[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1386018, member: 101677"] My grandfathers savage 99 in 308. A 60’s model with brass tumbler mag. Steel butt plate. Jumps and recoil is better with a jacket lol but shoots decent. I would shoot it comfortably to 300. It’s probably shot as many deer as any gun in Canada. It was his only center fire rifle that he bought as a young man and hunted for decades with it. I hunted with it until I was 20 or so and it came out of retirement last year as a buddy used it to kill his moose. 180 corelokts still get the job done. When my buddy shot the gun checking the zero, he has a long neck and puts his head close to the scope. Grandpa John bit him. Haha. Split his brow open. So we had to move the scope ahead. That gun won’t be changed or sold, but will get used when the occasion rises! [/QUOTE]
