If I post it as it was first loaded to IMGUR, it will post fine, in this case upside down. If I edit it, and rotate it, right side up, it just posts the link. Don't ask me why, I don't understand these things. I'm not greedy, I just want one of each. Remember Ira Hayes JoeMartin

The addition of the "?1" in the url breaks it for display here. So what imgur gives you ends up like this: [img]https://i.imgur.com/cfzV7Wl.jpg?1[/img] If you remove the "?1" from the end, it will often work. So for this link https://i.imgur.com/cfzV7Wl.jpg you get: Sometimes the link no longer works if you remove the trailing letters that are after the .jpg/.jpeg/etc, but you can add a "fake" .jpg ending. Just tack on "&.jpg" to your link. So for this link https://i.imgur.com/cfzV7Wl.jpg?1&.jpg you get: “The Savage 99 Pocket Reference”. All models and variations of 1895’s, 1899’s and 99’s covered. Also dates, checkering, engraving.. Find at www.savagelevers.com

I just got jacked around and I had to step away before I said something I wouldn't even come close to regretting but would have felt really, really good to get off my chest. Held my tongue this time. proud of ya Roy! Might want to rethink that Tom. I'm not letting that kind of crap go. I've fixed broken guns for more than one person here, sent more than one stock sets for broken guns, taken apart my safe to get guns out of the back and then taken them apart and taken photos to get answers for guys that asked them, taken guys hunting, met guys for lunch and helped them when they toured Oregon. Sent one stock to a member here for recheckering then just ended up sending him the whole gun and letting him have it. Just because he's one hell of a nice guy. Yeah, I'm disappointed to learn ya'll aren't here to serve me. might want to rethink that too! i seldom come on the fire anymore because of all the bickering and call outs. there is truth in each of the posts in this thread. but each poster see's things from his own perspective. i have learned much from this forum and it is one of three i look at each morning. hate to see you guy's fighting like teenagers. the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded.

One says BBCODE(for message boards and forums), that's the one I click. 99% of the time it works fine. Now and then I'll post 4-5 pics and 3 will post the pic, and the others have the link. It just started doing this in the past few months. And, it only does it here. I'll look at the end of the link before I click it and see what I find. I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Once I got it sorted and sighted in I was happy. At my age I probably won’t buy another unless it’s a smoking deal. Love the rifle but the other ones I would like are very expensive and living on SS it isn’t going to happen. I still log on here 3 or 4 times a week to see what’s going on and what rare rifle someone got or if Roy killed another bear. I have limited knowledge compared to most people so I just read and enjoy the happenings on here. I am pretty sure that a lot of people do the same, so to the regulars, keep posting we are out here enjoying the site. Oh, and here is a picture of my only common, fun of the mill, everyone has one 99EG in 300 Savage. 😂😎 screen capture windows 7

Don't be bashful about buying more 99's your heirs can probably sell them at a profit. wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

I tell you Fug, one of the reasons we loose folks to FB is because we are old, and they are young. I'm not a purist, I truly wish I could be, but my old hot rodding spirit comes through. I appreciate Roy's adventures. I almost cried when he offered me his 270 Titus, and I had to pass on it. I'm really excited with the .429 straight wall I'm playing with, on a 400 Whelen case, shortened, in a 99C. But these are just gun looney natural tendencies. Over on FB I see some of the most awful, ugly, abominations you can imagine, and they have 20 positive replies. The Levergun forum is worse. I guy posted pics of his true love, a Marlin with synthetic stock, picatiny, monster scope, and a can . Out of respect to his hard work and investment, I couldn't say I didn't even want to be in the same state as that thing, and every single reply was Yes, Love it, Where can I get one like it. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great guys on FB, a lot from here, and a lot I didn't know. Some great knowledge there. Same with Leverguns. I've been talking to a guy in Sweden, I think, that took a moose with an 1895 Winchester. I wish a moose would kick me in the head for selling my 1895 Winny, made in 1910, 35 Winchester, bought from the original owner. FB reminds me of Star Wars, their ray gun pistols were 1896 Broom Handles. That's what a lot of the new generation want to make their Grand Dad's 1899 look like. The older guys on FB tend to know how to coddle them. Very shortly after I came here some one called me Stupid, or the question I asked was Stupid. So, I sent them a PM and asked ,"what did I do Stupid, So I don't do the Stupid thing again?" They responded laughing, said Stupid was probably a little strong, ignorant was probably more accurate, and went on to tell me the stupid thing I did, and they were right. I still get along just fine with that person. The kids don't want to know what we think, or if we are right, they just want some one to agree with them. I understand that too. Joe, a moose would have to kick me in the head,IF I had a win 1895 and tried to sell it. Ken

The two moose were dead center in front of the softwood tree. The one in the back was the bigger of the two. I waited for the front one to move so I could get a clear shot. But carry on, I don't want to bore anyone or steal the thread. Someone opened the door when moose was mentioned. Carry on.
