Silly maybe, but a double, on such a comfy round..........it'd be quite the gentleman.


Double rifles have to be regulated to shoot worth a damn and that costs a lot more than it is worth to most people.

I've long wondered why Savage didn't chamber the Model 99 for the 35 REM once they adapted the action for the rimless 250-3000 in 1915.

It seems as though the 32 WS and 35 REM would both have been good fits in both the pre- and post-WW1 line up of cartridges that Savage did chamber.

Pre-WW1: 22HP, 25-35, 250-3000, 30-30, 303 SAV, 32-40, and 38-55.

Post-WW1: 22HP, 250-3000, 30-30, 303 SAV, and 300 SAV.
