Default RE: If you could bring back just one......

I would love to see a rerun of the 99 Savage in 300 and 250 Savage. Two great old calibers. Mild report, low recoil and deadly effective. Many a moose and elk dropped to the 300 Savage which was twice the gun that the 30-30 was but never gained the popularity. Partly because the Savage 99 was 50 years at least ahead of its time and pressure wise could handle calibers that had not even been thought up yet. A well mannered 308 you might say. With 165 grain and 180 grain, it would bring home all the members of the deer family with ease.
