Wonderful rifle! Congrats! :grin:

My local dealer got one in. He knows my fondness for the Number One and is trying to talk me into a deal... I have utterly no need for such a beast, but it is undeniably cool!
 
Pop
You are making me jealous. It 's not funny. You are buying up all the guy toys. At least let us know how they are shooting. Especially the Savages.
In fact did you actually get to shoot your new custom shop savage?? Pronghorns Beware :lol: I'm still looking for elk and mule deer info and how your bees are doing since you've gone savage on us.
Good Hunting
Elkhunt :grin:
 
Thanks Pop

I missed that posting. Boy those are some ACCURATE rifles. They should be fun. Do you have any (next rifle) plans?
Good Hunting
Elkhunt :grin:
 
Thought I posted on this one but guess not. Nice lookin single shot!!! Should really get me one of them some day! However, dont think the old adage will apply to me. "Beware the man with only one rifle (especially if its a single shot) he probably know how to use it." Nice Rifle ........:).... again!! CL
