Lets get a some lever action #### going

[Slooshark1]

None of my wife's relatives are hunters or firearms owners. A couple of months ago, one of them told me that he had a couple of old rifles that belonged to his Grandfather. This guy was already 70 years old. He came up from his basement with a small bundle that was all taped up. We untaped the package and he pulled out two takedown rifles. One was a Winchester 1886 Lightweight rifle chambered in .33 WCF and the other one is a Savage Model 1899 in .303 Savage with a spare .410 shotgun barrel. I've reloaded and hunted with the Winchester several times this Fall but haven't been fortunate enough to bag an animal with it yet. There's still a few more days though.

Here's a picture of my wife's Great Grandfather on a hunting trip with this rifle back in 1937. The guy on the far right was his 15 year old son. He was a pilot in a Lancaster bomber when he was shot down and killed on March 5th, 1945 on a bombing raid over Germany.

The rifles have been in storage for more than 40 years. I was given one box of .33 WCF ammo and two boxes of .303 Savage ammo.

I've heard of good fortune happening to some people but I never thought that it would actually happen to me.

Savage also engraved a few. These two were engraved later (1928) by Fred Gough and not an early engraved savage by Enoch Tue, but still a factory engraved savage.

Both savage calibers, the lighter wood is 250-3000 and the darker wood is 300 sav.

Some 99's
This 99F in 308 was purchased by my Father for my Grandfather in the mid 50's and was given to me in the mid 70's unfired. It was my "Guide Gun" for many years and saw a lot of miles as a saddle gun so its not so shiny any more. It also accounted for all my early hunting experiences.

A recently aquired 99R 250-3000

One of my Dad's projects in 30-30 that I have aquired.

hey there do you live in canada? Im just wondering what these things look like with a 26' overall length but yours looks like its around 24'

Im on the waitlist for a rossi ranch hand and heard they may need to be extended by 2.5 inches (not according to law but because the RCMP dont know what they are doing)

1895 in 30 USG. Lettered by Cody for 1901 mfg.
Got it in November and shot a deer with it three days later using 220 gr Hornadys. I mean really, how could I resist?

Nice pics guys!
