Gotta agree with Paul. Because of Dad is reason enough. My dad used a Savage 99 250-3000 that belonged to his dad. It's mine now, as is a 700 Classic and Dakota 76 in the same caliber. Because of dad is probably the ultimate reason, IMHO, to have a rifle in a particular caliber or configuration. Do the Bob.
