I'll turn the clock back to my first deer camp (as a teenager in the 1970's) in the NY Catskill Mountains (south side of the Pepacton Reservoir in Delaware County).
The guns I still recall vividly on the gun racks include:
multiple Remington 760, all in 30-06 . One had basketweave checking.
multiple Remington 740 and 742, all in 30-06
Savage 99 EG , 300 Savage
Marlin 336 Sporting Carbine, 30-30
Marlin 336A , 30-30
Marlin 336C, 30-30
DCM-purchased 1903-a3 Springfield, 30-06, original sights
Browning auto-5 Buck Special, 12 gauge
All had blued steel (or parkerized) with walnut stocks. The good old days.
Magical and memorable times way back when. Good people, safe hunters, a lot of laughter, good food and good story tellers. It doesn't get any better for a teenager.
