Lever Monday...post em up

[Cornbread]

I shot it enough to sight it in before it goes back to its owner. It was MOA with 165gr Fusions.

They're not my favorite lever, but they all seem to shoot well.

Ive got 3 of them (1 blued ad 2 stainless), and by God those are the 3 rifles I'm taking to Montana for my elk & mule & whitetail deer hunt in Nov. They all shoot MOA, which given the wind out there will be good enough.

 

[Keep on]

Dad's Savage 99 in 300 Savage, 1954 vintage, not too bad for 70 years of age. Hopefully my kids and grandkids can keep her running for another 70.

My Brother In-laws rifle.
He stumbled upon it and got it for a great deal.
He believes it is an early 1900s rifle.
Is this a 99?

Did a re-barrel and blue on this one.

I haven’t actually seen the rifle yet
He sent me these pictures and I added them to this thread.
I’ll get a chance to see it soon, and I’ll check on it, and let you know.

Yes that's either an 1899 or a 99. On the left side of the receiver ring it will be stamped with the model number. Some of the early 99's were stamped with 1899, but you can run the serial and get a DOM.

Refinish the wood? Looks too good not to be.

I love the 99's but every one I see is beat to hell. Since I know a guy who can make them look like this, I might start shopping.
Might be an interested add to the 35 Caliber collection

Just cleaned the stocks up and gave them a coat of oil. Not a full refinish.

I don’t believe this is a 1899.
It looks like this is stamped 1909
