You may like the Mod 88 better than the 99 anyway, I have a Mod 88 in .284, I believe the 88 lever action using the same amount of lugs/locking action as the Mod 70 bolt actions, and the lever is quicker than a bolt,

From what I have read the Mod 88 action was a very good action, but never really caught on for whatever reason, I killed my first few deer with mine,
