Well, after considering both the Kimber and the Springfield Ronin package I went with the Ronin. For about a hundred dollars more got a dot sight and 3 extra mags. Having a Ronin already in 45acp it seemed to make a little more sense.
Got a Springfield Armory Ronin 9mm yesterday with the bag,Viridian green dot and 3 extra magazines package. Took to the range while ago and sighted in at 10yds resting the butt on a bag. First 2 shots were at the bottom of the target. Big twist up hitting dead on. Then went to 12-15 yds...
Don't own the Garrison but do own a Range Officer Elite Champion 9mm and a Ronin 45acp. Like them both well-made and good shooters. Have another Ronin on order 5in 9mm package deal includes dot sight 4 mags and range bag. I like Springfield Armory 1911s.
Mark, sorry to hear of your injury. Hope and pray for direction for surgery and healing. Good news about your sons. Glad for the service to the church. Much needed these days. Dan.
That LS looks good and right color as my son in law would say, he's a New Holland man who doesn't like John Deere for some reason. I wear a John Deere cap just to pick at him:D
The outdoor writer of yesteryear Ben East used a Mod 99 in 300 Savage which he wrote of it. Friend in high school had one in the 300 Savage and it did well for him. Still has it. If you like it and it fits-suits your needs get one.
With 150gr IMR4895 44-45grs Varget 46grs have used RL15 and Tac also. IMR 4064 is another old standby if you can find it. Varget is available and have used it more than the others with 165-168gr bullets.
