Torn between my 250 and 300 savage rifles. Don't really need much else but where's the fun in that?
Nice.👍 Don’t hear mention of the .250-3000 much these days. Savage model 99 rifles I presume
yep, mostly love them because of the rifles they're chambered in. The 99 is the nicest lever action in existence in my opinion. Anyone who has never carried one is missing out! They carry more like a 20 gauge shotgun than a typical rifle. The savage cartridges give you as much performance as you'll likely ever need, without excessive recoil or muzzle blast or noise.
My 250 is a mid 70s straight stocked 99a that will put 100gr nosler ballistic tips in an inch at 100yd, clocking 2900fps. My 300 is a 99f made in 1960, i picked it up recently and will likely take the 250's place as my all around westside rifle, once i work up a good load for it. Just has a little more thump with a 150gr or 165gr slug, for when elk or bear might be the hr target.
