Gotta be the Savage 99. My Pop had one in .300 Sav, still has it, When I was a child, my first memories of it were him coming home from the hunt and giving me the empty cartridges from his pocket and showing me the gun and the deer. The smell of burnt powder.... takes me back......Rotary internal magazine on that one...so when I started looking for my first deer rifle, found a guy with one in .308, and had to buy it. Think I paid $250 for it in the late 70's. Still have it.
Knew a gunsmith at the time who told me that most of them were 3" guns, capable of killing deer, but that every once in a while, if treated well with good handloads, they could shoot about 10x better than they had any business shooting. Don't know if that's true or not, my sample set is very small....but I do know that I have turned 4 shot groups at 1", and Dad's has done 1 1/4", so we're batting .1000
