Free: Contests & Raffles.
Did Roy's 35 have the end of the shell case on the side of the receiver(it looks as if the end of the 35 case was cut off and attached to the receiver)? My father has a 35 rem that looks the same as Roy's, what an excellent brush and bear gun! Haven't heard many stories about it but many with the old 300 savage.
Glad I got to catch this thread this time around. Loved the stories and pics. Looks like a tough old bird...
I have this picture on my wall. Here was an old family friend that used to come visit my Grandfather and family(Idabooner). I'm hoping Idabooner will log on here with one or two stories about him. I can think of two (a shooting contest with a magpie) and how he used to use one bullet a year to harvest his deer. They are classic and to be shared. Anyhow this picture is also important to me because I once carried out a bear out of a canyon in Naches with the backpack method. Its a little bloody and a little stinky, but one heck of a way to get a small bear out. No three hundred pounders here.An old indian family friend with his 200th bear. I wish I hd his gun!
