I found an old guys hidden stash in a Savage 67 pump. He had rolled up $30 and stuck in the chamber. The gun was given to me because it was said to not function. The bolt was seized up and they thought it was loaded. After dousing it down with penetrating oil and a swift tap of a cleaning rod the bolt popped open. A $20 and $10 dated to the early 80s. Not quite as vintage but still cool to me.

A bowhunter at heart but a gun guy at soul. I'll take craftsmanship, wood and blue steel over plastic and composite any day.
