A Savage 99 in .22 Hi Power is a great buzzard gun. At over 100 yards and a stiffly constructed bullet, there is almost no damage to the tasty meat. Nothing worse than a buzzard with a lot of meat destroyed by a high velocity lightly constructed bullet. I can carry thirty or forty .22 Hi Power rounds in the front pocket of my jeans. Never can tell when you are going to run into a real buzzard convention.
