sambarman338Yes, great to see, Rich. I'm amazed that case hardening is still so good.
At least you can still get to the range. This burg has been ring-fenced because covid has taken off again (520 new cases today - perhaps not horrific for a city of five million but in May it was about 10 a day) and most ranges are outside the ring.

AtkinsonGotta love the 99s...I have a takedown 250-3000 that shoots pinholes, and its one of my favorite deer rifles, great for rock chucks, coyotes and antelope and its shot a few elk in its day..
My favorite saddle gun for elk and sometimes deer is a 99F .308...
