My Grand Parents gave me a brand new 99A in 250 for Christmas in 1971, I was 2 years old at the time. It loves 100 grain Sierra Gamekings. Luckily, I was smart enough to hold onto the original box that it came in. I own a good number of 99s, that one remains my favorite. It wears an old Weaver K3, and NO sling swivels, still. I would like to find one in 243 that I wouldn't have to sell a kidney to be able to afford.
