I picked up a 1936 99EG 300 this Spring. It seems to live the Remington 150 grain stuff very well. I would not be surprised it takes a deer or two this season.

Time to stir the pot a little. Im hunting with a 300 savage but not just any 300 savage. Shes from 1947( barrel is dated 46) and its a bolt action. Any guesses?? An all original model 70 winchester in 300 savage with a fixed 6x Leupold on her. She shoots a bullseye at 50 yds and at 100 yds with Remington factory 150s. My wifes gift to me for my 50th birthday and our 25th wedding anniversary. Hoping to shoot a buck or doe with her then she gets cleaned and buried in my safe. And yes im carrying it in a case to the blind that has a roof on it.

Probably the pre 64 Winchester Model 70 Featherweight that should be arriving tomorrow - a 1952 .308 that will be wearing a Leupold 2x7. Looking for a modern after market stock, a classic 6X scope and period bases and rings to mount on the rifle. It's my first pre 64 M70. Gotta see what these storied rifles can do with modern ammo and powders. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/xroYtZP.jpg) The 300 Savage is the parent cartridge...

For the general deer season in Pa. I'll probably alternate between a Kimber 84L Classic in 30-06 that followed me home earlier this year and the 358 Brush Gun. Crappy weather rifle will be the Ruger 77 that has a Boyd's laminate stock and Bushnell Elite with Rainguard on it. Also have a flintlock for the muzzleloader seasons.
PS, need to try and figure this photo thing out one of these days.

Being in the bottom half of Michigan's lower peninsula I can't use a centerfire rifle. The Savage 220 bolt action 20 gage get the call. Damm thing is so accurate it would make Roy proud!   Haven't had to adjust the scope in 7 years. Great gun.

But it's a 30-06.

As far as 99s go, the .22-250 (new to me), .303 and .375 will all likely get carried at least once. Might try to get the 24V .357 Maximum/20ga into the woods as well.

Heading to Maine in a couple weeks, 7 guys, there will be over 20 guns I'm sure. There will be several 99's, mine will be a 1926 EG 303, now that I have the Lightfoot mount. I'm also bringing my Marlin 375, and my Krieghof Drilling, couple handguns yet to be chosen. Its always a big show & tell.

That’s mostly a weather dependent answer for me. First up this season was the 48 EG in .300. EG looking for a Blacktail. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/V6QzQPmG/300sav-needs-a-big-buck.jpg) But, if the weather is snotty and I need to put in the miles on foot or quad, I’ll will for sure carry “ Killer “ my Kimber 6.5 CM. It’s much lighter and impervious to the weather. Killer in its original stock. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/hP3d2PmJ/2019-blacktail-6-5-CM-Kimber.jpg)
