"Never force anything, just get a bigger hammer". For the most part I agree but when doing woodwork I mostly use a 13oz Plumb finish hammer. Works just fine for pounding 20 penny spikes too. They're hard to find these days.  Sorry for the side step.

The 250-3000 is the darling. The .300 Savage works like a journeyman. The .358 Win is nice but superfluous. The .300 Savage will do anything either of the other cartridges will do. It just won't be as spectacular. Its an excellent tool. I'm in your camp. I dabble with the others, but I always come back to the .300 S. My bread and butter of whitetail hunting.

If you are a reloader, it is easy to make 358 out of 308 cases. I do it all the time.

Went to a gunshow today and saw a very nice 99H 250 and a 99T
250. 99T was drilled and tapped for a scope, and no rear sight,
but looked perfect everywhere else. Also saw a Steyr 257Roberts
on the same table, no 358s though. I'd like to go to a gun show with you. I've never found anything like that in the hundreds of shows I've attended.

I haven't seen the 300 Sav. in a LGS shelf for years here. It is a classic though.

My secret Greg, is to shop around when Im broke, I see all kinds
of cool guns that way. When I have money in my pocket I cant
find anything.

Went to a lgs and saw two boxes of Winchester 358. Will go back with the money tomorrow. DIDN'T SEE ANY 300 SAVAGE though!

I was waiting to see the outcome tonight, but someone pulled the trigger on this one. Savage99F358

I have doubts as to that being a "real deal". You don't think they would "fake it" do you?
I recall a pre mil 358f going last year for less than that.
Whoever has one of those late guns for sale would like you to believe they can get that kind of $$.

I searched back 90 days for the same guns sold and came up with these---- http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=353865164http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=346902431Not as high, but one had a buy now which stopped higher bids. I believe the sale was legit, especially with the layaway attached to the buynow. You don't often see layaways offered. Savage99F358
