I have had a long time respect & love of the 308. What with today’s modern rifle powders & vastly improved bullets. In that it nearly matches the Venerable 30-06 with a lot less recoil and overall weight.
My only advice for the owner of this rifle though would be to invest in a good recoil pad. As the Savage 99 is a light rifle and can kick like the Missouri Mule. If you let it that is.
