Thanks Don, that is outstanding work by LRF.

Don I'm always amazed at your collection! I'm curious about two rifles in your pic. If you count from the lever boss in the corner of the pic, #5 has what looks like maybe an english walnut stock and #11 has a color case reciever, whats the story on those two?........Scott

Scott, the cased colored one is just a 99 F in 30-30 that i bought off the internet, it wasn't original so i checkered the stock like the 1938-1940 F's were, the case coloring is really nice i have no idea who did it. The one with the english walnut is a custom takedown rifle that started off as a 1926-27 F. A member here built it Lynn Fleeger ( LRF) he did a great job built a half round,half octagon barrel in a takedown configuration,french greyed receiver with engraving,english walnut stock with cheekpiece and checkering, 30-30 caliber,its really unique as savage never offered a octagon takedown for general sales, they might have made a few custom or experimental models not sure.
