Lightning can strike anywhere anytime and a one hole target is just a one hole target.

And 3" rifles kill deer just as dead as 1" rifles.

Personally, I can't remember ever owning a 99 that I could not make accurate "enough" (at least by my standards) with the right ammo.

Some are/where more accurate than others. To me anyway, the quality of the trigger is often overlooked.

I always test the trigger before I look down the bore. All the 99's I currently own are very accurate and have very good (at least by 99 standards) triggers.

Perhaps I place more value on the trigger than others.

I've had 99's with good triggers and some that where horrible and everything tween.
