RE: Old guns (here's a cool story)....
My dad's old lever action .303 Savage. He bought it back in the early 1950s, but it was a used rifle when he bought it. No telling how old it is. I saw that man make shots in the deep woods and in the open fields that to this day make me wonder how in the heck he pulled them off. The gun's so old that one can't even find .303 Savage ammo any longer unless you are willing to pay $40 for a box of ammo that's comparable to a 30-30. The best part: The old man paid an incredible $20 for the gun! Not a bad investment for a 50 year career, I guess.
