I just ordered a 6mm bore barrel to drop onto a Savage 99 to use for whitetail, wolves, coyotes, and varmints. I went with a heavy contour (Sendero profile) carbon fiber barrel to retain the light weight and handling of the 99 while dramatically increasing barrel stiffness (and hopefully accuracy). Barrel is going to be 22" long and have a 1/8 twist. Should have it in hand in 2-3 weeks, at which time I need to hand it over to my gunsmith and tell him which caliber to chamber it to. I'm currently leaning toward the 6 mm Creedmoor, but thought I'd throw the question out here to get feedback. Thoughts?
