I have that movie in VHS.
I love the Trapper Nelson pack and the old binocs.

Any guess,s on the 99? Love the scenery Rams and country!

99G in 303? My guess.

Looks more like 300 Savage to me.

18:15 or so it shows him loading. looks like 300 savage to me.. rifle looks like an H

Takedown, straight stock, no checkering, shotgun buttplate... doesn’t look like a rimmed cartridge.

Going with 99F in 300.

I agree with Calhoun. I was just going to post about 18:15 shows loading 2 cartridges into magazine and neither look rimmed. Age and style of 99 would, in my opinion, only leave 250 or 300 and the bullet looks like a 180 grain 300 to me.

Rory, my eyes didn't catch a scnable on the foreend, that is why i went with H. did you see a scnable?

I can't tell if the front sight is dovetailed or integral...doesn't look like the later ramp.

99-H, 300 would have a ramp front sight.

Might be a 99-D

I didn’t get a look at the forearm, but a takedown rules out an H, could be a D, but they are a lot less common than F’s. I went with the odds.
