Maybe a "One Shot, Winner Take All" competition? Everybody puts in a buck.

Drinks, best cut of meat off the grill, baked potato with al the trimmings, fresh salad with them little cherry tamotas, the works.

Sorry JeffG, Gary was referring to JeffB. But, with close friends it's all good. There's room in my truck, and it's a Queen size bed, all three will fit.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Your truck is a queen-size bed? Threesomes in an F-150? You guys go on ahead, I'll meet you up there.

Seriously though. This Rendezvous is geared toward the Savage gun, involves perusing/fondling (calm down, Joe)/shooting/discussing of same, all under very informal circumstances. Scholarly debates there are as common as non-PC joke telling.
A Fest it isn't and was never meant to be. Better? No. As good as? Yes, in its own way. Friendship and male bonding over a common interest at its best.
Non-Savage guns find their way there too. I usually take as many other guns as I do Savages- it's all good. And where else would you go and fondle a superb rather rare Savage and then put a magazine full of cartridges through it an hour later, be it a 99, 1903, or 23?

Roy's bullet hole kinda looks like the bullet was tumbling when it hit the target.

Roy's bullet hole kinda looks like the bullet was tumbling when it hit the target. Although that hole does bear a strong resemblance to the contour of the cap to a BIC pen, including the little pocket hanger tab, as an eye witness to the feat, I can attest that one was not used.

I've asked a number of times how many rounds went through that hole but it seems to be a deep, dark secret. Was it more than 1??

Didn't Savage make a 99BLT, 99MGBGT and that other thing? I'm sure I've seen a few 99BSs, 99WTFs and 99SOLs in the past. And by the way, EGs rule! you left out pos

In fact, I was the spotter on, " the shot heard round the campground." It took a couple of rounds to walk that one in there, but not many. Damn fine shot, that Roy Manbeck.

Too bad we all witnessed it. Perfect opportunity to conjure up a Campfire 5 Shot One Hole Group.
