Was a big SIR fan. They had a sale in 1959. As a 16 year old I needed a new rifle. I bought a new Savage 99EG in .308 for $95. It was a good rifle with a poor trigger. On the same sale they had Model 70 Fwt. in .358 WIN for the same price. I was going to order the .358 by my dad talked me into the Savage!
