This gun and I are both very old.

These Fellows know what they are talking about and it really is a nice gun ! It's amazing a gun or any thing else can stay in a Family that long ,you are very fortunate to have it and your Son and Grandson are fortunate to be receiving it ! Before my Uncle Passed ,he contacted me and said ,My Aunt would be coming home to visit from Mt. Rannier Wa. and she would have a package for me ,I was to take care of it and then pass it along down the Family line ,it is a Model 99 Savage, Take Down ,Chambered in the 300 Savage Caliber and purchased Brand New by my Grand Father ,although it has been drilled and tapped for a scope and I have only carried it a few times ,I can say ,it is one of my most cherished Firearms ! I can't even imagine ,how my Grandfather felt the Day he picked it up, Brand New while running a small Farm , Black Smithing and raising a litter of Kids !

Joe, that is realy cool. The history of the family with your gun is great. You might just want to wright it down lest we forget. I'm not as old as you but my wife says that I'm forgetting stuff all the time.Have the gun checked out and keep the history alive.
