[QUOTE="crowsnest2002, post: 1582446, member: 20192"] I have a little sentimentalism going on. When my grandfather passed away I was told I could go take whatever I wanted. He never had anything overly expensive or fabulous by any means, but we sure did spend a lot of time together hunting. We mostly hunted deer and squirrel exclusively. I felt really guilty going to his gun cabinet and looking and trying to pick something I wanted. I ended up picking an old savage 340 in 30-30 with enough notches in it to tell a story. Every deer he took he put a notch in the stock. I remember the one year he actually asked me to shoot it in for him. Anyway, there was one more I wanted because I remember him using it while we squirrel hunted and that was a savage double barrel 12ga. I didn't have the nerve to take it though because of the guilt for taking his guns. I really don't know what happened to the rest of them, but I really like shooting that 30-30 with some reloads. Crazy what kind of accuracy you can get out of it. Anyway, the memories of what we hold dear are worth nothing unless shared. [/QUOTE]
