I've had two 99's in .300 Savage, may wind up with a .250-3000 some day. More a fan of the cartridges themselves, those two cover a lot of ground with much of it redundant.

I love them. I have one that I was told by a guy that owns over 1000 99s is the rarest 99 ever made. He told me he has looked for that particular 99 for years. Its a .303 light weight made in a year that nearly every 99 produced was a takedown and this one is a fixed barrel. We know the history of the gun from the time it was purchased new in 1924. He made me a standing offer to buy it. So what do I do with it? Hunt! I handgun hunt 99% of the time but Usually one day a year I break out one of the antique rifles. The last time I had that old 99 out I took out a very old buck that was marked before season as a management deer. He had gone way down hill. It was a perfect kill for the 99.
