[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 1955950, member: 37460"] Right on^^^, Classics! Just like the 250-3000 Savage and the 284 Winchester. Everybody always likes the latest and greatest hot rod (i’m Guilty), but nothing wrong with a super nice Fastback or Stingray either. Ruger still chambers bolt action rifles in the 250 Savage. I collect the 99’s and here’s a little history: “Savage introduced the .250/3000 in 1914. It's caliber designation ".250/3000" got it's name by being a .25 caliber and the first center-fire rifle to exceed 3,000 fps... an amazing muzzle velocity at that time. This caliber designation was eventually changed to simply .250 Savage.” Not hijacking the thread, just adding some cool history for some to check out. [/QUOTE]
