[quote=steve99]Joe,

If you happen to find a Canon point & shoot camera in a black case on one of the outside dining tables or somewhere else, keep ahold of it for me please. Thanks,

My brother and i had a great time again. A fine time meeting new Savage nuts and being with the old ones too. Thanks for hosting![/quote
Thanks Steve. Im glad you and Gary had a good time. I have your camera and i will get it to you. Hope to see you guys next year again!!

Joe,

Thanks great, thanks! Ted had an idea for its return. If you could get that to Jay, Jay is doing some work for Ted next week and Ted said he'd meet me at the Saylorsburg Flea. If that works for you and Jay, it works for me. Otherwise, I could come and get it, don't mind a drive.

Next year for sure Joe.

Ok. I will give it to Jay.

Arrived home at 7AM. Hope everyone else made it to their destinations safe.

Had a blast again this year, as expected. A huge thank you to Joe, Jay and Gary for all they do to make this such a huge success. It was nice seeing the faces I met last year again, along with some new ones. Sorry for the guys who couldn't make it, but there's always next year...God willin' and the river don't rise.

Can't wait till the pics are posted.

Sure missed you Roger. I had my center console stuffed with crispy C notes hoping you had that 22 with ya. Is that a Walther model 2? Joe.

Hey Joe,

Yeah I still have it. I think it is a Model 2 presentation grade off of the top of my head,

I was fondling it just the other day. I was giving everything in the safes a wipe down and spent a little extra time admiring it.

I read one time that something like 20 of them were supposedly made by Walther as gifts for bigwigs between the wars but who knows. Information is scarce and sketchy at best.

Like the Maltese Falcon, 'tis the stuff dreams are made of.

I was asked about the action.

It is essentially a semi-auto with a bolt action feature.

If you fire it with the bolt up the recoil cycles the action, if the bolt is closed(down) it operates like a bolt gun with a magazine clip feed.

Roger

WOW!

Talk about the stuff of dreams, Gary brought his Ballard Pope single shot 22. What a sweet shooting rifle with a very nice trigger. Thank you for letting me put a few down range Gary.

That 5/8" group you fired with it at 100 yards was pretty nice, Steve! Never underestimate us old guys armed with old rifles, eh?!

Looks like a good time was had. Liked the pictures.

That’s one of my greatest joys shooting with the 30ish young guys. Let them shoot their best group, then put a group inside theirs with a 100 plus year old rifle.
