I have a bad case of Savageitis. If I pick up a gun and have no immediate admiration for it I simply put it back where it came from. I I do get THAT feeling I start shelling out for it cause it's coming home. I actually have 3 that keep me feeling warm and fuzzy all the time. my 30-30 T one of my 1899 250-3000's And my 1st K that once I started looking they were coming out of the woodwork. But in the end, I got the best one. When I got it it was unfired. It isn't now. NRA Endowment Life Member (and proud of it) Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I took that K two years in a row before I saw I buck I wanted to kill. I have to admit though. I was happy to get it home and back in the safe "If" I had damaged it I would have nobody to blame but myself.

I can't imagine what a Savage Fest must be like. Hard to find any rifles that compare locally. Ok, I could drive down to Fireball2's place, not to far guess. Thanks for posting them.
