I was never partial to the Savage 99. I thought the lever action felt clumsy and heavy. I prefer the Winchester Model 88, I always thought that was a superior lever gun.
I actually plan to add another gun to my zombie movie, an original Marlin (can't remember what date it is, maybe 1894?, but not the 94C) in .45-70. It is a really old gun but I figured every zombie movie needs a lever gun and why not make it a big one? It has a very large appearance and a long lever action so it looks even bigger than it is.
