Probably my first .22HP. That's not to say that they couldn't all go "poof"! I've done it before, twice. It all depends on what the item that I can't live without costs. The thing with guns is there is a bazillion of them out there, and a collection can be rebuilt. To me, the fun is in the chase. After the chase is done, and I won, that which I won often loses its luster and I find myself thinking of the next chase. It's been that way with guns, cars, and women. You want to see a big Savage/Winchester/Mauser/Springfield sale, just dangle a nice 1948 MG-TC in front of me...

Love your 358 EG, I am thinking that if I could find an R in 358 the undertaker wouldn't be able to get the smile off my face. GW

Steve, the case coloured base and rings are a great touch. Who did the work?

Looks like some of 6mm250's work.

1899-C
Unmolested, original finish (wood and metal), no damage to either wood or metal All original including sights. I don't have the skill to judge with a %, but it's WAY up there. I've had the rifle a few years and (prior to this post) not many people know I have it. If I decide to let it go, Longbeardking has first refusal.
ps. bore is like new

I've been mulling this over since about 8 AM yesterday and I can't come up with an answer. The 1895 round barrel that I've had since 1966 would be hard to part with but so would some of the others. David

David,
Your 1895 SCR with the leather sling ends I'd cradled years back. It's still the holy grail of 1895s and Savages for me.

David It's difficult isn't it, even if its pretend. Guess I will just keep them all and let the family sell them at the garage sale. GW

The garage sale thing is what will most likely happen. Rifles like the 18895 SRC which I've only had for about a year would make the decision tough. The 1895 round barrel isn't nearly as interesting but it's one of the few things I've had that long. David

Blasphemy! (Last Savage to go).
I still regret the 2 99's I have sold in the last 20 years, and while my "accumulation" is no where as nice as LBk's or others collections, I'd have trouble whittling it down to 10 99s :-). -TomT

What I have can't hold a candle to others, but what I have makes me EXTREMELY happy and that's all that matters to me.

Aside from guns given as gifts, my Zehner engraved 99.
