If you can get it for 250-300, then I'd grab it and giggle all the way home.
Think about it guys! That's one hell of a hunting rifle for $300.00. Sure, it has birch wood on it, but it's still a Savage 99 which means it's light weight, reliable, accurate and that round under belly means it's a pleasure to carry in the woods.
Not the stuff that makes a safe queen, but a better hunting rifle cannot be had for $300.00
