Moose taken with 99/358cal - 12/12/15
Found this pic online, while looking at a scope review.
I like it, so I dropped it here for all to see. Maybe someone can paste it here, instead of having to use the link?

Here was the review of the Burris E1 2-7x scope, and some hunt details:
"I purchased this scope for my savage 99/358 winchester carbine. During moose hunting season, it took a few accidental dips into the creek, and was dropped a few times. When the time came to make that 100 yard shot on a very large bull moose, I feared the scope may not have been aligned to the bore. Not the case. Two shots into the big 55" racked bull moose later revealed hits precisely where I aimed. I'm shooting 275 grain 35 caliber bullets, and I felt the eye relief was plenty. The clarity of the scope is outstanding. My only complaint is the large tactical style windage/elevation caps. They feel bulky when I try to carry the rifle by the receiver. But only a minor issue, as the scope is otherwise trim, compact and perfect a size for a modern lever rifle carbine. What a scope for the money.....sure can take an Alaskan barrage of abuse."
