I like the 250 savage, but never have hunted with it. Bought a 6.5 x 55 husky so I might sell the 1899 takedown. I followed this thread all the way through and have two stories to share.
I have a hunting buddy who worked up a .243 ackley to unbelievable long range accuracy. He took up whitetail hunting in Northern Idaho. Ended up losing one buck, harvesting another.
A farmer in Nebraska, I used to bowhunt on his land, had a pet goat that lived on the front porch. A jehovas witness came to preach on the front porch. The goat butted the "preacher" into the living room couch!
