Re: Selling a gun when heavily invested in ammo/components

What are your home brews?I wouldn't be scared to shoot handloads if the load was published and they weren't max loads.

Re: Savage 99 lever Q.

i wouldn't try to weld one myself,I can weld but not real good at small welding jobs,I just thought a 99 might look good with a large"John Wayne" loop.

Re: Savage 99F in 300 Savage Year of birth help

Look at the lever pivot and see if there is a small circle with a number and letter in it.there is a letter code chart on the net,cant rember where,that tells manuf year of later models.mine is a 66 and has a letter T.

Mine?I like running a 300 gr Hornady XTP in front of 19.5 gr of H110 out of my '94AE.Same load for my Redhawk.Never shot any game with this load but it is real accurate in both guns.
