The 99T belonged to my Grandpap, Way too much sentimental value to ever let it go. I will try to see how many generations can take a deer with this rifle. My son is the fourth and really likes how well it shoots.

Guys-

Just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to hunt with the .250 for the first time. Took a small buck (pic) attached) and a larger 8 point. The pics of the eight were too dark to use.
Anyway,the in laws were happy to see Grandpa's guns put to good use. Both bucks were shot with iron sights, one at 40yds., the other at 90. The .250 did an amazing job of putting both deer down FAST. I'm sold on that little gun.

Great camp pole. I miss the old blacktail deer hunts with my dad, grandpa (next door neighbor that adopted me) and others. Like you say, it doesn't get any better, anywhere, anytime. Good job.

Nothing to brag about, but this well worn EG in 250-3000 is still putting meat in the freezer.

Thanks Jim. I actually made the knife from a knife kit I ordered online last winter. I was sceptical of the quality, but it seems to be good steel so far.

Nice deer. What's going on with the back legs of the one on the left? Why are they drawn up?

I shot a sow which was a bit larger than the boar from a couple weeks ago. I HATE pigs with a passion.

"Let's see you 2011 Deer photos taken with your Savage."

Not one of my 99s, but does a 340 count as a classic Savage?

LOL, it was a special early season they do in the area around Kansas City so it was early October. I had already killed two in our September muzzle loader season, this doe here was my first with a "small bore" bullet I cast myself. The little 340 has endeared itself to me.

For the record, I have a couple of 99s, I will get at least one of them out in the field someday.
