I just now visited this sub-forum for the first time, even though I have been a member here on the 'Fire for a few years. Can't believe I have missed out on all the great M99 content here.
Anyway, here's my AZ cow elk from 2020. M99E, born as a .308, but now wears a NOS Savage 99 .358 barrel I found on eBay (really!) in 2007. It shoots great and hits like a hammer. Old Leupold VX-II 1-4.

Cheers,
Rex

Moose and elk... I'm craving a steak already. Nice job to both, though I love the picture with the kids! Good job.

Nothing like spring bear in B.C.! I took this guy Friday morning with my 1899B that was built in 1907. It was my dad's rifle and he handed it down to me almost 3 years to the day before I took this bear. The rifle was featured in this thread. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt.../re-the-tale-of-two-savages#Post13763827


It's been my mission since then to find a bear with it and I couldn't be happier with the one I finally connected on. I was sitting in my tree stand Friday morning in a spot that is absolutely full of good bears when this fella showed up. This is one of two boars in the area that were on my hit list. The other one is still out there and I'll be looking for him this week. Hopefully this old rifle (and the shooter) have plenty of years left in it.

Went out this weekend for a deer hunt....that didn't work out so well. It didn't work out so well for these birds.

Our fall turkey allows any bird, hens or toms. Shot these two at 30 yards. Used my Stevens 9478 in 20 ga. 3" #5 ammo. This shotgun has the barrel cut to 20", fiber optic sight and Remchoked. Used an extra full turkey choke.

One shot got both. I know, I got lucky. Fun morning in the woods.

The answer for one our esteemed members, no it's not for sale. He knows who he is. 😏
