Lost or Stolen Savage Axis 270 in Pearrygin!

[sakoshooter]

Am I the only one that thinks it's kinda crappy that this guy and his son lose track of their rifle and automatically start claiming it was stolen. 

@ turykeyfeather

I did state lost of stolen. The gun was in the case and never used on this trip. It was in the back of the bed of the truck with a canopy. When we got back to camp it was gone.

That's info you should have put in your first post. You should know better than to leave a firearm unattended in a vehicle though.

Back of a truck w/canopy is not leaving a gun unattended 

A guy should be able to leave his gun in an open truck bed.

I agree you should be able to, but we all know you can't.

Happy ending. It's back with the 12 year old owner.

No story?

[furiouzgeorge]

Seriously where's the story?

[hunting4sanity]

Story or no story, sounds like Slope hunter should have some seriously good karma headed his way!

[billythekidrock]

It would be interesting to hear the whole story. Was it lost, left on the side of the road, stolen?

Happy ending........

I think I  have some great news for you and  your son. Message me your number

O.K This is just crazy ...but glad it worked out ...But I would like to know if he left it laying somewhere ? Since he said it was in the back of his truck ..We all know in the moment of excitement things like this could happen ...just clarify for the members and help prevent this from happening again

Not much of a story.

Slope hunters father found the gun on the gravel road in Pearrygin. There was not a scratch or any kind of damage.  There was a couple things missing scope cover and some manuals. This gun was not used on this trip.  Was in the back of the truck.  I THINK no solid proof that someone (kid) took it. They open the case and somethings feel out. They probably second guess what they did and ditched it. That is the only thing that makes sense to me.

I think my son actually learned a better lesson when the gun was returned.  He actually was really surprised as I was but he made this comment , there actually are good people out there. I have to thank this website and members.  Pretty cool ending!

I also tried to hook slope hunter up with something but he insist all he wanted was to know the gun made it back to his owner. Thanks again slope Hunter.

  No problem DELKOO. Glad it worked out.
