Don't know how many recall, but these two 99's just kind of walked into my life. My ffl guy had a customer who had this 99F in 300 Sav, all original with NO swivels and a 99EG in 358 Win, which had swivel studs. The F is in a bit better shape, but I sure like the EG.

The F is topped with a Leupold M8 6x36. I have taken 3 deer with it so far. It is a great shooter and this was the first kill with 358 and hopefully not the last. I was using open sights. By next year it will have a Leupold big bore 3X with a german # 4 on it.

These deer were taken in our early October anterless rifle season.
Pic one is the 99F deer. Shot at 40 yards. DRT.
Pic two is the EG deer. Shot at 100, open sights, she made it 20 yards. I should have taken exit wound pic of the 358 deer as it was about 10" in long and 4" wide. Bone damage mostly to make it that kind of opening.

Have to thank Jeff(RAS) for the 358 ammo. That 250 soft point ammo sure opened things up..... cool whistle wink grin
