Yeah. Or better yet a 141 takedownTrade it for a Model 14 and that problem, along with losing a mag, goes away.

Whoo-eee! Recoil on him is invigorating!! Had one I traded into for an acquaintance that was desperate for one; he'll never shoot it. Stock geometry gets your attention with full loads!Savage Model 99 in 358 Winchester
AMEN to THAT. A 99-F from a bench with a 250-grain factory almost broke my collar bone.Whoo-eee! Recoil on him is invigorating!! Had one I traded into for an acquaintance that was desperate for one; he'll never shoot it. Stock geometry gets your attention with full loads!
Yes, but it's a great eastern backwoods rifle for Blackbear and Moose. My father hammered a Bull Moose with it with at 35 yards with a Barnes tipped Triple Shock X 200 Grain bullet. Piled up after about 5 seconds. It's a shoulder beater for sure and not fun sighting in. But it's a game stopper for sure also and in the heat of the moment you don't even feel it. 35 caliber Pellet it spits out is impressive for sure. Picture below next to a bolt just for size comparison.Whoo-eee! Recoil on him is invigorating!! Had one I traded into for an acquaintance that was desperate for one; he'll never shoot it.

That's why I loaded with 200's for him. 82 years old and he still carries it around the woods of Maine.AMEN to THAT. A 99-F from a bench with a 250-grain factory almost broke my collar bone.
I used the same Barnes in my 35 WSM on a Texas mule deer last fall. Good stuff.Yes, but it's a great eastern backwoods rifle for Blackbear and Moose.

Talk about a shoulder beater. I'm thinking the Hammer bullets would be good to run and try in that WSM!I used the same Barnes in my 35 WSM on a Texas mule deer last fall. Good stuff.
I've got some to try; the 200 Barnes is accurate at 3K fps with single digit extreme spreadsTalk about a shoulder beater. I'm thinking the Hammer bullets would be good to run and try in that WSM!
