I'll have 3 1899's for sale plus the books and hats. David [/quote]
David, what 1899's will you be letting go of. That's the week of my big NC Off Shore Fishing Tournament. My wife wants to see some of the West. I could fish 4 days then fly out. I'd have to start talking to her now. She's a planner. I'd fly out on the drop of a dime. She has to think and organize. How close is the nearest airport? I'll ask her, we haven't done a family vacation for a couple years. Geez, I'm always the last one to the dance, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Due to insurance/liability this will not be publicly advertised. Invite only, low key, I will just have attendees sign waivers before admission. If it goes well I will worry about promoting it to larger for the coming years. Hopefully some people come. I cannot believe how nice a hall, camping site, and bar restaurant the facility has! The Manager Karen is super nice also.

I'll give you first shot at Mickey's gun if I ever decide to sell it. I'm really busy now with company, woodcutting, etc. but will post photos and descriptions of those guns if you're interested. Thanks, David

Thanks David, You can hold off. I just bought 3 guns and have two more to look at. Yours probably have better condition. One is an old 30-30 hunter that my friend said is not in too good of condition and his dad would let it go cheap. I've got to see what cheap is. Thanks, Joe.

The guns I'm selling are an 1899 250-3000 that is mostly gray but shot really tight groups at 25 yds. An 1899A 30-30 that is well worn but not molested and a well above average SR in 303. All were produced between 1911 and 1917. I haven't shot the 30-30 and the SR. The 250-3K and the SR are rifles that were in my display until replaced by higher condition rifles. The checkered trigger of the 250-3K appears on page 51 of my book. You've done good with your latest acquisitions. I've had to put buying any more rifles on hold for now and that's why these 3 are for sale. David

I have regretfully decided not to attend fest west that my very good friend John Angus1895 is so graciously hosting next month in Salmon, Idaho. I had the truck and travel trailer both repaired for the trip, new batteries installed, guns lined up, tinkerbells on.
John has gone to a lot of work and spent some hard earned cash preparing for fest, so I know I'm letting him down by not attending, and I'm sorry to feel the need to back out. It's not a money or a work issue, and it has nothing to do with John or his handling of the event, far from it. I know if John's doing it, it'll be done right and all in attendance will be blessed. The Savages displayed should be quite a sight!
I really encourage any still on the fence to consider going and take your Savages. It should be a really great time and weather should be about perfect.

Is this still happening? I see guys backing out and haven't seen any more info in aalmost a month and a half, any schedule of events, type of shooting, scheduled get togethers etc. Hate to drive a thousand miles to find nothing, tried to reserve a camping spot at the lodge and Karen said she couldn't do it just first come first serve.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.
