I had my new to me savage 99 out again yesterday for a shoot. This time outside. It groups well. I really like it. I was looking at pictures of older 99's online and I see a thing early on was to have the gun personalized with your name on the side of the receiver. I was thinking of getting my first initial and last name engraved on the side. My son shares the same first and last name as per family tradition so it will work for him as well. The gun was refinished by the previous owner and he did a very good Job but this ruins collector value. The gun is also the economy version.... So probably little collector value in the future anyway. What's the overall opinion on doing this? It will almost certainly guarantee the gun will stay in the family. it will also prevent me from trading it out in the future when I see a different gun i want. That would be a good thing.
Opinions?
