Do tell us more about your Savage 99! In particular what is the serial number?

Four years ago I bought a similar rifle, serial number 6162xx, at auction here in England. It had spent its previous life in South Africa, and due to a change in their law limiting the total numbers of guns per household (?) it had to be sold. Mine is not as immaculate as yours, but not bad, and is fitted with the Bausch & Lomb Balvar variable (2.5 - 4) scope. This has no turrets, but the mounts are adjustable. The image is brilliant. I have fired about 400 rounds with it, and have found a comfortable load with a 150 grain bullet at 2500 fps. More is available if needed, of course. It will group to 1.5" at 100 yards all day.

Do enjoy shooting yours!
