All:

I have to admit that I probably didn't put in as much time as I should have. I mostly brought older guns but a few more modern guns sneaked in. No brush or saddle guns. There were a few that I missed. Anyways, here is my first ever display. Two tables with my middle son, who helped me a ton. Post your pics too.

Several there that would look good in my gun rack. Interesting letter with that post WWI 1899-H to later 30's G rifle. Never say "never".

Hope the boy didn't mind hanging with the old guys this weekend. Nice to have a young face in the group.

He wanted to go and told his mom today that he wants to go back if there is another event.

Somebody has to get these boom sticks. Lol.

Great pics Jeff. That 250 is a good snag.

That's great!! all the way around; son, collection, hand-to-hand possum award, 250BB acquisition!!

How about the 284 prototype? was that there to stir up the conversation?

Jeff,

The 284 prototype went to another forum member. He will probably write about it in his new book.

Eric and I had a great time. The quality of the collections was so impressive. What I learned at this show was well worth the trip. Eric and I are very anxious to get out the ES and get it ready for hunting this fall. This fall I'll carry the .243 and Eric will hunt with my 300. We definitely have a family thing going here. I hope we can hang some deer on the pole courtesy of these fine rifles. Thanks again guys for putting up with us. We really had a great time.

Ctw,

There is a 99% chance that a Montana B4 Scope will be going on the Spiegel, and the Unertl will be moving on to another rifle.

First time I ever saw a Unertl on a 99. I have them on a Hiwall and a 44 1/2. Great old scopes. If they
ever need work, I recommend Parsons Scope Service in Ohio.

Great display, thanks for posting. Nice for someone like myself to be able to look at the different models, side by side, with model designations.
