Got this spike today with the 99E. I inherited the rifle when my brother passed away 5 years ago , been wanting to kill a deer with it ever since. I added the Weaver V 4.5. Weird antlers , they are rough , not smooth. Weird deer , had a "giraffe" neck. Mike

Impressive bullet performance. What did you use?

Great deer Mike. You get him over by the powerline or behind the house?
