I think the guy wants too much money for the gun and I think post war R's are heavy. If that makes me a dick then I am a dick... Send me your address and I'll send you a box of tissues... Good to see you stupid SOB's eating your own. Sweet Jesus there are a bunch of stupid MOFOs that 'collect' Savages.

Well this certainly has become a kinder gentler group than when I got here 6 years ago.
Had my ass handed too me many times over those years. I didn't cry and quit. Chose to stick around and learn. And learn a lot I did.
When somebody brought a POS here, they were told it was a POS.
When somebody wanted stupid money for a gun, they were told in no uncertain terms it was stupid money.
I could buy that 300 F everyday of the week for $700. They are as common as ticks on a coon hounds back and there are a lot of guys here that know exactly what I am talking about.
Not the same as it used to be. Even the old guys are afraid of stepping on somebodies toes and hurting the new generation of cry baby's feelings.
You guys want to make this a kiss azz feel good forum, I won't get in the way.

OOOooooooooo my, you really are a "real" man. Thanks for pointing out the obvious about your personality. I doubt you have much to bring to the conversation intellectually, but I suppose the regulars already know that as well. See, I learned something. Thanks, 99boy

Thanks, 99boy Well, How can a man with as little intelligence, experience and education as I have argue with logic like that? I defer.

Randy, still waiting on that tissue... Not the same as when you and I came up Roy when people spoke their minds and you had to have thick skin to stick around. Now we all just kiss each others azzes...

Now you know why I almost never get into discussing values of guns on this forum.
I'd rather spend my time and energy arguing over when 1899's became 99's or whether RT's are R's or T's than argue over the value of a specific rifle.

You know Rory, if I was a pussy I'd put Steely and 99guy on ignore. I'm not so I won't but it sometimes pains me to see their posts to others. Some folks have class and some folks don't. Don't know if it's upbringing or genetic. Whatever it is it's pathetic. I know that from time to time I can be abrasive but I always try to be constructive. Sometimes I fail. Live goes on. Then there are those that glory in being confrontational and abusive. We know who you are and so do you.

Hey Roy, I seem to remember you taking some heat when you first came around for wanting to stuff Weird Boolitz into 99's, or something like that. If you check my registration date, I was accused of making an April "Fools" day joke. I just wanted to make a 38-55 switch barrel out of my 1926 303 F. Oh Well, life goes on. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at. Like the time my son and I did a 10 day wilderness hike in New Mexico. Getting supplies I told him to grab a box of Baby Wipes, thinking it would be nice to keep the exit hole from getting a little crusty. He said we had some at home and he would bring them. Turned out what we had at home were CLOROX kitchen towels. Talk about a wake up call, and a life changing experience. Butt, we survived that too, Joe.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

Hey Roy, I seem to remember you taking some heat when you first came around for wanting to stuff Weird Boolitz into 99's, or something like that. Gosh Joe, I'm sure I don't have any idea what you're talking about. Never taken any heat here before for any ideas I've had. This one was a big hit. This one too. That's what I appreciate about this forum, everyone is so kind and caring for one another. It's very special. All sarcasm aside, the Savage forum here is the kindest place I've seen at the campfire, so no complaints from me!!!! But, just in case someone needs one-

I don't think I was out of line pointing out that a gun that has been for sale for over a year was priced to high. This is a collectors forum, not Savage 99 kindergarden.
All that being said, in hindsight I could have chosen my words more carefully.
So somebodies feelings got hurt and then they chose to attack me and everybody piles on. Whatever... I'm a big boy.
Sure do miss the old days when a spade was a spade.

And just for the record, you can go back through the thread and see where LL deleted his post where he attacked me, called me a dick, etc., etc.

Yep Roy, I liked those two too. I started to mention them but I wasn't sure how to spell ceracote, I'm still not sure how to spell it, too tired to look it up, Joe.

Those two sure are the epitome of all-weather rifles, Roy. They would be no good to me though because I'm no longer all-weather myself. The kind of weather they would shine in would induce me to sit by the fire with a tumbler of whiskey and a good book! I'll stick with blued steel and walnut, for that reason.
