This old girl should be hitting the timber in the morning ![[Linked Image]](http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j312/99trix/10199C284.jpg) 99C in 284 win, my go to rifle. Restocked with new savage wood (life is too short to hunt with an ugly rifle). Just hated the pressed checkered wood! ![[Linked Image]](http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j312/99trix/10299C284.jpg) Blair Wow, that's a shooter! With factory ammo? Is that a fluke or is it consistently that accurate? No excuses for you at the end of season by the way.

Factory ammo. I couldn't get this thing to shoot worth a darn with the factory wood, so I changed the wood. Then I could get it to repeat 2 shots and the 3rd would be a flier. So then I put a little rubber o-ring on the forestock screw between the wood and barrel and bingo! Shoots like a house on fire. I can put an entire box of ammo through it now with repeatable results. And yes I have no excuses!

Nice group Blair.
Is it Blacktails on the island? Or Big Game in AB?

I will be headed out the 16th with my Savage 220F. It's not a 99 but in the Indiana Territory we are pretty limited on what we can use !

Sure wish I could take my 1899/99's out to (deer)hunt..  Sure hurts owning these guys and not being able to hunt with them. Illinois does not allow centerfire rifle of any kind on deer. I hunt whitetail with pistol, Ruger Super Redhawk. Varmints are about the only thing really applicable for centerfire rifle in Illinois. sure enjoyed reading thru this thread! dave
