Something to talk about. One of my pet favorite rifles is my Savage 99 in 300 savage. I have a 1951 EG model and it shoots with anything out there for accuracy. This is a great eastern deer cartrige and when shooting a 150 gr bullet goes out at 2650 fps with very mild recoil. I would call the 300 a classic now but it kill with authority, trust me on that one. Remington put the 300 sav in their classic rifle line up. I just didn't get one. :wallbash: I have now added a 250-3000 sav EG 99 to the vault and hope to one day see how it hammers a deer. It's a 1948/49? with great wood.
