I do enjoy all the calibers that are out there, and maybe some that haven't even become mainstream yet. Grandfather was a gunsmith and made a good living in the 50's and 60's sporterizing military rifles. Mauser 98's, Swede 96's and 38's, and the list was long.
I was handed down a Savage 99 from my father-in-law years ago. It's a take-down beauty in .300 savage, circa 1926 I believe. I has no scope and never will cuz just can't drill and tap it .. it's too pretty to touch. Wears a nice Redfield receiver peep that works just fine out to about 200 yards if you 've got the eyes. Unfortunately for me, my eyes can only use it well enough to hunt out to maybe 75-85 yards, so it's going to the young kid, my 33 yr old son soon, to continue it's journey through the years.
