Mike,
Love those pics of your pop carrying that old Savage 99!
Those older guys with an older rig they've carried for decades is always so darn cool!
In our family, that would have been considered a magnum... as my granddad and uncles, I think a 30/30 Lever Action was the bread and butter firearm for almost every one of them.... and when I was a kid, they were pretty old then... stuff purchased back in the 20s or 30s... anything from the 40s was relatively new...
but there were some 32 Win Specials,38/55s, 32/40s, & 44/40s in the mix as I recall....

Sure is dark-antlered. Coast or Cascades?

John,
The old guys all used 300 Savages with some mdl 64 32 Specials mixed in. Most of us kids used mdl 94 30-30's.
One of my cousins showed up to hunt with a 3006 and we all wondered why was he hunting with a monster elk gun.
The old man kills a buck every year with his 300 Savage.

from where he layed you can see that Pacific Ocean really well. It's the hemlock it really darkness the antlers.

The kid made the Oregon Youth Cascade Buck book with this one. ![[Linked Image]](http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l198/Rogue280/IMG_8711.jpg) He used my 99f in 308. I haven't hunted with it since he turned 12.
