Any opinions or thoughts on the round? I'm wanting another model 99 lever action, and wondered if it was a well thought of cartridge or not.
I've had a couple but always ended up getting a good deal to let someone else have them, and the ones I have had weren't in the most desirable caliber's. yes I agree they are great, the model 99 the browning BLR and the 444 marlin are all in my top 5 favorite hunting rifles.highgrit":g36a4nr6 said:Lucky you DM, I think it's a fine round and the Savage 99 is the best. I've been looking for one myself, lots of nice one's out there. I traded one off in the early eighties and kick myself to this day about doing it.
Every gun show I see a number of 99s in 300 savage, I'm still looking for one in 250-3000. Seem to be scarcer then hens teethhighgrit":35yd7pqe said:Lucky you DM, I think it's a fine round and the Savage 99 is the best. I've been looking for one myself, lots of nice one's out there.

I've got an older M70 carbine in 250-300 so I guess that's as clsoe as I'll get that I can afford. CFPINZ found me one last year that had a new stock and some other embelishments, but 5k was a bit much for a shooter3waycross":2lh88jj7 said:dun":2lh88jj7 said:Every gun show I see a number of 99s in 300 savage, I'm still looking for one in 250-3000.

If you do find one it will probably be shot out. That lever makes it pretty easy to burn thru ammo!
