That is how mine turned out after I scraped it and then hand sanded it. I finished it with tung oil. I also put a see through scope/red dot mount on mine and it is a nice little brush rifle. Just load it and no need to carry any more cartridges with you...
Yours looks real nice there Corey.. You did a real good job. Is that lever gun a Savage?

it is a ruger 96/22.
I am thinking of selling my scope mount for the sks and getting another style. I like it at first but now I want something more stable.

A friend of mine used to have a Savage lever rifle a long time ago that I really wanted. He let his brother use it, and that fool sold it. It was a 300 Savage as I remember, and that was a long range deer knocker. It kind of reminded me of that rifle's looks. I always said I wanted another lever rifle. I sold my old model 94 to my brother because he was having a fit over mine. I was going to get a Marlin .444, .450 or 45/70 but never did. And even if I did, I would never shoot the thing probably. I really need to stop hanging out here. I turned into a collector.
I threw a red dot on my SKS one year, tuned it in of course for 50 yards. That year, I let my friends daughter (who had just passed her hunter safety course and was gun poor)use the rifle. She popped a monster eight point at about 40 yards with it. When I asked her where she aimed, she said.. I put the red dot on his shoulder and pulled the trigger twice. She said it did a good job knocking it down. I personally have never shot a deer with it. I bought it because I saw it in a store and next thing you know it came home with me.

I do that a lot and did that alot too. that is why I ended up with the sks (nomistake) and a 9mm I maybe selling that I ended up not liking and the place I bought it from closed down.
maybe turning my 9 mm into a 45cal sidelock

I know what you mean about the old Savage 99, Cayugad. I've always wanted one in .250-300 Savage. Passed up a good one about three years ago and kicked myself for months afterward. I like the 99's look and feel - though my brother-in-law says they are the ugliest rifles he's ever seen.
