I had a savage99 in 308 it was so accurate it was scarie,I used it to head shoot deer up to 100 yds and never missed or lost one, but like a dumbazz I sold it to get a 7mm08 which I missed three deer as close as 50 yds to 100 yds the first year I hunted with it(shoulder shots not head). the first shot from a cold barrel was always a flier the rest would group under an inch. I tried sighting it in on a cold barrel but the flyer would be in any direction. so I sold it and used my old reliable 30-06 and kicked my azz for selling my 99. mad
