I vividly remember reading JC after he took over at Outdoor Life. He was talking up the 280.
I remember looking at the 280 and thinking, huh, it can't be too bad as it does the same thing with 140gr bullet as the 270 does with the 130gr.
Then continued using the 270 for the last 30+ years. Can't say it any better than that

Ok,I was wrong on Jim Carmichel winning a Benchrest match in 2008-09. Here is what he did. Jim set a new World Record in March 2012 in the Light Varmint Class Benchrest Rifle(10.5 lbs max.) The new record is 100 yd aggregate group average size of .1441" for five five-shot groups.
Dude......I can get that size group any day of the week by only firing one shot out of a deuce.....better groups, more ammo economy.... That would be the Savage_99 way of shooting.

Here you go, don't need no stinkin' 22 caliber magnum, AI or any of that manly stuff for stunt shooting. My donor came from the WalMartian house, not the whorehouse. Here is a couple of 3 shot groups. Some 5 shot groups for verification. Originally a Remington 700 SPS 223 Montana rifle barrel picked up here,1:9, fluted, 22" and 0.575 at the muzzle Mickie edge picked up here. Action skeletonized, timney installed and set at 2 lbs. Talley LWT's Went with Leupy 2.5-8 Weighs 6.5 lbs empty Tried 50gr BT's & TTSX's, 55gr GMX's,& SP, and finally the 65gr Sierra Game Kings before I found a good load. But I think it may have more to do with the BL-C(2) instead of the Rel 10x. I have no idea what the velocity is, I will get it checked someday. This is going to be a truck/ranch/4 wheeler/tractor rifle. I do not do any varmint shooting as in dogtowns. But I like to hunt coyotes, Mt Lions, and shoot coons and skunks at the ranch.

Oh yeah, it is legal to shoot turkeys in SD with a rifle, so that may have to happen at least once.

Contribution outside the classifieds - so the Classified Nazis can hereby take a full-on GFY! He's so cheap - bet he'll end up shooting 223s out of it. I have actually thought about that. Believe it or not, I have only one .223 right now, and enough ammo loaded to burn the barrel on it easily....I need another .223..... Whatever floats ya'lls boat, but I gotta wonder about the whole "doner" deal when there's still old Remingtons that ---->>>>> 1956 300 Sav, Bedded, trigger adjusted. (Still have, peep-sighted deer kill'r) 243 SS Mtn Guide. (Elk Ivory's group) (Sold, deer wounding SOB rifle!) Or even a bone stock Savage 12 BVSS (Sold, too accurate? WTF!)

Yes, the barrel was fluted strictly for modest weight reduction. The first 222 I owned was a an absolutely georgous BDL. Way too nice for me to use/abuse. So I sold it to help fund this. Give it a couple of years and it will not be snazzy. Going to range this morning to dial in the leupy and then it will be off to the ranch to get some work done. There was a coyote out there over the weekend...maybe he will show himself again.

No...I tried that...did a zebra striped stock and caught so much flak for it I had to undo it or turn in my man card......then of course everyone thought it was cool... As for the spelling, Ive always been a spelling Nazi, and am now a retired Prof. I have no students to correct anymore...soooooo..... I can't help myself.

CB had this Giraffe pattern; it'd be swell on a 27-222 Furbee.
