lol, I had never taken the tag off it from when I bought it. I thought about naming it Minnie Pearl. I took the tag off out of boredom after I took the picture.

Would you all let a pic or two slide of there wasn't a Savage involved? I AM still a Savage accumulator.

Brother shot this 3x3 with his 99f in 358(rebore) at 15 yards. Hornady ammo.

My doe with my 99F in 300 Sav at 70 yards, 180 grain silvertip.

My last day buck at 30 yards with same setup as above. The MPI stock set up is nice for brush hunting. Wood will go on it back later.

Congrats, Jim! Very awesome that you let those big bucks on your trailcam grow bigger for next year. That takes more restraint than I have...

Tooled all over a very large ranch on the back of a 4-wheeler in rain, sleet and snow all morning looking for a cow elk. My bubbaed 99G 300 may never be the same after the soaking it took. The stock is much lighter colored now. I've gotta quit hanging out with young guys. There is no way I would have done that on my own but I'm the one who has permission to hunt the ranch so I couldn't very well say, "knock yourself out buddy, I'm staying in the pickup.". David

Leave the pretty one's at home when it's raining.

Or pick yourself up a junker and powdercoat the rifle and paint the wood. wink

It's the usual old story. It wasn't raining, sleeting or snowing when we went out. But the weather forecast was for snow. It's not supposed to rain here this time of year. Shoulda known better than to take the 99G. I was leaning towards taking the Weatherby Accumark in 300 Wby and should have. It's pretty impervious to foul weather. I've got the 99G apart and I think it'll be OK. I didn't take notes on stock oils for guns of this era. If someone could post that info again I'd appreciate it. Those weatherproof 99's of yours are looking better and better Roy. The G is seriously bubbaed but is in really good shape as far as the bluing and wood condition so I hate to go that route with it. I've got a 99F 308 with a bulge just behind the front sight that is a better candidate. Going back out tomorrow so maybe I'll get lucky. Precipitation is predicted for the afternoon so I may take the Weatherby. Will post results if I get lucky. David

Nice buck Jim! Went 0-fer Monday and Tuesday in WV. Got some work done on the trailer. The trailer is so old it's ready to rust in half. The door is so out of square it wouldn't close all the way. My brother in law brought up a new storm door and we got it on. The first night it was about 30 out side and with the propane heater on high I got it almost to 60. After we got the new door on the temp went to 85 with the heater on low. Still have MD and some time in WV. All's not lost yet, Joe.


I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
