| I recently purchased my 2nd 99 in .308. I am now the proud owner of a 99C and a 99E. I told the wife I "needed" a spare in case I broke my scope while in the field but had to confess to her yesterday it's the begining of a collection.......LOL. She rolled her eyes at me and told me I could have said as much at the outset (she's awesome).
I haven't shot the 99E yet but will be out as soon as the range is dry. While I wasn't kidding about a spare rifle. I think I like the idea of a removable magazine better than the builtin rotary....although I love that one too.....a removable mag is faster for load/unload/reload and I guess safer too. It's a preference thing.
As far as I'm concerned, they're all collectable.
Oh, Mad Dog, I saw a 7mm-08 for auction on GunBroker.com if you're interested in buying something from the US...... |
