Strange but I just bought a Model 99 Saturday. Dates to 1929, .303 Savage, takedown. Bought it because it is a .303 and takedown! Still nice and tight to the point of being hard to remove the barrel. It had a tang sight at one time but no more. Has been D&T for a Redfield base unfortunately. No rear sight, damaged front. Replaced the front with a 1/16" Marble's Sheard Gold bead, now need a rear sight but I'm not going to pay as much as I did for the rifle for an original Lyman or Marbles sight! Worst part is someone put a recoil pad on it many tears ago, a red Mershon. Haven't decided what to do about that.
