Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Favorite .30 caliber cartridge

I dont have a 30 cal. but my dad is most likely going to hand me down his Savage 99 in 300 Sav. I am fond of that rifle. He is 83 now and has not decided which son he is going to give it to. I remind him every now and again how much I like that rifle. He agrees but I dont think he is getting the hint. If he gives it to me , I may very well hunt deer and bear with it in remembrance of him. I hope to shoot a bear with it and a big buck. He paid $110 dollars for it new in Utica NY. in 1956. Here is a pic of him in Wyoming in 1963. He didn't get the buck . My uncle did with his 300 Win. Mag. The 300 WIN. was new then and he HAD to have it.
