Cleaning some of the mess, and amazing what ya find. This is just a sampling... found that I have enough Speer 87gr Hot Cores to last me until I die. Loaded up odd boxes of bullets into a tub for the garage and that just about gave me a hernia...

A candidate for Savage Anonymous for sure.

Rory, what are those sling swivels off? Good question. They are 7/8" swivels, but not 99RS swivels. I picked them up at Tulsa thinking they'd look good on a Model 19 or 23 with a vintage sling, maybe. Nice collection of 410 barrels. And all 22"..

Rory, I got these on a 243 R. How do you measure them to know they are correct?

Rory, I got these on a 243 R. How do you measure them to know they are correct? I'd have to have that 243 R for a while to be sure if they are Savage or not.. maybe 5 or 10 years. I wouldn't surprised if the same company made almost all of those hook swivels and the different gun companies just resold them. I also wouldn't be surprised if they changed over the years, I see them listed from 1948 through at least the early 60's. This picture below is from the Savage catalogs, mid-1950's. Mine are very much like the catalog pictures, with the end point of the hook about 3/4ths of the way towards the swivel. The end point on yours is farther down near the swivel.. whether that means anything, I couldn't tell you.

If you are digging through piles of stuff and find stuff you didnt know you had amongst all the other stuff, you may have a bit too much stuff 😜🤣

Nope.. it's just a question of not being organized enough. Not too much stuff. Though I think I'll hold off on buying any more buttplates for a while.

I don't have anything cool like 410 barrels. I'd like just one but I'm not paying what they usually go for. Hell, I haven't bought a 99 in a long time because they're so expensive now. I did find a box of Stith mounts and Lyman peep sights I forgot that I had, which was a pleasant surprise.

If they kill tigers, they should kill the Canadian super pigs. So you're set for that. They've supposedly already made their way into Minnesota. Seems like a valid reason for me to buy a 22HP.

I'm not sure i'll be fully prepared until I have a 99T in 22HP.. but I've got a couple 1899H's, a 99G, a 99EG.. I'll probably muddle thru.
