It was in pretty rough shape so I refinished and reblued. It shoots lights out with factory ammo so I rolled some 150 partitions atop 40.5 gr of Varget and the rest is history. Even kept the old steel tube Weaver on it. Beautiful restore job

What I don't have is a good camera to take outdoors, and for most of my life I had no camera at all. Here are 3 kills I made with 3 different rifles. I have killed many dozens more with probably 30 other "Old School" rifles over the last 5/8th of a century. But until about 5 years ago I never got a picture of any of them. Even these 3 were taken by hunting partners of mine with their cameras.

moosemike Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 14,021 Likes: 7 PA	Originally Posted by 260Remguy The one 100 year old rifle that I take afield more often than any others is a Savage 1920 in 250-3000 that once belonged to Larry Koller. It seems to me that a rifle once owned by the author of "Shots At Whitetails" should get the opportunity to actually take a shot at a whitetail once in awhile. There is a 1912 vintage Savage 1899CD in 25-35 that I've thought about shooting a late season whitetail doe with, but it probably won't get beyond the thought about it stage. Is that the same gun he talks about in the book?

Deer killed 12-26-2022. I'm hunting with a 1936 Winchester model 71 with the factory bolt peep for the rest of the season.

He generally takes a deer with it, and I'm not he's ever taken a deer not with it. This year he finally took my advice and getting the home drill and tap tigged and redone. He had loose scope syndrome. Of course he was still using the weaver steel tube post and cross hair scope. Who knows what really came loose. I am the NorthEast WoodsBeast!

This deer season, I plan on doing some hunting with my Dad's Marlin, saddlering 336. 24HCF in its entirety, is solely responsible for why my children do not have college funds, my mortgage isn't paid-off and why I will never retire early enough to enjoy the remainder of my life.
