Thanks guys. She is happy and has talked about it all morning...which of course is what really matters.

David, your rifle has a significantly higher "cool factor". She shoots left handed and fell in love with this rifle when we bought it in 99 (I had the stock shortened an inch for her and the boys and re-blued it before i knew better). This is the first animal for her with it...finally. Load was 150g Accubond and 44g RL15 which chronographs 2650 in this rifle. Scope is a 3X Leupold.

The USAFA hunt is basically a 2 day private land guided hunt put on by the USFWS on the Academy. We scouted for 2 weeks prior and saw 5 deer that were significantly larger than this one but the Thurs before the Sat opening, the rut came to a screeching halt and the big deer we had been seeing on a daily basis vanished. This deer was right in that "should I shoot or wait" zone but given the change, the hunting pressure (14 other hunters), and it's still a really nice deer, she took it. She had already passed 4 other 4pt deer that AM. Like i said, she's happy so thats what matters.

Congrats to all of the Savage hunters and their fantastic successes. It's a warm feeling to see people confident enough to use rifles and cartridges that are every bit as capable as the newest fad stuff.

Very nice!

Got to doe with my savage 99, 300 savage this morning

Nice job. She will eat well.

Maybe I will get a white tail with the 99K. We will be alternating between shooting photos (pun intended) of his rifles and hunting while at Brent's property.
Centennial, shooting anything with a Savage 99 is cool.

Dos Mas from this weekend

Nice.

Newbie here-- things were very scarce in MIchigan's Upper Peninsula this year, so I counted myself lucky to drop this nice little 6 point. .300 Savage broadside at 40 yards-- dropped like a rock.

No trophy here, but a good addition to the freezer, and as always, a good experience!

I'll try to post an image, if not...sorry-- I'll learn!

I never thought to pose the old Savage in the picture-- but a sharp-eyed shooter might see mine in this collection of non descript toys:

Again-- apologize if I can't get the image to post, and I'll work on a more formal portrait of my favorite deer rifle!

Welcome to the fire. Nice buck.

Here ya go, bandmastertom, it requires some tricks to embed photos from Google drive.

99K one, old non-typical whitetail zilch.


The first pic is Brent Geistweidt, me, the 99K and the buck. I shot it on Brent's White Ghost Ranch. He's got a breeding program going there.
The 99K is a 300 Savage. The load is a Nosler partician, 40 grains 4895, WLR primer and new Winchester brass.
I'm almost finished photographing his 99's and will be headed back to the cold snowy North Country later today. Gotta get home for Christmas.

Wow! That one's a wall hanger!

Wow David what a huge buck! He's got quite an operation there.

I was surprised when you mentioned Brent. I've got one of his rifles here waiting for him to decide where he wants me to send it to have a 22-250 made out of it. He paid for it about three years ago!! LOL Real interesting guy and a heck of a ranch! Can't believe that buck.

Good grief! What a score! Nice gun.

David, all i got is wow...WOW!

That's an amazing buck! Congrats David.

Damn nice deer David. Congrats.

First kill with this 99 since I purchased it last year.
