Was minding my own buisness at Cabela's today and what did I find? A 99E in 243! I've been looking for a 99 that I can mount a scope on, and dreadfully regretting passing up a like new 99C(?) in 243 a couple years ago. So brought this one home for 600 without scope and rings. How did I do?

You're going to love it, and you did fine, you got a rifle you always wanted!

My wife hunts with a 99E in 243. It has killed every deer that she has taken a shot at. I would say you did fine, especially at Cabelas.

I have loaded for three different 99s in 243. That caliber has been my most consistently accurate 99

You did very well. You got a rifle you've always wanted for a price you were willing to pay!

Congrats! Enjoy the new 99. I hope it has the old-style trigger.
