Actually I think plays a very small part, i'm thinking more hard work and research and being prepared to chase those specials one down.

Others come here and brag about bastardizing a rifle knowing it will undermine a collecting aspect.
As you are so fond of pointing out, some rifles with poor or non-original condition have no collector value, "will never make it into this house". So, WTF do you care if it gets sawed into little tiny pieces and sold as scrap iron? Do you condemn a gunsmith for re-barrelling a Remington Model 700? Do you condemn a stockmaker fro refitting a rifle with custom wood? I find your elitist attitude funny in light of your experimenting and manufacturing non-original Stith mounts. I guess that's ok, but whatever someone else decides to try isn't? Get off your high horse old man.

...and a hush fell over the crowd, as we bow to the true collectors... LBK You have reached the end of the rainbow, and deserve every bit of treasure that you bring to yourself. For myself, without the resources to invest that sort of money, the only joy left for us bottom feeders to blow sunshine up your skirts!

I have told others................THAT will not always be the case. I could have retired 7 years ago. Instead I continue to work every hour I can. I collect a pension from a previous job AND I collect a tidy sum every month from Soc Sec. THAT'S my gun money

Steve, welcome to the high horse club buddy!
I guess thats why they call this forum the Savage "Collectors" forum instead of rebarreled E's forum.

So here's the thing.
I don't feel the need to take any sheit off anyone for working on Savage 99's. I enjoy it, get it? I also collect Savages.
I like to work on them. Get it? Let me repeat it. I like to work on Savages, and I won't apologize for it. Not to anyone.
I don't modify desirable original rifles, like LBK likes to imply, pure bullsheit. Only guns with no collector value. Do I need to repeat that so it sinks into your thick Canadian cranium?

Can't afford that New York stuff. The couple I bastardized were all ready bubbed and bought cheap. I enjoy them none the less!! There's a place in the world for all of us.

There's room for everyone here. David Not really. According to LBK and Mad Dog those of us that work on our 99's, you know, the ones WE PAID FOR, aren't welcome here and are doing irreparable damage to mint vintage 99's, forever ruining prime specimens real collectors would quickly gobble up were it not for us butchering them. That about it? GMAFB.

Come on guys, I expected to get my rear end run over here on this thread but my intention was not to get something going on a slightly different subject between others! You are butting in on my area, I am the person who many think is a Jerk and F'n a'zhole, and I have even been told that to my face by one of the contributors to this thread when at a gunshow, my response was" "yea, I know I can be" and "if you don't want to talk to me that's fine", but we did talk - I figure why try and deny something that's absolutely true? - especially when I don't really care (remember, I know I'm a f'n a'zhole, if I really cared I would try to change) - if you have ever looked at my profile here it says I'm a 'professional jerk' - unfortunately I am starting to question my professional abilities in that 'trade' when I seem to not be getting most of the attention. I had great expectations when I saw LBK had posted, but for once he disappoints when it comes to me.
I have had Superintendents where I worked call me worse than anyone here, or look like they wanted to, after it got me fired a couple times I did question my behavior a little, but that just never seems to last (but I shouldn't have to tell you guys that). This made me think of something to run by you all to see if you thought is was good idea -
I could make a list of all the insults & names & comments that have directed at me over the years and see if it could be made into a sticky, it woulds save a lot of time (and effort) to just be able to copy & past an insult when I start acting up then to have to think up a response... 'let's see, I used number 56 last time, I think I'll mix it up and maybe use number 602½ this time'. I can almost guarantee they will all be better responses than many I have gotten here - some of these came from PHD's when I was in school. I would however, insist they just be used for me, I do not want to be an enabler for someone trying take over part of what I consider my own 'territory'.
Come on guys, I'm placing myself here for you to pick on, no need to go after anyone else! Feel free to get it all out of your systems!

thanks for keeping the thread from going even farther south, LBK.  Though I really find it rude that you didn't post contact information for the seller of those guns so that we could make higher offers. [/sarcasm] Beautiful guns tho, glad you're at a point in your life that you can afford top quality stuff.

Gene, I never noticed you being anything other than business. I like the more personable side of you.  Me, I try to be the same, nice to everyone, until they earn otherwise. Which some do, regularly. Then it's on. It can and will end when they want to end it, but it won't end if they want to continue it.

If it looks good, you'll see it
If it sounds good, you'll hear it
If it's marketed right, you'll buy it
But...If it's real, you'll feel it
