I got my first 99 deer 42 years ago, and have since taken prairie dogs, one coyote, whitetails, mule deer and one elk with 99's from .22 High-Power to .358 Winchester. They work! “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

John, Yes, I like old school when it comes to deer hunting. The only thing missing is my Stormy Kromer. Actually, I got a 700 that needs some duty this fall. I might take it your way in MT come Oct if I draw a combo tag, and don't get deployed.

Guys, please tell me you were wearing some kind of boot that laced up to your knee, with long wool socks sticking above the tops... That pic, and the early winter lack of foliage, is a cool combo...

I know the previous owner took it out west, no way of knowing what it did out there....... If at first you don't succeed, try something drastic..............

I hunt with an F in 22HP, a trio of the original 250-3000s, a couple of Gs in .300 and a B and C in .303. No bull elk as of yet. Been holding out for a good one. Past up a few in Canada last year. When I shot the wolf my guide said to me "there probably aren't many hunters that've killed wolves with a Savage 99". My response to him was, I bet your wrong.

Didn't matter to my trusty 99, as the bullet plowed right through the tree and still killed the deer. It was a very lucky shot, but lord knows I deserve a little luck once in a while. molɔ̀ːn labé skýla

All said, the Savage 99 is a genius of a rifle.

I would have taken my 308R on an alaskan dall sheep hunt but, I couldn't stand the thought of damage to it even though the coolness factor was great.

My .250-3000 EG's diet was Speer 100 grain for one deer. Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths.
