I inherited my grandfathers guns
His favorite and now mine is this 1936 Savage 99.
300 Savage, Lyman peep sight.
He put a lot of meat on the table with it.
My dad had it for some time and as the first couple of pics show he didn't do a very good job of maintaining it.
Anyway, I got it and several other weapons when my dad got to where he was not able to care for himself (dads 95, moms 94)
I'm not capable of metal refinishing so I sent that out Pretty good with wood though.
I filled the dings and dents in the stock, but purposely left them visible. One of the cheeks was actually split away from the stock but I was able to epoxy it back to what I consider a good look.
Only regret is the lever used to be "Flamed Hardened" color. Now just blued. I also think the breech was originally "engine turned"
