The first rifle I bought when I turned 18 was a Brush Gun in 358. Still have it, nearly 40 years later. I had started hunting with a Win 94 (32 Spl, not that piddly little 30-30 ) but Dad and nearly all the guys at camp had 99's. In fact, of the regulars, only 1 guy used a bolt gun, one a used a 94 and the rest had 99's. That was in Northcentral Pa. in the 70's. Just me and Dad left, maybe one other guy but I haven't seen him in years. Bummer.
Dale, I thought I made you a very fair offer when I said I'd take that gun off your hands for $100.00. 'Still torqued that you didn't accept! All joking aside, that's a really nice rifle buddy. Congrats to you sir.
