Some of y'all have seen me posting , asking for help getting 2 of these 3 up and running. Well since I was off all week, and the Great wife I have, got me the parts, the Round-to-it got-er-done.
First is a 170B Savage, in 35 Rem., I got at an auction years ago. Muzzle was rusted out, so it is missing 3 inches of barrel. Still needs a good finish put on the stock and re-blued, but it's ready to try for some wild piggies.

Second is was a BAD trade I got talked into a few years ago. I had a perfectly good Marlin in 44 mag that shot cast like a house a fire. But this is one of the guns I have always wanted, so like the dummy I am, I traded. Savage 99 in 308. Gun shoots OK but it was a 1 shooter. It refused to extract. Replaced the extractor, still NG. Polished the chamber (It might still need more) and another new extractor.
It's wearing an Old Challenger (by Weaver) 3X9 scope. Yea I know the stainless rings look like a French lady of the evening. But the blue rings I had for it last night were stripped, hence the abortion in mounting. It will change IF this thing starts working.

Last is a Remington 141, in 35 Rem. that showed up at my favorite pawn shop at a great price. I put a hold on it, Before I knew that the wife had just been laid off. (Tuesday before Christmas). We Got Christmas out of the way and scrounged up the necessary money to pick it up yesterday. It has been reblued and was done OK, Wish they would have taken more time to keep all of the lettering sharp.
When I was 16 a kid I played ball with had his Grand dad's 141 (35 Rem) for sale for $25. I asked my Dad if I could buy it and he said "NO !". In my youth if Dad said No it ment NO. So I had to pass. Now 45 years later I have my 141.
