i am bringing some of the them down to my place in bozeman soon [ up in spirit hills ]; bringing stepson down to school at MSU.. in a few years i will be living there half of the time.

[ will be down there august 2-11th, buying some furniture and shooting prairie dogs. --- including a couple of lever action 22 magnums of course. ]

hope to run into you some day down there some day.


I will be around that time period, get in touch and we can tell stories about everyone else on the Campfire...





dang that is a nice 1889! looks nearly new never have latched onto a marlin 1888 or 1889...not for lack of trying though.

thanks,will try to give you a shout next week while we are down there.
