I was recently going through some of my Dad's things and came across his 270 Remington 700 bolt action and his hand-me down to me a Model 99 300 Savage. spent all of my teenage years hunting with him and this 300 Savage while growing up in Michigan. I inherited both of these rifles when he passed away several years ago. Neither had been fired for a long time (I am guessing 12-15 years) and it had been 30 years since I had been deer hunting. I spent the last week disassembling and thoroughly cleaning. Today I took them to the range. I will never figure out why the 300 Savage is no longer in production. What a sweet shooting rifle. The targets for both the 300 Savage and the 270 are posted here. Not great, but not that bad for not shooting these firearms for 30 years. I shot three rounds at 25 yards for both just to start. Then shot an additional 9 rounds out of the 300 and and additional 6 rounds out of the 270. Unfortunately I was running out of light and decided to pack up. I will try to get back out next week to refine the shooting.
