got my venison for the year
I was out sneaking around my friend's farm this morning to see if anything was around. I had been hunting his place almost all week. I missed one last Sunday and haven't seen anything since. I was very frosty this morning and the ground was frozen hard making walking sort of crunchy. I did my normal...

Re: Savage 99 EG in 303 savage
Serial number stamped on the end of the forearm matches rifle. A model T is apparently semi rare, yet all photos I have seen of the T model have a curved lever. I'll keep searching when i have time. Any ideas appreciated.

Re: Savage 99 EG in 303 savage
My mistake in saying it is an EG (got to get these glasses checked) No other model designation other than Model 99.

I think I did ok today. I picked up a 99 EG in 303 savage with a box of Imperial 190 gr rounds for $150. Seemed good to me. There is a crack in the stock by the butt plate but repairable.

Re: 35 is caliber of choice for 2014 deer
I'm not quite sure yet what I'll be using. Probably my 356 model 94, but I have a savage 99 F in 300 that isn't blood stained yet and a left hand Zastava side lever in 6.5x55 that hasn't been carried much yet, but shoots real nice. Time and weather will tell I guess. Best of luck everyone.

Re: What Scope would you suggest
I am a fan of low power scopes. 1.5 to 4.5 or 2 to7 on most of my rifles with scopes. I do have a 3 to 9 but it is usually at the lower setting. I only use the higher setting to check out the rifle. If I can't see the target (animal ie deer etc) at the lower setting it is too far away in my opinion.

Re: 358 Moose Bullet
I would think penetration is most important. The FTX might expand too quickly for moose. I get good accuracy with 200 gr Hornady round nose. I have not tried the Speer 225 in my 356, but it might be a good compromise if it shoots well in your rifle.

I have fired a lot of that CIL ammo. My Dad used to work at the factory where it was made and could get factory seconds. Usually nothing major especially the shotgun ammo. They usually had either a bad crimp or double stamped shot size. I still have a few around.
