This sounds like fun!
I don't have any classics but my newer Savage hasn't been out in a while so it'll have to do.

How about breaking rifles down into groups related to period of construction. Such as pre and post WWII? I'm sure those periods could be broken down into smaller groups too if needed This would keep the 19 and 23 guys from competing against the Anschutz 22s of the 60s and 70s. Right now I'm Jonesing for a nice older Savage 6A.

How about collecting the finest samples of rifles in each category, then send them from member to member to shoot their best target...I'll go last.

Uh, somehow I think they would never get back home. Though that is a damn good idea!

What's your address, you can start with mine. I'll get Bob's Dad to wrap it up for me. It'll be the box with holes in it, Joe.

Gary just left my house, and I DID NOT give him anything. Actually, I did give him something. But he paid for it! Honest he did! He gave me some 22 ammo to try in my model 19, but bribes don't work backwards, do they? Bribes, Sailor Jerry? I do have to meet up with him to give his book back, Sailor Jerry? I'll have to think about this, Joe.

No, not yet. I have two brands in the fire. Thinking about another aperture, a bit nicer than the one on it. Then I saw a nice Lyman Junior Targetspot 8X that I thought would look at home on it. I'm just trying to figure out how long I can go with out eating, so I can buy either one. Do you have anything interesting rolling around in the parts bin? Before I give my money to some stranger, Joe.

Well darn , I don't presently own a Savage 22 from any era. I got a vintage Mossberg around here somewhere though... Would that be taking unfair advantage ? Mike

That was a mighty nice 19 you showed me. It deserves a better sighting arrangement. Trade ya a scope for that cute little dog ya got!

Gary, Carolyn would give you the dog in a heart beat, she likes to pee on the floor. She will come and sit in front of you, and if you don't let her out NOW, yellow stains on the new carpet. I left her in long enough to go get two steaks for dinner, maybe a half hour, guess what. Plus, she's older than you and me put together. Sometimes I pick her up to put her in bed and I think she's gone stiff.
Yeah, all the scopes I like cost about 3 times what I paid for the gun. But, I've paid even more for scopes for other rifles, so I guess it's all perspective. I'd like to find a period Malcolm, then it would go with the "H", Joe.

I was wondering where he found that picture of my high school girl friend. She still looks nice, put on a little weight. You know she's only 5'3", her name is Rasabelle Magee.

Okay. Times up. Speak now or forever hold your peace (piece?). On Monday the "official" rules come out, and we'll get this show on the road.
Run down to the bank take out a loan and buy some premo .22 ammo, and get your eyes sharpened up. Let's see what these old Savages (guns, and shooters thereof) are capable of!

I'm ready, I just have to hold a little low and to the right at 25, not so much at 50, Joe.

Yeah, but can you do it blindfolded and standing on your head? I forgot to mention that before...
