Go to the Savage collectors section of the 24hourcampfire site, lots of model 99 info there.

A drooping lever on a 99 usually means the rifle has experience!!!!

I read about a fix for it. Wrecking the lever by pounding the bejeezahs out of it wasn't the fix. Seems to me it is a spring out of adjustment. You can read it yourself on the "24 hour campfire" forums. Scroll down to find the Savage collectors forum and do some searching on there. If you can't find the instructions for that particular fix, then ask and one of the guys will direct you.
