The old pics are always a hoot!
Check out the cartridge belt on the Savage owner. Must have 2 boxes of ammo strapped on. I have a pic of my Granddad in northern Minnesota looking similar.

Great old photo. I'm sure that their conversation would not be all that alien to our modern ear. They probably complained about that outgoing damn liberal progressive Roosevelt, work, and the weather. I'm sure they had good times too like the one captured in the picture. That ammo belt is impressive!

That is one monster buck. I wonder if they planted food plots with the latest mix of protein growth. Also, those jackets were surely sprayed down for scent control and also had the latest form of camo. I wonder if those rounds on the high speed belt had the proper form of bonded bullets.
Or none of that is true and they just went hunting.

Sorry to hijack but I had to throw this in. I inherited the 1899B in the pic which led to me being here tonight. Pic is from 190X.

Check out the cartridge belt on the Savage owner. Must have 2 boxes of ammo strapped on. I have a pic of my Granddad in northern Minnesota looking similar. That's how my family, when there was one, ALWAYS carried ammunition. I still have most of those leather belts worn by my father, brother, an several uncles. I still carry a full box in a Lawrence leather pouch.

Cool pics!
As for carrying a ton of ammo via belts and such, I guess those guys did it because they could. Guys I've seen with full ammo belts always reminded me of illiterate Mexican banditos. As for me, a magazine-full in the gun and a couple spares in my pocket always sufficed. I guess if I were headed 100 miles into virgin wilderness I would take a few more with me in case a survival situation were forced upon me. Probably be better off renting a sat phone that would weigh less and take up less space in my kit than a couple boxes of survival ammo.

Looks like the guy on the left is also packing an ax. The guy in the middle looks like he's freezing his giblets off while the guy on the right looks very comfortable. Makes you wonder if it was the fourth member of the party who brought the camera?

I have my Dad's Hunter cartridge belt that carried ammo for his 99 T and EG in 250-3000. I prefer carrying ammo in a Hunter cartridge box and/or synthetic folder.

I like the leather box. I don't think I've ever owned that much ammo for one cartridge, at one time, till I got into Savages. Except maybe military 06 ammo for the Garand, always had a can or two of it around. Now I've got multiple stacks of ammo for all of the Savage cartridges, never know when they'll quit making it, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Getting back to the pics- I get the vibe that it's a '95 in the hands of the guy on the left. I actually blew the picture up and played with the contrast to look at it. Based on the straight lines of the forearm, I'm pretty sure it's an 1899.

So what gun is Frozen Guy packing? Is that a tube sticking out of the forearm?
