I found this straight-stocked/uncheckered Savage 99 in .30-30 for auction online and the current bid is $680.00. I noticed something troubling in one of the photos. On the receiver top, the chamber top and the bolt top there appears to be fine pitting and some of the letters and numbers aren't as cleanly cut as others. What do people here by observing the picture think? Naturally, I'd prefer a gun with clean uniform lettering that isn't deformed. This particular round-counter rifle is advertised as Rare & Desired Savage Model 99 .30-30 Numbers Matching Collector
My holy grail Savage 99 would be pitting-free and have excellent numbers/letters markings in the metal. There would be absolutely no tapped holes for scope mounting that the Savage Arms factory did not originally put there themselves as my other critical requirement. Some SAVAGE receiver trademarks have been butchered by aftermarket drilling.
