Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Anybody notice a shift in the Savage Collectors Forum?

This is true of the whole Campfire, sadly this is what has become of this site. Criticism and foul language have become the norm, leaving little time or space for decency...

Oh the stories you miss.......

You don't want to hear any BS, so I won't tell you any

What I wanna know. Was that model factory drilled and tapped. Yeah it is my calender....business you know.

This place will be as interesting as we care to make it. I like Rory's idea of posting more oddball (closed) auction rifles for discussion.

My wife.....yes I live in fear..claims photbucket will swallow my phone computer alive so I am not allowed. Any ways I got a custom E in 300 and my refinish work I would share my email is jwcowdoc@gmail.com thanks. Sorry I am such a puss.

I log on several times a day just hoping to learn something. I remember when Roy used to get lit up for his desecration of sacred items, but I always learned something. I may have a couple questions from an auction coming up soon. The auctioneer has a big "no sales to out of state bidders on firearms" sign. But, I called ahead and he said he will honor my C&R, some don't. There are 2 38-55's and an engraved model. I'll wait till the last minute, probably the night before the sale. My buddy and I are planning on hitting the Motel 6 so we have time to look, take notes, and ask questions. My knowledge will fit in one of the dimples on a thimble, so I wait for the learning to begin. The current thread on the late 250-3000 is the kind of stuff I want to learn. The 250-3000 rifle is high on my want list, so if there are variants, I need to save up twice as much money so I can get both. There is a core group here that keep me coming back, Joe.

Wow, what kind of sling is that?

Hey John, you getta little box with a piece of paper from Oregon recently?

I've been lit up all over this place. It's normal. Go out on a limb and expect it. Take the safe ground and no one bothers you.

But one thing I've learned is, if I am playing with Savages and am dealing with something, someone else has/is/will be also, so I don't mind bringing up most anything Savage. It's just harmless information people, no need to get the panties in a twist. Someone, somewhere is interested at that very time on the very topic. That's what discussions are for. Don't like the discussion, sit it out. I do all the time.

But more and more it seems like some guys would rather flame anybody than keep their trap shut and learn something a little different, maybe a little outside their comfort zone. Hell I got flamed twice just on this thread! On the 1960E thread I'm called a fool for pointing out the obvious; "the rifle is legitimate".

Play it safe and kiss azz, get along fine. Case in point. A guy flames me out of the blue one day. No idea what the issue is. 4 people send me PM's asking what's up with _ _ _. No idea, just a normal day here. I tell him by PM he's being a dick for no reason, and people noticed, so what's up. He didn't like being called on it so put me on ignore. I try to get him to talk it out a few months later, ignored. I wish him a happy birthday when it comes around, and he flames me on this very thread.

So, really, who has the problem? Why are people leaving, because of a ceracoated 99 we talk about, or because they're tired of being flamed?

Its all good. Knowledge is power.

I tell you one thing. When I get flamed aka corrected on this forum I had it coming. From reloading to collecting to shooting heck even bow hunting. I got learned good here and am thankful for it.

Nope, but you if you didn't get that twat twinge you would have known......grin

I have a dream(apologies MLK)

One day I can post a topic heading

" some 99 info you blokes did'nt know"

Love the place and i'm on here several times a day also

Johno

Amen brother. These guys with vaults full of Savage lever guns could sure enough be posting something to talk about instead of complaining there is no Savage collectors forum.


But, it takes a little work.

What 99?

Huh?

Your the one that started this thread Drama Queen.

Give it up, Joe. I'd sooner talk to a piss hole in the snow. He's about clueless. Not even worth the effort.

I'm to much like you, I call a spade a spade, always have, everyone here knows that, it's no surprise.

When people start talking about criticism like it's a bad thing? This site has always looked at a gun and told the truth.

When did we get so touchy feely? Grow a pair.

Oh BooHoo, LBK doesn't like me....better start a post. WTF?

I need a drink.

I got the 40 creek going. Stop on by Joe.

I get on several times a day. I've learned tons from you guys and really appreciate the help many of you have offered.

On the other hand I simply ignore the negative banter.
