What about a Savage 300? It's a lever action and excellent close range gun. Do you mean a Savage 99 in 300 savage caliber? I've never heard of a model 300 Savage,but that doesn't mean much. I would love to have that 358 Win Savage 99 listed for $700 at 24hourcampfire.

Yes, I have a Savage Model 99 in 300 Savage caliber. Keep in mind it was a real popular deer rifle before the 308 Win came around. Great gun regardless.

To answer your question - 45-70 = stopping power. And it takes more to turn a 45-70 than a 30-30 or .35 45-70 is superior in thick stuff
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

I've owned a 45/70 guide gun, a model 94 30-30 and a 35 Remington. I be shot a .444 a few times. I'd go with the 35 Remington personally. But there is something cool about shooting a 45/70!! I miss mine and wish I never would have sold it!

A 30/30 is one of the best deer guns in the world. I know mine has taken more deer than I can remember. But I'm a big fan of the 45-70 too. Both are good brush guns. Ammo is much cheaper for the 30/30 but other than that, its a toss up. Either one is just as good a killer as the other.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Just don't get ported barrels One of my favorite guns to shoot was a 4570 that I ported. It now belongs to 300ruger. Last i heard he loves it too. I really couldn't tell a difference in noise level out in the open. The porting really keeps the barrel down and flat for follow up shots or multiple shots (pig hunting) if done right.
