Good shooting rifle.
I bought a 99 in .30 savage while I was in basic training. I also bought a Lee loader for it and loaded ammo in the Barracks. I suspect most of my troop makes thought I was crazy,
but I used to drive out to the ranch South of Moose Jaw, Sask. and shoot jackrabbits and gophers with it - open sights - had a ball. I loaded 110gr. Sierras to about (book) 3,100fps & was good to go. LOL Had a blast. If the gophers were inside 50yards, I used my issue .38 with hand loaded 148gr. wadcutters I bought by the 500 in Moose Jaw at the shop where I bought the rifle.
Fun and games.
