Hi, I'm brand new to this forum, and I'm not sure if I'll sound like a total idiot or not, but figured it wouldn't hurt to try.
My husband inherited his great-grandfather's 300 Savage (serial # 330929) and never really took the time to 'bond' with the gun. This weekend he suggested he was thinking about loaning it to his Godson, who is a wreckless teenager, and I stepped up and told him I thought he was crazy. I jumped on the computer & did a little research on the gun (seems like it has pretty good reviews for deer hunting). Happy to say he's now reconsidered & is considering taking it out this season for the first time. Any reports on how old this gun is, and the goods/bads about it?
Secondly, I inherited my father's 243 Savage (coincidentally, just like hubby's). The serial # is C070395, and the thing looks like it's never been fired. It's the only gun I was able to get as when he passed away my oldest brother ransacked the house & took all his firearms. My husband's 300 was actually loaned to me originally when I went whitetail hunting (before kids), and I wondered if the 243 was a good deer gun. Also wondered how old this one is also because it looks like it's almost new.
I love the history that comes with these two guns, and I'm anxious to learn more about them. Any information you can throw at me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Trina
BTW: Yes, I do cling to my religion and guns.
