They can do, but this one isn't bad. Dad made an alteration to it by way of the addition of a recoil pad, although I do have the original butt plate as well.

Both my son and my daughter are left handed but the granddaughter is like 'Poppa', right handed:D which is why the plan to eventually hand it down to her.
 
My grandpas late 40s Winchester model 94 in 30wcf which has our family name stamped into, like with a hammer and lettered metal punches, and my dads old Winchester .22 repeater which they sawed the end of the stock off because he was too short to use it when he was a child. They later reglued the end but when I see the mark it makes me laugh. We used to shoot these 2 rifles all during my childhood and luckily none of my 4 older brothers showed any interest in them so I got them both. Neither are in very good condition and not worth much but I wouldn't sell them for a lot of money.
 
I like my A-bolt 7mm rem mag. And although it is pretty average I cant see me ever finding a reason to get rid of my 10/22...It is fun and gets used every time I head out to the range...and is the first gun my kids have ever shot
 
I have a pair of 264 win mags. First is a p14 custom that Al Peterson at the Rifle Ranch built for my dad in the 60`s , second is a Sako i bought from Gordy`s guns as a barreled action. Would take a lot of talking and cash to get them from me.

What do you rub on the stocks of your collection, they seem to have the right
glitter?



Here's mine visiting Bullwinkle.





Need some camera lessons.......................:cool:
 
I would have three that will come to the grave with me.
- a model 12 28ga that was my grandfathers and was the first shotgun I ever hunted with.
- a 870 wingmaster 28ga skeet which I won my 1st comp with at 14.
- finally a 870 16ga wingmaster my grandfather bought new for me the year I was born but didnot live long enough to give it to me when I turned 14.

Everything else has a price:D
 
Really like the wood on that Husky,beautiful grain.This my never sell rifle,a 1954 Savage 99 EG in .300 sav that a deceased uncle gave me.It's the only pic I have of it and can't find my camera.It was my first 99,I'm up to 4 now.Another keeper is my MK11 Ruger in 30-06 that I got my first buck with.

Everything is for sale at some time in everyones life. The glow fades with years, as new interests take root and are nourished and watered. Those old conversation pieces, become stepping stones to the new," Apple of our eye". Things that we consider valuable or priceles usually comes from the fact that we have it, and others at the time consider it very valuable, and want it.. As the years go by, we are left alone to relish the glory days. When our Gem was the "talk of the town" or #### of the Walk. Now the pilgramage has ceased, the worshippers come no more. It is then that we do, what now must be done. We..............hmmm.......sell the dust collector and buy a Norinco M14s!!w:h: ....taken from 2nd Dontsellnothians Chapter 5 verses 1-5:wave:

Nice:). I was giving serious consideration to picking up the twin to your Ruger about a month back.

Dads Husky does have decent wood on it and it was his pride and joy. He had 'introduced' it to more than a few Moose and a number of Deer. On my first Mule Deer hunt on draw in Alberta, and for a bit of a family theme, I hunted with my Daughter and Son In Law and used my Dads Husky.

Yeah, you are absolutely right. I've sold a few that i have regretted selling ever since.
 
My beat up Browning BPS, I traded for it when I was 12, talked an older fellow out of it at a gun show for 100$ less than his lowest price. I have had many good times with it in my hands and in the hands of others hunting with me.

I also have a Franchi O/U that I picked up earlier this year that is like Thors hammer in my hand, I very seldom miss with it. I collected a pheasant and two woodcock with the first 4 shots I fired from it.
