So yesterday at work I went to a pawnshop near my office and looked at what they had. (As a side bar they had 7.62x39 for $4 dollars a box)

They had a two savage 99s one was a newer model in 38 with a removable magazine and the other was an older one in 250-300. I must say that I remember seeing these rifles growing up at gun shows better never giving them a second look.

I look thoroughly at both. The fit and finish of the detachable mag model was poor (I assume was made later in production?) the 250 savage model on the other hand was fantastic, balance well felt great on the shoulder and I think one will work well on the sticks. I don't think 250 savage is the caliber for me (had one in a ruger international) but I am going to go to the gun shop on Friday and look what they have.

Thanks for the led gentleman. Also doing so internet research it looks like I will be able to easily mount a Burris fast fire it with taking much of the handling away.
