I recently acquired 2 nice early 50s Savage 99s. One is 308 Win, the other is 300 Savage. I am going to keep one, and let go of the other.
Assuming all other things are equal (condition, accuracy, function, etc), which would you keep and why?
I am not currently and have no plans to start reloading. I will never be firing these beyond 300 yds, and the largest animal I will hunt with them is deer.
My thoughts:
308 - I have a bolt action in 308 so no new cartridge to keep
308 - Better factory ammo selection
300 - "Classically appropriate" for the Savage 99
300 - A little "different" and possibly more interesting than 308
