I've spoke of my Uncle Bill's 99 EG in .300 before, scoped with an old K4...one with covered turrents but a non-centered retical. Those crosshairs were always a bit low and left of center, but pretty close. Bill was the best shot at running deer I have ever seen. When I was a kid, we were walking a gentle coulee with a long hill on the other side. This was in the 1970s when a person could get multiple mule deer doe tags. Six mule deer does came running out the far side of the coulee and headed up that hill. Bill started with the furthest one, and when the rifle was empty there were five deer rolling down that hill, all hit in the front half. Shots were probably about 70-90 yards. I was impressed.
