Congratulations! I love the 1/4 bores. I didn't see any antlers all season long in NY, but I did fill a doe tag with an FN Carolina built 70 Featherweight in my favorite, 257 Rob. I would love to find a rat 99, rebarrel it to a 20" 257 Rob and redo the stock with a satin hand rubbed Permalyn oil finish. Of course, I still want an 1899 250-3000 in very good condition.
