Savage 99R in 300 Savage.
24" barrel, Savages heavy 99, and also very accurate. Handloading for women, kids or target practice is easy, Nosler 125 ballistic tips, which would also work for deer. Load it up for bear and hogs with 165 Partitions, or 180's even. The 99's allow you to load pointed bullets, o knock yourself out. I shoot 130 barnes in mine, when I use it. 1 bullet for everything kind of guy... Ammo has been available at several stores in my area all through the Obama years.
A really nice 99R can be had for $600 and often $500. I gave just $405 for a beautiful 99R in 300 just a year or two ago. They can be scoped, are pre-drilled. Never considered a red dot, but I guess if that's what you need then go for it.
