The Savages sit pretty close to the Marlins,but then again they are closely related !  I only let them get close to the 1881 deluxe marlin in 32-40,dont want them to hang out with the common folk !!! ![[Linked Image]](http://www.pbase.com/loggah/image/132576828/original.jpg)

Rory, Not sugaring this year,had enough syrup left over for another year,and my trees are not that big in diameter ,so its good to give them a rest once in a while. Don A rest for you occasionally probably isn't a bad thing either.

Don't suppose you know where there are any Winchesters?

I thought you might know where there were a couple of Winchesters. That is a crazy awesome collection of historical firearms. Thanks for posting those pics Don. Pure porn.

4th picture down, 2nd rifle from top. Is that flames on the pistol grip checkering? It looks like a K, but I've never seen checkering like that.

Loggah, Excellent collection there. You might catch up to me soon.

4th picture down, 2nd rifle from top. Is that flames on the pistol grip checkering? It looks like a K, but I've never seen checkering like that. Far too early to be a 99K: special order buttplate (hrb or shotgun?), special order fancy wood and higher grade checkering. That checkering was used on the Leader Grade. Mine isn't nearly as nice as Don's, but I do have closeups of the checkering handy. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.savagefest.net/my_99s/1902_Leader_303/var/resizes/Right_Front_Buttstock.JPG) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.savagefest.net/my_99s/1902_Leader_303/var/resizes/Right_Forearm.JPG)

Well they are both custom guns,one is a 99f that has a case colored receiver and checkering, i did the factory style checkering after these photos. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.pbase.com/loggah/image/77420534/original.jpg) The other rifle is a custom rifle i bought off Jed years ago it was made by forum member LRF and is known as the pig gun ,there was a lot of discussion here with pictures,one of a kind octagon takedown with engraving and french greyed receiver. maybe someone here can link to the old thread. I dont have any newer pictures of it.

I remember the first time I walked through that door. You said this is nothing compared to the collection in Maine. Well, maybe so. But between the two of them Ill bet that pretty much nothing is left uncovered. Most question a detail and refer to "data" while you guys only have to take a short walk and produce an in hand example. Thanks for the trip down memory lane..

LBK,I think i called it more of an "assortment" then a collection ! That was quite a while ago when you first came to visit,right after i got it set up.I think i have a pretty good assortment of pre 1960 stuff,not many of the tang safety vintage.

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
