BM, You are correct. That group definitely shows a flaw in the gun. But this is your lucky day. I will buy that rifle off of you, at a reduced cost of course, and use it for parts, someday. Really, nice shooting. I have a 300 G that shoots at least that good. Killed a nice buck with it. Still trying to get the 303 out. I went turkey hunting with my son instead last Sat and ended up calling him in a nice bird. ![[Linked Image]](http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e242/sierpienja/image_zpsyneufyuv.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e242/sierpienja/image_zpsvumbvhct.jpeg)

Jeff and wife are doing an exemplary job of raising them!

Very nice, I have a 99 pre G in 250-3000 in excellent condtiona, all original with the peep site, looks like your twin, love the way it feels, but I won't shoot it, don't want to devalue it, I have 3 other 99 shooters, and I just picked up a VG+ condition pre WWII 99R in 303 savage that makes 4 99R's in my locker need two more calibers to complete that set.
......... 99's FOREVER .........
