VERY weak...
Wasn't looking for her, but there she was, singing a siren song and calling my NAME...
A Savage 99EG, caliber .300, a 1949 production ( Chicopee) that is nicer put up than any Utica 99 I've ever seen.
Excepting a couple minor stock dings, very minor bluing scratches on the barrel, and modern sling bases, she's quite minty. Even sharp edges have all their bluing!
Her bore is pristine, and even after a cleaning and lube, her action is new stiff. No primer ring on the bolt face.
Found some rounds online for $40/20. UGH!
Glad I didn't get rid of my reloading press...
Will begin the search for an aperture sight. A fine old rifle deserves to be proper sighted! Oh, $ 850 o.t.d.
