John,

Outstanding. I have my father's Savage Model #3 he received in 1928 at the age of 10. He was a Drill Sgt. in WWII at Camp Bowie and Camp Walter in Tx. As a child I recall 3 garands set in his garden at a tripod "camp rest". He watered them right along with his tomatoes. He was very proud of those garands; those years spent cleaning them, inspecting them, and rusting/rotting them into the dirt. Alas, he outlived the garands, but the savage #3 is mine to pass onto my nephew or a niece. If I had a nickel for every squirrel, pigeon, rabbit it has accounted for, I'd be buying Tom A.'s collection or perhaps all your HP's. It was the first gun I ever shot. I also have my first gun, a Ruger 10-22, my mother strong disapproved, that 10th birthday of mine, 1972.
