I just bought a new hunting rifle.....another Savage 99C in .308
I had one already as well as a 99F as backup. The C has a 4 round removable magazine, the F has the built in 5 round rotary the Savage 99 lever action's are famous for. I like the convenience of a removable mag and lets face it, it's safter for unloading too. The new one is in transit and should get here in time for me to take the scope off the 99F and put it on the new C and get it sighted in before I leave on my annual 2 week hunting trip on Oct 31st.
So I'm pretty pumped......LOL.........new rifle, hunting trip only a few weeks away, picked up hunting trailer yesterday and it's in the driveway ready to be cleaned, prepped and packed. Got my 30 cigar travel humidor prepping on the desk (can't forget that!)
My wife can't stand me for most of October and always breathes a sigh of relief the morning I leave!
I'm off to the range tomorrow morning to go run a few through my "soon to be the backup" 99C and blast some of the 1000 rounds of .22 I have in my ammo can and maybe a 100 or so of the .45 acp..........I love the smell of cordite in the cool morning air!
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
