Very Nice, My little 99,303 takedown is 98 years old and I find the design a true marvel. just think what a stir it would cause today if a new rifle was brought out with all the features of the 99. starting with a no tool takedown system that requires about 20 seconds. :) .

I know for Me that the '73 would last along time in .44mag. with the short 19" barrel and all of the drop in the stock, fullhouse .44 loads would be ugly. I could better understand it in the 24" sporting rifle.
