Stock has a professionally repaired 3-1/4" hairline crack. Work done by Master Gunsmith/Engraver, Larry Cole. His work had been featured in many magazine covers, articles, and NRA Presentation Firearms.
The Savage 99 was preceded by the Savage 1895, which was the first hammer-less lever-action rifle produced. The hammer-less design is a substantial improvement, because the time lapse from trigger pull to primer ignition is shorter. This makes the rifle more accurate, because the rifleman's muscular tremors have less time to move the rifle off-aim. A hammer-less design is also less likely to jam in brush or clothing.
The rotary magazine design allowed the rifle to be one of the first lever-action rifles to use spitzer-nosed bullets. Previous lever-action rifles used tubular magazines, which placed cartridges of ammunition end-to-end. In tube magazines, with spitzer-nosed bullets, the pointed tips of the ammunition would contact the primer of the cartridge in front of it, significantly increasing the chance of an accidental discharge. Another novel safety feature was that upon cocking the rifle, a small pin would protrude above the top of the receiver to indicate that the rifle was cocked and ready to fire.
