hole in the forearm, refinished? wood, and reblued? The lever is blued instead of case colored.
Super clean bore, tapped for a scope, no tang cracks, and shoots an inch. The previous owner picked it up at an estate sale a couple of years ago because he likes to buy various calibers, develop loads for them, then sell and start over. He included a target with the load he used to shoot minute of angle.
I paid $550.00 as is, with a bag of new brass thrown in. For Montana that seemed a pretty fair price. I wanted a hunting rifle. Share your knowledge and experience and let me know what you think. I own two 50's EGs in .300 but my 99 knowledge is limited.
