Great story! And the mention of the Savage .250/3000 reminded me that it was the first American hunting cartridge to hit 3,000fps. And that was back in the early 1900s. In addition to it being an outstanding rifle, it spawned a whole bunch of interesting ammunition.
Hi Harvey, Yes, and one is my favorite of the centerfire 22s, the 22-250. Frank |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Hi Frank: Great story!

To borrow a thought from fellow Forum Member Kim, it's just a tool! Harvey |
(Although as I said in another post, most of the M99s I see for sale are in excellent condition, regardless their age.)
