I have a Savage 99 that was manufactured in 1966. .308 with a Zeiss 3X9X40 on it. Awesome weapon.

I have a Marlin Model 1936 that was given to my grandfather, who was a Detroit police officer, by a Detroit river border guard.

Can’t overlook the Winchester Models 88 and 100 either.

“The Model 99 was chambered for the .250/3000 Savage cartridge.“

No, it was originally chambered in .300 Savage. I actually have a couple boxes of factory ammo for it around here somewhere.

With the improvements in bullet design most of the listed weapons(calibers) are overkill for deer. Bullets that go clean through a deer at 100 yards and damage excess meat are a waste.

I had my late Grandfather’s Remington Model 742 carbine in .308 that was wonderful for the woods, until my now-exwife bought some jewelry, assuring me that she had the money for it, until the bill showed up.

I have the Winchester 70 that my Grampa bought when he got back to the states after WWII.

It’s still a tack-driver.

Krag 30-40 Rifle. Take a look at the big game records and how many were taken with this rifle.
