gardog,
I get putting a scope on something like a Marlin 336 (one cousin has his set up that way) but not on a Winchester. That Savage looks great, btw.
Hunting in VT was a good time, but no deer (my traditional result). In fairness, the family hunting camp is pretty high up, at around 2500' and near the top end of the hard wood. Moose have really spread into the higher elevations since the mid 90s and deer are mostly found down lower in the valleys. "Pasture deer". We saw 2 moose, lots of moose sign and relatively few deer tracks. Won't make it up this weekend but will shoot to shoot again next weekend.
Johnny, what's the plan? To throw the collection of knives at the deer if you run out of bullets!!
We can probably take up a collection to buy you some more shells if that would help.
On a serious note, do you clean out a deer with a knife as small as the #72? That's pretty impressive.
Getting back on track and just so Johnny can say, "I told you so", the Ulster Camper has displaced my "one knife" Opinel yet again. I'm a regular serial knife monogamist, it would seem.
what a price for a scopemount :shock:this is my Savage 99 in a .300 Savage the one at the top of the picture
