Hello All,
I am a new Savage owner, having picked up a 1949 EG Savage 99 in .300 Savage to go deer hunting here in Manitoba, Canada. Because I was stand hunting in thick stuff, I just left the iron sights on it, and sighted in at 50 yards, and called it a day. Now it seems that I will likely be moving to Saskatchewan, which is kinda like Montana or the Dakotas; lots of long shots in the 250-300 yard range, unless you get surprised with the odd close one. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone could tell me the effective hunting range of this gun in this caliber? I dont want to go drilling and tapping it for a scope if I should be looking for something else for long range shooting on the lone prairie. Thanks in advance...
