1tnhunter, I think with the hand fitting required, the 99 was to expensive to make.. Had three at one time.. only one now...

To be honest though, I'm torn between what looks better in your photo - as calf moose is about the top of the heap when it comes to game meat that I've tried. That sir has the potential to be many, many fine dining experiences. cool cool

Thanks again sir for your contribution tonight, all the best to you folks and good luck on your remaining hunts this fall.

Thanks for your kind words Dwayne. Alas, that calf was eaten up far too soon! Very yummy.
Regarding the mods to my rifle, I kept all the original parts and had the new ones fitted by Ralf Martini so that the originals could be replaced at a later date. I was very reluctant to do any mods to this old and classic rifle but this way I can have my customized rifle and the original too!

Hey - did you steel that out of my gun safe?

Nope - I just checked and its brother is still there.

Got too expensive to sell - too much hand fitting.

It doesn't seem like the browning BLR has filled the void and the price is high on that one too.

5.56 62 grain TSX or TTSX over 26 grains of TAC in a WW case, the semi auto is handy when a bunch of hogs show up, for deer I only lose one case.

I have a Saturn sedan that has taken many a deer on it's last ride including the buck in my avatar, killed last year. It was a bit of a challenge loading that one after dragging it 500 yards in a cold rain with a wrenched back. I don't have a field photo of it yet but I used my current favorite rifle, a LH 700 stainless with a Rock Creek barrel chambered by GAP.

I've decided I can't shoot a bolt action in the woods worth a sheit. I've been hunting Savage levers forever. This 284 has been producing for me this year, but any of them will work.
