Gary, you and I have never had a conversation, but I must tell you that I'm eternally amazed at your knowledge and insight about all things gunny ... and especially Savages.

No matter what you decide about your continued presence on this forum, please know that you have my utmost respect.

And, yeah, I agree with you about the 24HCF. It has devolved into slime pit and most of the wonderful camaraderie that we had many years ago is now gone. The Savage Collectors forum is civil, but only because you guys are the best!!!!

I seldom post these days. And when I do, I'm usually verbally attacked in short order. Personally, I wonder about the motivation there ... maybe hated of gun writers, successful folks or whatever.

Anyway, Gary, I simply had to tell you that you have my respect and I totally admire your knowledge and many wonderful skills. I consider you a friend that I've never met.

All the best,

Steve Timm
