1952 Savage 250-3000 99EG - 04/14/23 11:54 PM
Have always been fascinated by the Savage 99-so when the opportunity presented itself...
The 250-3000 in the 99 had a 1 in 14 twist, and this was not changed until about 1960 with the name change to 250 Savage.
The earlier rifles required generally a lighter weight 87 gr or lighter bullet.
Always will favor the 1886-Model 71/Browning design Winchesters, but the 99 lends itself to
scope use in the field.
Anyone have a spare Lightfoot Mount?
