Had to go out of state to a wedding. Brought this guy back. 1912 in 303 Savage.

The rat pack is slowly getting less ratty.

Beautiful rifle! Is it a TD Short Rifle with special order pistol grip?

Yep, takedown and pistol grip, smooth buttplate. All numbers match.

Looks like you need to travel more....

Now you're talking, Rory! I love it. If you ever get tired of it...

Now you're talking. Congratulations.

Nice

Were did you find that? Nice rifle. You don't see many optional pistol grips in that era.

I shared a few cell phone pics with a couple guys yesterday.

You're about 3rd in line.

Not flawless, but given it's 104 years old I'm thrilled. Thin chip gone from top of buttplate, couple of small tang cracks starting. Honest, high quality gun.





Think I'm gonna have to sell a couple of others off now, tho.

Nice! How'd ya' trip over it??

Was that the one at Cabela's in Rapid City? If it is, I was was looking hard at it! Your gain my lose. Again nice rifle.

Actually I'd been looking at it online for a few months. Cabela's had it, but their pics weren't great and price was a bit much to take a risk on it. Stopped by and picked it up and said, "Oh My...".

Wife and the boys even oohed and aahed and said it was "pretty".


Yep.. I think a number of folks were looking at it.

Really nice find Rory....I agree with your wife and boys. It" pretty...

Once again you proved yourself a man of refinement and good taste!

Nice!

That's a dandy! Just have to cut back on cost of wedding presents and a couple fewer drinks and its paid for.....

Nice one !!

That's a nice one to have, congrats!

good find

When are you taking it hunting? Looks like it's been resting too long, Joe.

very nice . get a letter !

plab

Never!!

I have more guns that were messed with that need to be hunted then I will ever get to. I can afford to have a few that are just to look at. David's experience with his 284 sticks in my mind..

Just messin with you Rory. My Malcolm is the only rifle that I would try to protect, and it's going out next month. It's the only HP I have and I'm trying for the slam this year, so it has to go out. I think I'm going to pull the scope and send it to Parsons to rebuild, and hunt with the tang sight, Joe.

Wow that a Dandy rifle!

thats a beauty Rory.

norm

Sweet! Very sweet!

That is sweet!

A handsome rifle
