The Savage is just prettier than the Win '94. And a better rifle: balance, mechanism, ability to use sharp pointed bullets.

I own 2 Savage 99s. Both pre WWII models. They are by far the greatest lever action hunting rifle around Both of mine are open sighted with no holes drilled for scopes. One of them has an old Redfield receiver sight. Both are 300 savages. What a great deer/ blackbear catridge. Good pick!
