Feeling like such a left coaster right now. Like the kid that gets picked last in dodgeball.

Great time, with lots of good folks. Serious thanks to our host, Southern_WI_Savage for hosting us and providing us with food, early morning coffee, great place to set up and visit, and opportunity to get together!
Also big thanks to Bruce for wonderful brats and smoked fish, cmhjohn for great venison sausage, Rick99 for manning the entrance table/pre-registering folks and being willing to sacrifice valuable Savage research time to intercept unknown folks, melchung for some awesome teriyaki chicken, gnoahh/southern_wi_savage/stever/others for great door prizes (my apologies for not knowing who all donated what), and of course thanks to Gary for providing overnight security and forgoing a bed!
And of course a huge thanks to everybody who brought stuff to display, especially David who dragged his entire display 1300 miles!
I'm leaving out things to thank folks for that I should be including, but it's late and my mind is fried. So for whoever I forgot to mention...
Thank You!!!

Well stated Rory. The only thing I can think of is a big Thank You to the ladies that helped with the food and cleanup.

Made it home from SF about one AM. Had a great time, met great people and got almost all the photos needed to finish the book. Still need photos of style 4A and style 5 barrel addresses per Murray's book. Any help would be greatly appreciated. David

I checked and do not have a 4A or 5 barrel address.
Glad you enjoyed Savage Fest and looking forward to your book.

Thanks for looking, Don. I thought you might have one or the other but was not sure about the photo part. I knew where a 4A was but it has gone down the road. FYI... this is the leftover Model 20, 24" lightweight, .250-3000 barrel with the small integral front sight and might be found on Model E,F or G.

Rick,
Even tho that 99 E 4A went down the road, I still had some pictures including the roll mark. I sent them on to David today.

Just got back home last night -I spent a week with an old Vietnam war buddy in Alabama before flying home. I enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing and handling all those guns that I had only seen in pictures before. the stevens 425 lever action is amazing!
I enjoyed making the Molokai style Huli huli chicken. what to make for the next savage fest? I got two years to figure it out... Mel Chung
