Based on the number of really old Savage 99s chambered with the round out during Elk season
that I've seen here in Oregon... one would have to assume "hell yes".....
Every guy ya see one with, will tell ya its been killing deer and elk ever since Grandpa got it from the store or inherited from his dad....
People tend to keep using stuff that just plain works...
I love my old Savage although I haven't shot an elk with it yet.
