[QUOTE="crazymonkey, post: 2989909, member: 125421"] I'll have to admit the first year's giveaway gun was just because I needed space in the safe . I had 5 30-06 at the time and figured one needed to go . So I setup the giveaway on a local hunting sight and had 60 entries the first year . The gun was a sporterized 1903 and looked super clean not some hack job . I took it in and had a break installed to take recoil down . That gun kicked my but ! I hadn't shot it before deciding to donate it and it was a fight with scopes ( vortex junk) now admitting the first of 3 scopes was due to misaligned bases but the other were just junk . I spent over a month trying to get it to shoot and finally pulled the scope and put on a leupold and was golden. I did offer the winner his choice of 3 guns tho because I fought the 1903 so much . That 1 gun giveaway turned to 2 guns that year. 1st place took a winchester ranger modle 30-06 and I opted to give the 03 to the second place . It is now something I truly enjoy and have been giving new guns and what ever hunting gear I can get or have donated to the kids. I went from 60 the first year to 160 the second year for entries. I do this in my spare time . So it needs to be something that's simple and easy . I don't get much spare time I'm 7 days a week and average 83 hours a week . If you can do it the smiles and thank you you get from the kids will be all you need. [/QUOTE]
