The post mil 99E and the 1970's C are running neck and neck in the ugly department. I own both and have hunted elk with a pressed checkered E in 308. I didn't get any elk with probably because I didn't see one on that hunt. There isn't any 99 that isn't capable of killing what the cartridge was intended for an a proper range for the cartridge/game combination. In other words I wouldn't try to shoot an elk with a 22 H-P at 300 yards but I intend to try to take an antelope with the 22 at 100 yards or so.
Everything depends on what you want the rifle for and how much you can afford.
