Anyone receive or treat themselves to anything Savage related?
I finally found a .303 that I've wanted for a long time thanks to my wife's detective work.
It should be here in a few days so I'll be happily loading up all the brass I have squirreled away today.
Anyone else?

This isn't exactly what you were looking for, but a great story, just the same. This is a story out of Charles Russell's "Trails Plowed Under" a book he wrote and illustrated. People just don't write like that anymore... "If it wasn't for the stream of fire runnin' from Beaver's weapon, we'd be in plumb darkness" ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/gun%20related%20items%20and%20articles/SavageSantaClause1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/gun%20related%20items%20and%20articles/SavageSantaClause2.jpg)

One of my hunting buddies gave me one of the cool Savage coffee cups that our pal Gary designed. ![[Linked Image]](http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww146/RodPhillips/IMG_1169_zps22cfea57.jpg) It's not the 99 K that I had asked for, but it's nice. Rod

That story by Charlie Russel had me real worried when his bunkie stated shooting a grizzly with a Henry. That .44 rimfire cartridge it shot was really puny. I'm sure Charlie saved the day with his Sharps.

A generous member of this forum gave me a quantity of unfired 250-3000 brass for Christmas and would not allow me to compensate him. So I'll be loading up and fire-forming 50 cases real soon. Again my thanks to our "Secret Santa."
