Never really knew what I had until now. Thanks for the info. I got it for a birthday present when I was 10 and that is what my wife deer hunts with now.

My wife hunts deer with the 250 Savage in the 700 Classic. They are a fine deer rifle with almost no recoil but yet pretty effective.

hows the ammo. suppy on that round ?

James B

Most bigger sporting goods stores carry 250 ammo. You won't find it at Walmart however. I reload for mine anyway.

Now James ,You know you should leave that one alone I am sure you already have enough guns.[8D]J/K Sounds like a good deal jump on it.

James B

I always have enough guns. Sometimes however I don't have all the RIGHT guns.. I called the guy yesterday and told him I wanted it for sure. I will pick it up next week.

I have a Savage 99 chambered for 300 Savage. I absolutely love the gun. I have only killed 1 deer with it, but I plan on shooting at least 1 or 2 does with it in the extended doe season in January. It has a crappy 4x32 Bushnell scope on it, I will probably swap a different scope on it before January and I might just load up some 125gr Nosler BTs for it....

If anyone could post up some pics of their 99s with scopes mounted it would be appreciated, I don't like how mine is setup and would like to get some other ideas on new mounts.

Gotta love the old iron!

I picked the 99 up today and checked the serial number. It says 1951 or later. I picked up one box of factory 100 grainers to try it out.
