I’ll likely shoot it today, unless I get pulled in another direction. I’ll try having it resting on bags as described. I’ve done that with 760 & 742 Remingtons and that made a positive difference. I was surprised to see JB’s write up on how to make the 760 more accurate. I thought if the 760 could be modified maybe the 99 could too. The fore end of this rifle looked to these eyes to be a good fit and I didn’t see or understand how modifying it could help, but I thought I’d ask.
This is my first 99. In articles I’ve read 2 MOA from a 99 isn’t too bad. Certainly fine enough for shooting off-hand at white tail deer. But then I read about guys with their 1 MOA 99’s...
Oh yeh, I’ll be trying the different bullets too.
I’m a 40’s model myself and am interested in buying affordable classic rifles and wringing them out. The 99 has had many fans and I’ve read nothing regarding any dislike for the rifle, only praise.
I’d like to test this one on white tail this year.
