I just bought one that I'm in love with. It's an 1899a takedown in .300 savage. S/N is 243,***. It's in great shape but I'm afraid it's been refinished, so I'll probably refinish it again but with a more period finish instead of the tru-oil that I suspect they used. Otherwise in great condition for an 85 year old gun. I'm going to look for a peep sight for it and intend to use it for hunting but it won't go to the woods. For me, hunting means opening the window in the living room. Got one taht way this morning with my 99E post-mil.

There is only one planet earth. How many chances do you think we get with her?
