I recently inherited a 1956 Model 99 EG .308 from my father. He has told me that it was tapped by the gun smith who sold him the rifle new in 1956.
As for me, I too am a 1956 model and while I have excellent distance vision, I wear reading glasses hence the decision to scope the rifle.
I will be hunting deer and moose in BC so I am thinking that the majority of the shooting will be in the 150 - 250 yard range. I think that I'll stay with the same 180 grain round that my father used.
I am considering a Vortex Viper 3-9 x 40 Dead Hold BDC for the gun. I would appreciate any thoughts on these optics or other recommendations you folks might have.
Thx in advance.
