I love the looks of your Martinis. With that wood your no. 3 looks more like a no. 1. It's a find looking piece. Have to be careful not to get drool on my keyboard.

Savage 99s in 348 Win. was a favorite with the Canadian moose guides I knew. If it was a good cartridge for them it would be something I would sure consider. I had a No. 3 when they first came out in 45-70, even with factory loads it got my attention after about ahalf dozen shots off the bench.

Just noticed my typo I ment 358 not 348, which is a great old cartridge too.

30-40 Krag, maybe?
yep, but all rimmed low pressure cartridges, like the TC contender, no rimless cartridges larger than 223, thats why I was wondering, the most potent I've saw or heard of a #3 was a guy took a couple 375's and bored them out to 375 JDJ, but its also a round safe in the contendor.
