Why stop at .375 caliber? I want me a .40 or .45 something-or-other. I wonder if a .458 American (.458x2") could be shoehorned into a 99? Perhaps a .300 blown out straight to .45 or thereabouts, headspaced on the case mouth a l� the automatic pistol cartridges? Just talking nonsense here, as I don't see myself confronting any beasts that a .22 HiPower or a .30-30 won't knock silly.

99f 284 from 1965. shoots good but I had the devils own time getting brass. tried some 6.5/284 necked but had all sorts of trouble there. finally got win 284 bras and been smooth sailing since. haven't shot it or loaded for it lately as I ran out of $$ and bullets at the same time. my 250 is an f also.

Don't know if it worked, but someone built one.

the way 99 stocks crack at the tang I wonder if a magnum cartridge would make toothpicks? i'll bet a guy could neck up the fat bodied 284 and have something that would sing!

shot at a small armadillo this afternoon at 75 yds with my 250EG with 100gr clkt and the bullet bounced off its armor and hit a squirrel. When I got to it, the squirrel had caught it between its teeth and was laughing at me...just ain't no firepower in a 250svg so guess I'll have to go to a 416 rigby

bullet bounced off its armor No need for to break out the 416...300 would have killed that armadillo grave yard dead. Just sayin

Can't think of a better reason for a new 99. Everybody should have a 99 armadillo gun...or two

I understand that the Russians are going to start selling a depleted uranium sabot round for the 250-3000 that will make 4K muzzle velocity and superior penetration on seven band armadillos. So fast that the innards are sucked out the off-side hole and so hot that the remaining 'dillo parts are dried and ready to display on a side table.
