I'm glad to hear your Dad has his rifle back.
It was really unfortunate what his brother did. ( I understand, having experienced something similar. )
Even with all his 'bionic' parts, I hope he gets out in the woods and scores.
Your story is why I like to use my Grandfathers Parker and a couple of other rifles.

Funny, this story is at least as old as 2007.
Certainly could not be true. DIYguy just stated this last night:
"Im hoping he scores. He does not have many hunts left in him. A heart attack and 5 stents, twice blocked carotid. No hearing or teeth left and both knees replaced and bad eyes."But I looked it up, and you are right. There are several forums where it was posted, the first being in 2007. http://www.buckmasters.com/social/forums.aspx?aff=6&aft=6576&afv=topichttp://forums.bowhunting.com/water-cooler/16082-1895-winchester-returned.htmlIt might have been a good idea for him just to tell the posters the story was seven years old, and that his Father had probably already done his "special" hunt with the Krag. Sort of makes Smoes of those who took his story to heart, believing it had just all happened and that his Father was on his way to what would seem like a hunt of a lifetime for him after all that had happened over the years

This sorta' schmoozing / jacking around (on DIY's part) just creeps me out,.....

Gunner Well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,seems like the joke (not funny) is on me. That's what I get for believing in people............... I'm 70 and have MANY more hunts left in me as long as the one I REALLY believe in lets me make them.
