Timberline, I thoroughly enjoyed the post!
For those of you who thought it was just a flashy attempt at Marketing, I think you completely missed the point.

Just being picky here, but doesn't a 591189 serial number make it a later date than 1949? Love the Sham Wow pic. It would be a perfect world, if every 99 question to the fire was accompanied with that quality of photos and information. Then their would be no grumpy answers. Wrong! Good natured jabs are part of the Savage forum. Comes with the turf! Probably need a disclaimer posted at the top of the forum. Before someone reminds me, yes I am aware that the 99 seller is not a new poster, has no question, is selling. GW

hey i have just gotten a 99 but the barrel is shot and if you could help me find one I would really aprecate that NH Frank We're doomed! Another NHite! (I think, unless it stands for something else?) Pretty soon we can take over or maybe get our own subforum? In any event---Welcome nhFrank--you've found a great site--there's a few of us here like Loggah and LongBeardKing (aka LBK) I was a newbie here 18 months ago and everone's been a great help. And yes, be prepared to take some good natured ribbing like Timberline has, from time to time. PS--did you get the one from Riley's with the groove in the chamber?

Love the Sham Wow pic. 500,000 was bout 1947 56868x is1950 so 50 or 51 timberline that is a good sales pitch,when i read it ,facts matching pics,it struck an honest cord, but i had to chuckle ,hence preaching to the choir

I enjoyed your post. If I didn't already have a safe full of them, I'd consider buying your rifle. Looks like a fine hunting rifle. As someone else posted, put it on the 24hourcampfire's classified section, and it'll be gone in a hurry.

Thanks all for the constructive criticism. I'll rewrite, cut down on the sizzle where advisable, focus more on the meat, correct the manufacture date (1951) and eventually post on the Classifieds.

does it come with the antelope, Leica binocs and Leupie scope? Fixd.
When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

If you order by midnight tonight you can have the horns from that antelope! And that only because we're out of the complete Elvis Collection bonus.

Timberline, you're an ad man, right? If not you should be, you're good. Like everybody else on this board who isn't too old to hunt, I already have a shooter 99, but you made me want the rifle anyway.
BTW zebrapub isn't a bar in Denver, is it?

As far as truth in advertising goes, I can't fault Timberline. There are a lot of EG's out in this price range - and that's a good thing. They are a fine hunting rifle and the existing supply should be enjoyed for as a long as possible. Like everything, the supply will dry up.

From a Campfire post of 12-13-10... just last week.
"Hey guys, I just got the news that Bill Krenz has passed on. He went by 'Timberline' on 24hr. Many here knew him as the founder and editor of Inside Archery and Bowhunt America magazines. He was always complimented on his superb writing style and photography, even on his classified ads here. Apparent heart attack. He was 58, and survived by his wife and kids+. My prayers go out to his family. I'll miss you my friend. Happy hunting on the new hunting grounds. Don"
