Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors Mad Dog.. found where ya left your tomato stake!

And boy, do you NOT know how to mount a scope!!!




1950 99EG in 250 that followed me home today. Oldest son has already tagged it for his hunting rifle if it shoots. Sorry for the poor pics, sun already set. It's just a shooter anyway, sling studs, d&t, and tang crack. But the buttstock makes it worth an extra $100 EASY!!!!

Very appropriate...........

Hmmmm......don't remember ever owning that.

Wait a sec, I don't own EG's so it couldn't have been mine.

I can't believe you would buy a shooter that been D&T'd and studded.

Yeah, seriously shocked by that, aren't ya.

Good thing Rory bought that gun for his boy.

Polly didn't have another shooter in the house he could have loaned him

Well, I've seen what my oldest can do to my cars, he AIN'T hunting with one of my T's!

Was gonna let him use a gray prewar R, but everybody should start off with a schnabel.


For those who are tracking, I know we discussed when they switched from serial numbers on buttstock/buttplate/forearm to the codes, and this one is serial numbered at 530,70x.

HEYYYYYYYY !!!

Schnabel's add DIGNITY and CLASS to any rifle, especially "99s".

AND... as y'all already know, EG'S RULE !~!~!

I think that looks like the one I left next to a tree while I was draggin my deer out, and when I came back I couldn't find the tree. You know, it was a tall skinny Oak tree, right next to another tall skinny Oak tree, in the woods, Joe.

LOL...did that with my glasses and a stump. Went back and there were many more stumps! Never found the glasses.

Okay, better pics of the Mad Dog gun. Cleaned up pretty well with 10 minutes work.

That scope mounting job just makes me shudder every time I look at it.

Here it is with some gun show pick ups from yesterday. $20 for 21 cartridges, mostly 303 Savage but some 22HP and a 250 or two in there. I thought the Savage patch was kind of neat. Any idea how old that is?

Stake, not a Mad Dog gun.

Awesome hybrid scope rings!! A whole new bubbization. Prolly was outa duct tape...

Just do not want fess up to the scope mounts haha joe

that mount is AWESOME... those patches are around on EBAY pretty regularly... there has been different lots of them made b/c some of them have slightly different color... no idea on age but I am guessing not old...

That would make a great hunter. No wonder the boy wants it.

Nice clean up job Rory, but take those Weaver bottoms off the top of that scope, your hurting my eyes! I'd love to hear the story behind that. Maybe the previous owner was trying to mount another gun upside-down on top of that one? :-)

Calhoun, couldn't help but notice the beautiful gun rack. Did you make it or where did you find it?

Also, do you have a picture of it without the hardware?

Gun rack was my father-in-law's. Supposedly hand made by a gentleman somewhere up in the sandhills area of Nebraska. Don't think I do have a picture, but probably should take one.

Would love to see a full view of it if you get the chance sometime. Whoever that gentleman in Nebraska was that made it, its obvious he put many hours into it.
