Interesting thread to the see the fondness for the old 99.. I have had several.. Now I have one a 250 that belonged to my FIL... 4 or 5 years ago, I had a couple of them out to hunt antelope and deer.. The low combs, and safety position were just a pain after a life time of bolt actions.. So I sold all but the .250.. Never missed them a bit.. All with what you learn to use I guess.. My family in general used lots of 99's, but my grandfather was a bolt action man, and I learned from him.. Nice to see all the 99's appreciated by others..
