That's me. I've been meaning to call Wes. I used to talk to him pretty regularly up until about a year and lost touch. I was at the savage plant last month and talked to a few guys about him He was spending a lot of time in ca but after he lost a few lines moved back here.

I was there from 92-03 (The Sportsman in the Pete Shepley days) and then Az Sportsmans when Glen and Shirley bought the then 3 stores in 93 from Pete (mesa, phx, and Glendale) then closed the West store and eventually opened the North store and bought the 2 Jensens stores in Tucson and eventually Shooters World. I managed the Camelback store for a year or two and then the Mesa store for 3 before I got out as the big boys were coming in and there was no way Glen was going to be able to last. I did a lot of the buying and ordering so Lots of shot shows and other buying shows along with rep and warehouse interactions and always enjoyed the products and customers. I still keep in touch with a few reps as well and started prostaffing for Vista outdoors the last 4-5 years and now with Savage since Vista sold them. I can't get industry out of my blood.

Thanks all. Back at work and found the picture of the first time we did it 3 years ago so added. 2 years ago my sons were skinning theirs as I was getting on mine so no picture of the 3 together. Last year was rough with that snow on opening day and my one son and I played hooky on the first nice day and killed 2 and the other one made it a longer season but got it done the last weekend I think it was. Anyway, all good times and good luck to all!

I was going to say how brave of you to hunt pigs with only 2 arrows. Lol. Nicely done!

Just checking on the idea of chambering a round and then releasing the firing mechanism with the bolt... I get that it will not go off when releasing, but most bolt actions won't allow you to go to safety when not cocked therefore nothing blocking the firing pin from a potential slam fire. I get the idea of not relying on a safety to do this (hence don't carry with a round in either) but man that just seems like an accident waiting to happen. On some bolt actions, I've even seen the firing pin protrude a bit in a relaxed position, now you have the pin up against the primer... Would scare me more than relying on the safety actually. I might be way off on this one, but not something I have even considered doing.

+1 on paritions as long as you don't hit the shoulder.

I chamber when I'm closing in on animal or when ready to shoot. Not during typical carry to glassing location or back to vehicle etc

I've got one in 25/20 from 1910. No homer bucket is safe out to about 75 yards. Fun rifles and hold their value even if you do shoot them on occasion (unless mint). Good luck with the sale!

That's why I started already, going to need a full year!

it is solid wood. Just took it apart to move it out. It's a heavy piece of furniture. Easy assembly, 8 nuts and 12 screws secure it to the base.

Sorry, does $250 sound about fair?
