My Savage 99 Update!
I posted several months ago that I had found and bought one of my "bucket list collectibles!" A Savage 99, in .300 Savage caliber, with a El Paso made Weaver K4, with the Post reticle!
I had a hard time finding ammo and did not have the time to fool around with it until the last couple of weeks. As near as I can tell, it was made in the 40's and is in very good shape!
I found a box of Federal 180 Gr. Soft Points and some Rem. Core-Locts 150 Gr. PSP's.
The 99 didn't like the Fed. 180's, but after finding loose base screws, I was able to start zeroing the Weaver K4. After multiple adjustments, I am getting close to 1' groups with the Rem. 150's!
So pleased, that I am considering using the 99 as my gun-of-choice this season! My only concern now is scope fogging! I recon we'll see!
