WOW! Thank you for the pictures, that rifle is OFF THE CHART for a cool factor.

I hope that you get some ammo made up and hunt with this great old rifle.

Do you know the rifleing twist rate yet? If 1 in 14, you will be slightly limited in your bullet choices, but there are still some good options out there.

If it happens to be 1 in 14 (I hope it is a 1 in 10) PM me and I will give you ideas as to some good deer bullets that will stabilize in that slow twist. I have had several 250/3000 Savage model 99's so twisted and lots of modern, high BC bullets just wont work.

Congratulations, and good hunting to the both of you!

LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
