Forkhorn was shot at under 20 yards as it was charging me. Weird year.

Man...I am starting to really take a liking to those Savage lever actions. Yours looks to have a bit of nostalgia.


I know it's getting close to deer season when Calhoun posts tht pic....which I NEVER get sick of. It's one of my favorite pics on the fire.

1945 99EG in 300 Savage, gray with lots of honest wear and not even a great bore - good, but not great. But shoots close to MOA with 180gr Partitions all day long and is a killer. Better shooter could probably do MOA easily. Put the first 19 deer on the ground with a total of 19 shots, never a miss. I've got a lot of prettier 99's, but can't argue with how it produces.

Savage 99's are not only a seriously classy hunting rifle, but also a very effective hunting rifle.
