There not safe queens by any means, the Kimber has a moose and several deer to it's credit, the 75th Super grade two deer plus it was in the ATV gun scabbard when the ATV gently rolled over on it's side on a steep grade, pinning it to the ground, no damage, those hard plastic gun scabbards are good, I could have cried though when I seen the ATV laying on top of it with the butt stock mushed into the dirt and leaves. The featherweight has several crows, a couple deer, a coyote, and several cats to it's credit. The .375 was new this past spring, although I carried it several times this fall no opportunities arose.

Anybody else got family pictures they would like to share, always nice to see what the other fella treasures are.
 
I clean mine after the hunting season but not to last the winter. I shoot about three/four times in the winter at the range to stay in "shooting shape," and needless to say many times during the rest of the year. BTW, beautiful firearms!
 
The only one that will get used this winter is the .243 for coyotes, I don't get out that much and to tell you the truth I am not that good at it. There is a fella that posts pictures here on CGN that lives a about a half hour south of me that is the local guru on coyote hunting.
As you can see my preference is decent blueing and wood, I also like black fore ends, might get creative some day and install one on the featherweight in the Schnabel style as I still have lots of ebony. I might also have a liking for M-70's. There's nothing wrong with stainless and composite it's just not my preference although in most instances it is a hell a lot more practical.

That's great! I always consider it a little sad when a gun is condemned to the safe.
