I took a half a day off and went to the range to site in that Old Savage Model 99, .243 I picked up the other day! Im Happy it's a shooter!
First pic is 3 shots at 25 yds
2nd is 5 shots at 50 yds
3rd is 5 shots at 100 yds
This was all done with factory ammo, with a cheap Bushnell 4 power scope! I think Ill keep the gun!!![:D]

Does this model 99 have the little window with a little brass wheel inside that indicates the number of rounds left in the magazine? I always thought that was a neat feature on the .250/3000 that I used to have. Gave it away about 15 years ago to a friend that was always borrowing it. I got tired of him borrowing it, so.........[:D][;)]

Gave it away!!!!! Are you nuts!!! Do you have any idea how hard those things are to find in 250/3000! Have you seen how much they are getting for them!!!
What else do you have to give away???[:D]

PA how much are they getting for them these days I have one at the folks house that is about 95% was my moms deer gun, the bluing looks brand new. No scope on it, just buckhorn sites.

muley the easy
What brand of ammo did you use?
I bet if you handloaded you could have that same 25yd clover leaf at 100yds.
I've got a Model 99EG .250-3000 residing in the gun safe right now that was made 'way back in 1941.
It's been promised to Cointoss2 up in Michigan land when he figures out if he's flying down to pick it up or have it FedEx'd. A Weaver 4x widefield (old model) and the bases/rings go with it. Has a Redfield tang mounted peep on it right now. Ain't gonna tell ya what I let my pard have it for - it would cause you lots of lost sleep at nights!
He Dog had a crack at it, but got tied up with home remodeling and other gun purchases. Se La Vie!
Keep off the Ridgeline
Lee: Hopefully Marky will harvest his first deer with it this year!
I have some empty brass now so Ill be reloading some for it this weekend!
I was shooting Remington, express rifle shells, 50 grain, PSP
I bought the gun a couple of weeks ago at the local gun shop, I had to part with my 1187 turkey gun to get it, but Ive been looking for one of these for awhile now, I can always get another shotgun!

Think my Dad bought it back in the mid 40's.
