Not the big one, but made last day meat this morning. A 1957 99F in 300 Sav with the a Leupold m8 6x, using 180 grain Silvertips. This rifle loves them, so that's what I feed her. 20 yard shot, ran about the same and piled up. The blood is the exit. Ground level shot. Maybe a big guy next year.

Way to go! Nice buck and a great rifle! Something about hunting with the older classics just adds something to the hunt for me. It seems like it does for a lot of other "Campfire" members also.

To me that’s more than a freezer filler. Nice buck and with a 99 it is a trophy for sure. 👍

Nice looking scope set up.
Can you use the iron sights when you detach the scope?
Congratulations.

That would qualify as at least “a big one” if not “the big one” here for this old Public Land hunter!
Nice work, buddy!

Congratulations. Yes I can. I have the same setup on my 99F in 358.
