Title: Savage 99 in 300 Savage
Post by: yorketransport on December 13, 2009, 06:04:00 PM: I picked up a Savage 99E in 300 Savage today. It's well used, but in good enough condition for me. I've always wanted on in 358 Win, but this should work for now. The best part is that I got it for $275. :IBCOOL: Now I want to find an appropriate scope to give it a nice clasic look.

This is a Weaver K-3 on a 99, the Leupold is a little more compact and just looks better and works better. A Weaver V-3 is a nice compact scope that would work well as is the Leupold VX-II 1x4x20
