I'd have to check to be sure. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

I have pics of 3 99F 284s in the 1073xxx to 1075xxx, 2 have cut checkering, 1 has double-diamond pressed, all 3 have a gold trigger. Last edited by KeithNyst; 01/12/20.

You know, I have said time and again that the only post-mil I would want would be a .250 99A carbine. All this talk about .284's has me revising that thought.

It really gets the job done muy pronto with the Speer 145 grain btsp. Here's one train wreck piled up in a rock slide, from a 364 yard head shot!

The one on the rockslide looks a little bruised, but rack looks like it survived.

I used 140 gr. Nosler Accubonds on the elk. I'll have to try the Speer 145 gr. BTSP and see if I can get a good group with them. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.
