I answer this question in one form or another every few years.
About 20 years ago I grew fond of Savage 99s. I have a pile of them now. So, if someone knows a better handling whitetail rifle, I would like to hear it. I have sometimes missed, but never with a Savage 99.
Mine is either a Savage 99R in 308 or a Savage 99C in 284 Win. Both are death lasers on bucks. The walls in my two homes proves it.
I like them too, they feel good in your hands. I have 243, 308, 300 Savage, 358, and 284. I have one at Smith, becoming a 338 Federal. Also a 32-40 I love to shoot
