Personally, I shoot a 99A Savage lever in 250/3000 Ackley Improved. Good to 200+ yards on whitetails.
If I didn't have my 250, I would go find a 99 savage in a 300 Sav. I think the 300/Savage 99 combo is the best whitetail gun out there. Bar none. Next option would be a .308 win, also in a Sav 99 lever gun. Brass rotary prefered.

Dig it! I've got two 250/3000s; a 1948 EG and a 1956 Featherweight ..... and a .300. Model 99s are WAY under-rated .... as in Savage in general. As for the 250s effectiveness; I've shot 3 elk and a bunch of muleys with the '48 ..... the elk were shot through the lungs at ranges from 150 to about 280 yds. and none of them went more than 50 yds. before they laid down. On mule deer a 250 will deck them real quick IF you hit them somewhere besides the butt .... shot placement is what counts .... you can't be afraid of the recoil and expect to place your shot at long range ..... I've seen a lot of 7 mag shiners!

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
