.25-35 or .30-30?

From what you posted above, i'd say go with the 25-35, and here's why.

25-35 will make a nice lil all around light package.

If you wanna stick to a quarterbore, you could rechamber to 250-3000 (250 savage) dang nice lil chambering.

30-30? why? if you want a little more power, go .300 savage, you know that will work for sure as so many model 99's were made in that caliber. But...if your goign to do that, you might as well just find and pickup a model 99 already chambered in it. (same with the 250-3000)

If you want a .308, model 99's are chambered in it, but they use the detachable magazine. (.243win as well)

the 7-30 waters should work well, but it's not a cartridge that i am very framilier with.
