My old man has three 99s, all in 300 savage. They’re all fixed now but one he bought cracked and one cracked while he was hunting. Wonder why they seem to have issues, love the rifles.

It was really common, I suppose cheap thin stocks from recoil I suppose.... You had to be careful where you taped the stock together, if you taped over the cocking indicator you were out of luck. Lot's of deer missed because it was taped over. Every camp back in the day had a story of someone who missed on a big buck because the tapped over the cocking indicator. They had to hear it season after season too! :chuckle:

200RUM, Caseknife, & Jpmiller, thank you. This .250-3000 still shoots ok, but I just want to get it repaired. Caseknife, thanks for the link.

I bought a new one from Boyd’s at one point. Sold the rifle later. Big mistake…

Thank you. How true to the original stock was the Boyds stock? Did you get both the buttstock and forearm?
