The 99 with a removable clip is a 99C, and they all date to post-1965 and are often good hunting rifles, but fit and finish usually suck.
The 250-3000 is sweet, but with an older one with 1 in 14" twist I'd hesitate to recommend it for bear or boar. Works fine if you can pick your shot, but a 300 Savage would be better. Did the 250-3000 look like the one in my deer pic above, but without a scope?
