Get it shooting for him. A gun that is never shot may as well be a pry bar.............................................

I'll get my nephew (my brother's son) to get it shooting. He does all the reloading for us. Likely not in the near future since he just bought 80 acres and is in the process of building his own house.

I figure it's my brother's issue since I chose the Winchester 1894 .30 WCF when given the choice of guns.

I still say we need to all get together and have our own local Savage Fest!

I bet no one had taken a file to the top of theirs like Daddy did so the Weaver 4x12 would fit on top. don't know exactly what he was thinking but he did it. I mean the thing was just about brand spanking new.

He was thinking the same thing that most of the last generation thought; "This is what I have and I have to make it work." My dad and grandads called it "making do."

Maybe no photo but I can assure you that if WM says that he has one, he does.
I held a 99/358 once but could not bring myself to put the price of 3 rifles into it.
