A question for collectors?
Wondering what caliber you would buy in a rebarreled 99? Would it be a 7mm-08 or 358 win? Or other older cartridges 32-40 38-55?
Cartridges never offered?
Very curious here please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks Chris

Maybe a 1-10 twist 250-3000 stock or rebarreled
Maybe a 35 rem in a EG. or maybe a G.
A 32-40, a 32 win spcl would get.my attention. Others i am sure. If i think about it.

A .32-40 would have me thinking.

I've already built mine. 35 Rem EG
But, I have always wanted a 32-40.
The question for me is what platform would I build it on?

The question for me is what platform would I build it on? A 3030 G? Be just a barrel id bet. Or a ruger #1 with a 30 inch octagon 1 inch on the flats? Or a highwall instead of the ruger. Probably cost the same today.

.25-35, preferably a takedown carbine that would fit into my carpetbag.
Was Mike Armstrong. Got logged off; couldn't log back on. RE-registered my old call sign, Mesa.

Chris, I'd like a 450 Bushmaster, anything on a 284 case starting with a 338, 375, maybe a 6.5.

I would get (..already have one from CTW ) a 7-08 barrel, because it fits any post-mil receiver, and it's almost as popular as the 308 here in the NE. But the 7-08 will never replace the 284 here at my house.
I am currently nursing a chronic desire for another 99 barrel band, and I would think making a slew of 250 replacement barrels with the optional cross-cut for the forearm pin..? But alas, the affordable donor rifles seem all but gone, of course 250's have always demanded a premium no matter what model.

Speaking of 250 barrel bands, this one has a later factory replacement barrel with a 1-10" twist. Old gun, modern twist. Best of both worlds. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/YsnoYnH.jpg)

I have to respect the late Ken Waters' opinion that the .338 Federal is an improvement on both the .308 and the .358.

A .224 caliber fast twist 22HP with the base dimension tightened up so you don't get the bulge from undersized brass.
Question...what dimensions are different between a fixed barrel rifle and a take down barreled rifled?
