Me and my son-in-law with antelopes taken this past Tuesday in Dalhart Tx. I used my 1929G in 250 Svg and took mine on the right with a single shot at just under 245 yds. Son-in-law into the militaria and shot his with his 308 SCAR at 175 yds. I'm obviously old school and the old 99 has not let me down yet  ![[Linked Image]](http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n598/Mac1949/Antelope2015_zpsw0zaco32.jpg)

This is a good place to ask this question. Is anyone producing new 250-3000 ammo? A guy just asked me, I did an internet search and I couldn't find anyone making it including PPU and Selior and Beloi.

Nice photo. Looks like your 99 outshines the other one! Congratulations!

Thanks,
Wayne Wayne, used factory Rem C-Lkt in 100gr. Got this "G" for $459.00. Seems no one wanted it since it had been non-factory D/T. I'm a hunter and shooter so no problem for me. It shoots less than 3/4 MOA all the time, if I'm doing my job
