I recently bought a Savage 99 in 300 stocked by G&H. Then I learned ammo and brass aren't all that easy to come by. I paid $40 for a box of Remington ammo and found out my "new" rifle shot really well. I've had great results with Lapua products and got 50 rounds of their brass in 308. Trimming was a problem for me. I locked my Wilson case trimmer in the milling machine vice, unscrewed the crank handle, and chucked the cutter. It took 10 minutes to trim 50 cases and another 10 to run them through a Savage die. Neck thickness was not an issue though they were.005 thicker than factory Rem cases. The Lapua cases are 20 grs heavier than factory, and so loading needs to start on the lower end. Perhaps this will be of use to someone.
Picture of the G&H stock, please?
Recoil Rob, Coincidently, this rifle was featured here a year or two ago. A short time later it was in the rack at a store near here. Where it went from there is unknown, but it showed up in a mid west auction a few months ago. Maybe someone can resurect the pictures shown here. Otherwise, I could email photos to someone willing to post them.
umm was it the rifle on this thread?
Savage 99
It's been my experience that deer can't tell the difference between a .300 Savage and a .308 Winchester, provided the bullet placement is reasonably correct.
PhsDoc, That is the rifle. When it came to me, someone had kindly supplied the mount top together with a Lyman Alaskan. They had neglected to tighten the ring screws, and so if they fired it, the groups would have been disappionting enough to put it up for sale again. It was very inexpensive.
