FINALLY ! The Result of a Savage Battle !
After selling off a .300 Savage 99B "gray rat", several years ago, I've been on the lookout for a nicely-proportioned (sexy), to my eye, .300 "99" in MUCH better condition than the rat (as accurate as it admittedly was).
Late last evening, just as they were closing, I finally spotted what I wanted in a local funshop - but since the GS owner had already left for home, I was told to come back in the AM...........
GOOD, since that gave me time to prepare some trading stock.....
This morning, after a little horse trading involving a Ruger NV - I ended up with a ca.1957 Model 99EG .300, still sporting 99-1/2% blue, 100% CCH, w/98%-99% wood, and a pristine bore.
I-am-a-happy-camper.
I'll be receiving my prize into my hot little (OK, not so little) hands in about a week - but it looks exactly like this one on Joe Salter's list, except mine has a Williams peep sight installed in the factory-prep holes atop the rear tang/receiver:
I'm pretty pumped, about this trade - and I'll get some pics of the rifle I'm getting (and hopefully a range report) in about 10 days.

Re: FINALLY ! The Result of a Savage Battle !
Thanks for all your kind words - It seems 99's in excellent condition are getting hard to come by.
Tycer - My state has a mandated 7-day "waiting period", starting at nonn of the day following the purchase, during which the state's Bureau of Criminal Identification runs a check to see if a gun purchaser's been a bad boy, since the last purchase/check.
At least it makes the legislators feel good.................................

The older I get the more attractive the old 99s are. Nice score.
