I am hoping someone out there can give me some info on this gun. It belonged to my wife's late grandfather. I don't have the gun in my possession (yet). The fellow who does has sent me a photograph and the markings on the barrel (but no model number).
From the photograph, it is obviously a Savage Model 99 with a scope mounted (scope mount possibly covering up model number?). The barrel markings consist of the serial number and ".250 H.P." That brings up my question: What is .250 H.P.? Is it the same as .250-3000 Savage or is it something altogether different?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
