Just stumbled across her on my way home from work. A Savage 99E with a mint bore and near-perfect crown for $300. Chambered for .308 Win., smooth as butter action. I've been after one of these for a long time to use as a general hunting and all around rifle. It could use a re-blue, but I see no rust on it and the existing blue has a nice "old gun" color.
SN is A562xxx (A+six digits). Any idea when it was made? My SN books are buried deep under the snow.
She has an existing buckhorn rear "tangent" sight of the cheap American style I dislike (ie, piece of sheet metal welded on the barrel and pried up by a loose riser. That's gonna get replaced with some folding express sights for the '99 I saw at a pawn shop near hear. Just gotta remember what obscure shelf I found those on and track them down again.
