The American icon Model 99 in .300 Savage was the perfect rifle/cartridge combo when hunting skills were required.
Don't get me wrong, please. I appreciate the 300 Savage and I agree that it'll get the job done in most situations:
That said, the 300 Savage will not do anything that can NOT be done with a 308 Win. It can be loaded down to savage performance levels.
Personally I wish the 99 had NOT been discontinued BUT the 300 Savage can be loaded FOR a long time in the future.
