Got back home yesterday afternoon from helping my brother in law cut fire wood. We cut, split, and stacked another cord. Good seasoned white oak. When I came in my wife handed me a note to call this #, she said something about a raffle. I called and it was my LGS brother who is a shrine member. I had purchased a raffle ticket (3 for $5) some time ago and had forgotten about it, I NEVER win nothin !! WELLLL I Won. A Savage 93 .17 HMR, Stainless Steel, with grey lamanate stock, heavy barrel with a 3X9 scope ....... Just what I need, something else I dont want or need. When it rains, it pours. He reminded me there is another drawing next week for a Ruger m77 in .308. I have chances on it also, now that I would like. Guess I will wait and see who gets that one and MAYBE a trade ......
A trip to the LGS this morning and the Savage 93 .17 HMR has been flipped to this: Savage Mark II TR/wood stock
Patiently awaiting the range report. That should be a very accurate rifle. Curious if you will take time to rework the stock? Another project waiting in the wings???
I shoot its twin now. Wanted another one with a little better stock for bench. I will do some work on it. Just hoping this one is as good as the other Mark II. Here is what mine does now. This is a target from when I was testing different ammo. Granted I dont shoot those groups consistently. But the gun holds its own in matches. I am looking at a 40X target scope that Optics Planet has on sale and FREE SHIPPING. That lot of RWS R-50 I have been using is great. I am down to half a box left but have 2 bricks of another lot. But you never know, it may be as good, worse, or better.
What goes around comes around. When you do good, good follows. Always do good. Cause Bad does the same thing.
Great to know Gumpy, can I send my list to your facebook site ??? Oh, and since you are the REAL one, also included will be the receipts for this years Presents I will give in Your Name ........
Dang...and I paid for my bull barrel and it ain't even stainless! CONGRATS on your timely change in luck!
