The .300 Savage is the perfect W/T cartridge to my way of thinking. In fact, I load all my .30'06 deer loads to the .300's ballistics as non of my shots can exceed 100 yards. Funny how this came up because I just came back into the house after wandering about my property with my 1948 EG. Never d/t for a scope but, has a Redfield 70 and a Sheard front, which is a perfect combo for my eyes. Surprising how light and lively a rifle feels without a scope on top. Practicing for deer season I guess. grin
