[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 2988969, member: 118066"] One of my best friends has been committed to a facility that can handle aggressive dementia patients. He went downhill very fast, but there was a family history for this. But about 18 years ago I gave him a CZ 550 in .270 win. One of the most accurate factory rifles I've seen. His son was going through his guns trying to figure out what to do so I let him know that I had given him the rifle and if no family member wanted it I'd buy it from him. As it turned out they were planning to give it back to me as a remembrance of him. Then a female cousin that had hunted with him sense she was a little girl said she wanted Uncle #$@&s .270.. It wasn't the same.270 he had used when they had hunted together then, but I said let me have it and I'll fix things up for her. He had let his guns get in poor condition over the last couple of years, but the CZ had weathered it well. 0000 steel wool removed any slight rust, and there wasn't much of it. New 30 mm rings and a leupold VXR 3-9x50 firedot reticle, Replacing the very old Burris that had been on it. She sat at my kitchen table and cried when she was given his rifle and the 50 rounds of ammo I'd loaded up for it. Which brought some moisture to my eyes also. I'd told a story about my scariest outdoor events, where something was following me back to my truck after dark in lower Alabama woods. Then jumped onto the bumper of my Tahoe as I was getting in. He was the guy. He doesn't remember who I am now. Very sad ! [/QUOTE]
