Savage 99 in 250-3000 was my first centerfire rifle, took my first deer with it.
Moved on to bolt guns but I still love the 250-3000 cartridge.

As reprted locally, the Assistant Director took a plea deal, probably involving a reduced sentence for testimony ,probably against the other defendants.
I've made shotshells using overshot cards that I punched out of non-
corrugated cardboard . Iused a hollow punch from Harbor Freight .
The punches were really cheap, probably cost less than the gsa checks.
Of course , YMMV.

I have an 18.5 inch and a 20 inch '73. Both have been worked by the same smith ( Ken Griner @ Griner Gunworks),and run equally well.
For me, it boils down to "feel".The shorter rifle justs feels better to me.
I would advise buying your rifle with the work already done.
Saves time and trouble.
