probably should introduce myself. I'm Bill from the central plains. I only have a couple of Savages currently: an Axis II in '06 and a Model 99 in 30-30. I'm really more of a collector and am looking to pick up a couple more 99's. The Axis is fairly new and still trying to get it dialed in, but has proven to be a bit more difficult then I had hoped (see my thread in the Axis forum...). Any ways... hello...
