My wifes late grandfather's 99E in 308. Sling was custom made for him. He must have installed the scope while they were having a few. As it was crooked.
Reggie Barkhouse, was the cook on the Bluenose Scooner for many years. Her father used to tell me how they used to hunt on Oak Island before it got turned into tourist trap.
I called it the Barkhouse special as when he passed, his canoe was painted the same.
I've put a few rounds thru it. Works as it should.
Unknown to me, her grandfather and my father met before. My father was in 434 Bluenose Squadron in the 90s, so the crew had a tour. I also got an orginal print of the T bird and Challenger flying over the bluenose schooner from him when he passed. That I gladly sent a copy to the Lunenburg Legion that was looking for a copy.
Also found out my mothers family lived next street over from him. Small world.

Shot this doe with my 99F in .300 Savage. Cold that day. The other 99 is an early EG in .300 Savage. Great deer rifles.Darryl

That top one a high grade?. It looks like it has fancy checkering. Looks like it's a takedown to!

I like these. I had one in .308 about 6/7 years back. Traded it for a Quad{needed a bit of work} I sold the quad later on for an extra + $1000 over the value of the rifle at the time 
A .308 one would be pretty cool to have once again.

I bet the Henry feels intimidated
Has it been reblued?. The lever is supposed to be color case hardened i think. And i see that is blued
