The Savage 99 made a top 10 list of lever's Dromia, Have you ever owned one? Any good and what caliber? Also don't forget Ruger with the 96/44 (my dad has one).

I currently have '99s in .22 Savage Hi Power, 25-35 and 300 Savage. I am a huge fan of the '99.

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Mate used a BLR in .223 with an aftermarket bull barrel & converted to use Ruger Mini 14 magazines as his main PR rifle for over a decade.

Main question is though, who has leaked the info on these rifles and what specs are known?

Are they the same people who killed Kurt Kobain and make sure Kit-Kat's taste different with every passing decade?

The one's I saw were Mini 14 mags and only ruger ones (aftermarket's didn't work for some reason).
Mini 14 magazines they are - I stand corrected.
