I carry a Savage 99 C in 308 Win. It's topped with a 6X Bushnell . The scope and rifle have been mated for about 35 years now. I have shot antelope, deer and moose with this rig since 1970 and have no complaints about it. My farthest shot to date has been 250 yds. At this stage I''m afraid to change anything for fear of hexing my luck.
