The old 99 has some special meaning to me. Dad hunted with a 99. Went out on the day my older brother was born and bought it on a loan. Mom would have skinned him alive if she'd known. It was always known that that gun would come down to my brother, and when Dad passed, it did. The one I own was owned by one of the other guys in our camp. When he quit hunting, he sold it to me. It's not Dad's but I'm sure Dad handled it, or shared a stand with Bob when he still had that gun. It's priceless to me.
Special thanks to MILES58 for the handloads he cooked up for me. Varget powder and a 130 gr. TTSX bullet. Way more accurate than I could ever ask for. Now the proof's in the pudding.
