So......did you make this trade or not? If so, does it shoot well for you?
I inherited my grandfathers, then my Dad's ,now mine, Savage 99 250-3000 with a set of Lyman sights on it made the same year I was...1956
Handles very well, is an easy rifle to carry all day and the 250 Savage really is a very good cartridge for Montana deer and antelope.
I shot a very nice 4 point Mule deer last deer at a measured 125 yards using an 85 gr. Nosler Balllistic Tip. One shot...One kill. The bullet did EXACTLY what it was designed to do.
That hunt was a nostalgia hunt for me as I got to use the Savage to make the shot and Dad's old Herters #2 Improved hunting knife to field dress it.
So I got to go hunting again with both my Dad and Grandpa both of whom have been deceased for a long time.
Thanks Dad...Thanks Grandpa!!!
