It had the mushiest trigger of any 99 I ever owned. 99's are funny like that, some have perfectly acceptable triggers and others are just gawd awful. Assuming that gun ain't the one I had, you can't beat that setup as a deer hunter. I like all 99's but I especially like the ones you can take hunting. "You cannot invade mainland America.

I have to take the snowmobile out back and shovel out the bench. It will be few days though, forecast is down to zero tomorrow, -20F Thursday, then snow Friday/Sat. Maybe up to 20 above middle of next week.

I couldn't handload anything that would group as well as the Remington 150 gr. CorLoc and believe me I tried. Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths.

Not as desirable to most but shoots very well.
