 |
I pikced up a savage 99cd series A .243 yesterday. I am looking forward to killing a deer with it this season. I got a pretty good deal on it from what I can tell. I am looking forward to getting some reloads made up for it also.

Sounds like you did just fine. Decent Savage 99 rifles are getting harder to find. All the best...

Great find. I'm still kicking myself for passing up two different 99s years ago. One was a .300 Savage and the other was a .358 Winchester. What I really wanted was a .250-3000...now I wish I had both of them!

I usually do all my hunting with a 7mm rem mag slimjim. I have posted a few things about 7mm's but I have had it the longest so I don't need much info for it as compared to other guns I have.
I honestly was not looking for a savage 99 or a .243 when this deal came along but I am glad I picked it up. I am gonna get some batteries today so I can post some pics.
I actually have wanted one of these in a 300 sav and/or a 7/30 waters but they are usually way out of my price range.
