Little wonder why he attempts to insult others. What a small ( pun intended) little man. To all others actually participating constructively, thank you.

I like the 139 HBTSTP over Surplus 4831 @ almost 3000 fps, 2986--2994 A couple that HATE the 284. This guy was walking straight away from me @ 150 yds. Shot in back of the neck, nose in the DIRT.

I think it’s pretty much a dealer exclusive similar to the High Country. 308 Win w/HSM 165 Gr Sierra Tipped GK groups right around 1” Cabelas / Meopta 3-9x40 Hope to get it bloody in a few weeks. And it’ll work on larger stuff too. Last edited by philgood80; 10/26/21.

Now I’m on the hunt for one. A Savage 99 in 300 savage would be a great all around deer rifle. The expert at anything was once a beginner. JC
