Those would be really BEAR arms, and so furry they're not even BARE arms any more.
How about BEER arms  :t
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I just took some pics and figured I'd share.


My Grandfathers Savage Model 99 in .250-3000. Bought new at Western Auto in Waynesboro in either 1946 or 1951. Rotary Magazine, brass ammo counter and cocking indicator.



Closeup of the ammo counter and cocking indicator.



My collection so far from top to bottom:
Savage 99 in .250, Savage 11 in 7mm-08, Savage 110 in .270, Ruger 10/22 (newest addition), Marlin 782 in .22 Mag, SigSauer P226 in 9mm



Closeup of the Ruger and Marlin



Closeup of the Sig. Been thinking about some better grips. The factory ones are ok, but I'd like something a little better.

Want to sell the Model 99? Is it chambered .250-3000 ?

I'll be happy to take it off your hands. :)

Oh..its from your Grandfather, "just read that".

Disregard the offer, and I would advise you to one day make sure your Grandson owns it. :salute

It's been said we have three brains, one cobbled on top of the next. The stem is first, the reptilian brain; then the mammalian cerebellum; finally the over developed cerebral cortex.  They don't work together in awfully good harmony - hence ax murders, mobs, and socialism.

Was looking at grills. I'm thinking about having a permanent stationary grill put in the back yard. Outdoor-kitchen style... Found this. I don't want this one, but it was pretty amusing. :)

Exactly. I got ,mine a few weeks ago. Love it. I shoot it a little left, but I'm working on it.

It jumps around a bit with that short barrel, so I was thinking of getting a grip with those pronounced finger groves on front. Anyone have any suggestions? Yea or neigh, wood or rubbery, pach or hogue?

Does the firearm fit your hand well?

You got large hands or small hands when compared to the firearm.

I had a similar problem with 1911, perhaps due to the grip shape and my fairly small hands.  (and I was a mechanic for awhile go figure)

Went to VERY thin drip panels and problem solved.
