I found an old broken link with the exact same first sentence as this article at a site called the longroom.com
This site is pure plagiarism. It’s owner belongs in prison.

Strange article, they mentioned the Winchester 54, but not the Model 94. They did mention the Savage model 99.
My bet is, the Winchester 94 30-30 (model 1894) has killed more deer than any other gun used in the USA.

This site is pure plagiarism. In other words, about average for 'Am Shooting Journal'.

Strange article, they mentioned the Winchester 54, but not the Model 94. They did mention the Savage model 99. One of the criteria for this article was the rifle had to be no longer produced. The Winchester model 94 is still in production. It did not meet that criterion so it could not be included, just as the Winchester Model 70 bolt action which the author said would have led the selection if it were not still in production.
You’re probably right about the 94 being the most used deer hunting gun. . .

Thank you for explaining the criteria.
I missed that.

I stay away from Savage. I’ve read and been told too many horror stories about them.

We have a Savage 99 243 lever action. It’s a great little rifle.

My cousin has hunted deer with his 30-40 Krag for 50 some years. He’s not into new things.

I have never seen a Remington Model 8 anywhere. It was replaced by the model 742 decades ago and it used an obsolete cartridge, 30 Remington, that you can no longer find on any ammo shelf. Not a credible article.

Older 99’s...with the rotary magazine... are gems if you can find one used.

What are you talking about? He simply promotes his blog, and doesn’t care if you like it or not.

They're like every other firearm manufacturer.
They were good, then they were junk.
Now they're good again.

Love our family’s 99 but it’s 303 SAV and over 100 years old. Shoots like new though.

I really wish they would. This is a dangerous site, not only for Trojans, but for really unsafe firearm practices.
This is the guy who used to post graphic images of gunshot wounds under the category 'Humor'.
