One significant thing about Allen Day as I recall was his mantra that only a rifle prepared by Darcy Echols was worthy.
He went on and on about this belittling just about every gun out there. Also, in my memory, he went overboard on the 300 WM.
So what? The man's passed on, Don. Show a little respect, why don't you?

Yes it absolutely was, but when you get in the pit with hogs and scum, it tends to rub off, and in that capacity stick's about as low and scummy as they get and I'm not apologizing. Cheers, jorge You just revealed a great deal in regards to your character or lack there of. I'll make a note of it, right next to all the comments he made about my wife.. BWalker, Do you hold larry accountable for the littany of inappropriate comments that spews from his little fingers?

Allen was very good at sponging off of his parents and his success ran out along with the market.Granted a manager of a DQ such as yourself brad would find that a noble cause. Funny, I've been a custom home builder for quite a few years... you obviously have a hard time keeping up. Allen "sponged off his parents?" That's strange, Allen's dad died when he was a kid. Allen was a friend for years. I've spent time with he and his wife. Allen worked hard and would be the first to tell anyone he had great mentoring along the way which helped him to become successful. There is no such thing as a "self made man" and Allen would be the first to tell anyone that. Everyone gets help along the way... everyone. "Running out of luck along with the market" would be nearly everyone in America who wasn't taking a government check... obviously hard to grasp for someone who's never done anything in life. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Again, taking shots at a dead man who you didn't know is about as low as it gets... it's obvious you're a jealous little azz-wipe. I for one won't sit silently and let some internet jack-off create fiction about a friend not here to defend himself... Thanks for the laugh Brad.So allen was only able to sell off his mothers acreage to finance himself? So is mommy going to allow you to buy a rifle without selling one yet?

please do not feed the f'ing troll. Thanks for the clarification in English, though still not aware what "TY" means. Point taken and agreed on...

I think that's a perfectly appropriate question...

BWalker,
Do you hold larry accountable for the littany of inappropriate comments that spews from his little fingers?
I Sure do and am not condoning anything he may have said.. However, I have never seen Stick sink to the level that Jorge did. Commenting on a fathers parenting skills after the fathers son committed suicide strikes me as lower than low. In fact if I was in Sticks shoes, Jorge would be swallowing his teeth after I was done with him. I am not a stick follower, but wrong is wrong.

Back on topic, I have been in the recent past a grand poobah of the gun switching pet load tinkerers. Now, (and admittedly life circumstances have much to do with this) I am down to a couple of older SAKO CF 22's for rodents, a 257WBY, an uberfast 33 I call the 340 Tyrannosaur, and my semi custom 416 Rigby. None have really high true cash values. BUT, All are set up like I want and like and are wonderful tools in my hands and I really cannot think of a hunt that I could ever go on and be not be quite well armed with one or another of them. I see Alan Days point.
I also do consider it quite poor taste - unacceptable actually -to be whinning about something he said now that he has passed on to his reward and cannot come and defend.
I would hope that had my recent heart attack or nearly deadly recent infection had taken my life this past month that no one here would have taken cheap pot shots at me right after, post mortem.

I'm starting to think that Bauer accepted the free hat from D'Arcy for his commission on the last sale he made. Now he's angling for a free sticker.

I really enjoy this site, and have learned a lot from hunters much more experienced than I ever will be. I'm not interested in every section here, and usually just cruise a few. Now and then something comes up that's pretty tasteless. Usually I just keep moving along when I read something I don't agree with.
But have to admit, this pretty much takes the cake. Not sure why, what the point was, or what satisfaction was gained. I do know that Allen Day taught me a lot about hunting rifles. Didn't know him, didn't always agree with him, but respected his views. His views were gained by experience I'll never have.
Savage 99, I don't get it. Just don't.
May Allen Day rest in peace. And I sure hope his family don't see this....

Brad,
sorry for annoying you with the abbreaviations.
BTW, below is the german version:
"Bitte f�ttern Sie die Trolle nicht. Danke sch�n."
I have not met Mr. Day but from what I read here on the fire, find him to have been a man I would have like to hunt with.

Thanks Travis... I find the whole anachronism thing an annoying PIA. I can't stand it. But I do like to say "GFY" a lot at work, and when people ask what it means I say "good for you". Travis

FYI, ancronyms in RL serve IMHO and AFAIK to quicken things considerably. YMMV, of course. BTAIM, the TPTB come up with new ones every day. So, RTFM. But, WRT Brad and deflave and the MSH IG, (ITSFWI), I shall refrain from now on until TEOFWAWKI. MTFBWY, BFF,
