This is a 110 pound spike I got the day before thanksgiving. The rifle is a model "E" in 308. I wanted a rifle that I could turn into my personal version of a carbine and knew it was not considered very collectible. I restocked it including a buttplate from a Ruger 44 carbine. The result is a well balanced rifle that is very maneuverable in close quarters.

I wasn't going to post this because it doesn't count if you don't have photos. I shot a yearling cow elk in the head on Monday. It was so ugly I didn't take any photos. The ivories disappeared in the catastrophe. I had aimed at the neck just behind the head. I had switched to the 300 Weatherby because we hadn't been able to get close enough to the elk for the last couple weeks for any Savage 99 cartridge. The shot was at 300 plus yards. David

Meat in the freezer! Good job. And I appreciate the lack of pictures.

Nice job David. Since I don't own any magnum cartridge rifles anymore, I'd have to do that with a 99 in 284. I think it'd work fine.

Last Monday and Tuesday, in WV, saw 0 deer. This Monday saw 2 flags, and 2 small baldies at over 200 yards. Have permission to hunt one day on a friends farm. My BIL works there and has a pic on his cell of the biggest deer I have ever seen. I don't think one person could put their arms around it's neck. It's a giant fork that is way, way outside it's ears with massive brow tines. Six point or 3X3. Have to work Saturday, so that cuts into chances, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Oh, Gary, John shot two nice bucks with his crossbow, and two more with shotgun. Four deer in 5 days, Joe.

The 284 works too. I killed an elk with mine two years ago. I didn't have any ammo loaded for it so took the 300 Wby which also gives me the option of taking an elk out to 400 yards. Good luck to all you guys who haven't filled your licenses yet. David

I popped this 5 point on opening day here in WI I used the 1899A2 Special in 32-40. [/URL][/img] It was an amazing experience taking the old girl out to the woods again. The acquisition story is here: 1899A2 Special

Roy, I saw more deer than you, 4 of them rascals. My highlight was the patch of black fur on my phone pole where a bear scratched his back, Joe.
