This is my daughter's second deer, a very big doe. She hunts with a 99A in 250-3000. With the tang safety it is perfect for a kid who is left handed. When she puts a 115 Nosler partition through the boiler room they don't run far. I have one of the 110s that were made in 250-3000 a few years ago, It is a nice rifle also. I wish Remington would chamber a modle 7 in it. Shotgunner
