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!

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
