Each of the following four guns will get two days of carry (rotating each day for eight days):

1921 Savage 250-3000 model 99 lever: Can only get 87 grain to stabilize well, and that was some hard to find ammo.

Circa 1946 Mauser model 98 bolt action with set and hair triggers: very accurate weapon, not sure if its the hair trigger, but very tight in a 3" diameter center at 300yds. shoots 270 WCF

Remington 308: Short / light gun with a little kick. I'll probably put this one after the super heavy Mauser in the rotation.

The open sight Winchester commemorative 3030. I'm not-so-secretly hoping this is the one, just 'cause I'll feel a little more manly without the Leopulds Lol.

Thanks again everyone. In the few threads I've posted on this sight (the other about the Savage), I've learned a lot from a lot of very smart hunters and enthusiasts.
