We had an awesome turnout!! Thanks to everyone that attended. Hope to meet some more new faces next year. I posted 3 folders of pics in the image gallery. If someone could move them to this post it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

A most excellent weekend. Sad it's over. (And no, Jerry, Dave is not here.)

I am glad to report that no Natty Lite was consumed in Noxen, PA this weekend.
That is all.

Sure was quiet around here this weekend with all you guys off-line...  Looks like you had: Great food. Great accommodations. Great weather. Great people. ...and a great selection of Savage Lever Rifles! Now we need names and who missed the photo session, please.  PS...putting the rifle info on a white note card (I think that started with RAS at the last Savage Fest 2018) makes it easy to later identify in the photos. Great idea.

Sorry to miss it this year but couldn't be helped. Looks like a great time was had by all! And wonderful weather for it.

Left paradise at 10:30, pulled up to my humble domain a spit after 7:00. Eternal gratitude to Joe (Triple Deuce) and his BIL Jay for being stellar hosts and enabling me to find that 10 pounds I had lost. Keith and Doug won the most click on the odometer contest of those who came by land. Most enjoyable time without a hitch. Don't see how it could have been any better. Garry, Dave is not here either.  A most excellent weekend. Sad it's over. (And no, Jerry, Dave is not here.)

Missed you there John. I think you would have liked the Noske scope. I think it is as cool as the Malcolm. Gary used some secret VooDoo magic on my Lyman 438 Field scope mounts and got it on the 23D Hornet for me. I think it took about 4 shots to have it dialed in pretty good. Busted a few clay pigeons with it. Gary wiped out a whole row of clay birds with one shot of the 1911. That was almost as good as the cannon.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Got Fireball to the airport at 0-dark-hundred this morning. I debated whether to just drive him home and go hunting with him, instead of putting him on a plane after he told me all about the bear hunting opportunities where he lives.
We made that mountain ring with the incessant beat of Savage rifle fire this weekend. Might have to hit the gym and go on the wagon this week to counteract the effects of Savage fellowship!

Nothing like rubbing shoulders with Savage guys, and seeing all the fine rifles (and shooting a lot of them), to get the old Savage juices flowing again!

Just walked in the door boys, back home in Orry-gone. (Can't find Dave here either, he musta cleared out). A special thanks to Joe Martin for hosting me on arrival, transporting my gun to a drop off point for shipment home (an hour out of his way!), and bunking up. Gary for hosting me last night and the gun show-and tell, plus the grand tour of Annapolis Maryland. Splendid treatment undeserved but welcomed with true humility. Great men both. Joe "Triple Deuce" for hosting, and Jay cooked all those meals. The wives helped, kids were a real blessing (the boy can shoot!). Somehow I missed the Natural Light when it went around, which was a major disappointment.  NOT. Tim was a most excellent help on the binoculars at the range, calling the shots for everyone. Pocono Jack with his engraved 99F 243 about drove me into bankruptcy, barely made it out alive! Jerry Oldotter with his ready laugh, Gary, Doug and others with their stories. Dave had that 32-40 which I was not expecting to shoot like it did. That thing is COOL! Everyone contributed something, Keith had an awesome little 250 he was working up loads for, right there on the table with hand tools! I could go on and on, but I'll let someone else cover some of it. As for myself, I grabbed a 99E in 303 but didn't have time to work up any good loads for it, so I went back on the forum and found some threads talking about best 303 loads. I loaded up 180 rounds with 150 grain semi round nose bullets, brand unknown, and 31 grains of 3031 powder and sent them ahead. Everything was waiting for me on arrival. Didn't shoot fer schit as it turns out. Gotta be careful what you read on the innernet! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/YycoOWW.jpg) Sorry guys just had to rub it in.  Spending the day shooting, watching everyone sighting in and shooting for groups, all just made my heart happy to be alive. What a great bunch of guys. Beautiful country back there too.
