When I was young my uncle gave me a big box full of pennsylvania game news magazines. Years and years worth. Plus some other old hunting magazines as well.
In one of those magazines was an article on the Savage 99s. And I decided right then that that was the perfect deer rifle and that I had to have one.
I was under ten years old at the time.
In 2013 I finally got my first Savage 99 in .300 Savage and shot a doe with it that season.
Then last year I added a 99 in .375 Winchester that is Ohio legal.
I really enjoy the 99s. They aren't the perfect deer rifle. But they are a joy and pleasure to carry.
