I did not buy it, buy tried to stay in for awhile, until it was over what I could afford. I don't think there were many 99EGs made in 30-30, and I would think that most that were made were not checkered. This one had a very late 1939 serial number (so one of the very early checkered EGs), and 1940 was that last year the EG was made in a 30-30 ... so all in all, I would think a pretty rare variant. It has studs, but very nice condition. http://www.gunrunnerauctions.com/listings/details/index.cfm?itemnum=1144604736

However that being said, Somebody thought it was worth more than me or you, I wouldn't have paid that much for it either... "You cannot invade mainland America.

Both would work. 30-30s are cheap and easy to feed.

Very close to another reported EG, 24" from Canada, 43923x (highest serial EG, .30-30 in my data). I do show a higher EG in .303 Sav., 44537x w/24" brl. Most of these WWII rifles with .30-30 and .303, 22" and 24" brls have the RT forearm. I see no rimmed cartridge brls after the move to Chicopee till the .375 Win. Savage...never say "never". Rick...
