Yes 2 now. That’s what they said a lab mix, The smartest dogs I’ve seen Have always been mutts.
The calm before the storm. Have 50 people coming for dinner. I already have kindling split so that when I'm ready for them to leave, I can fire up the stove and let the heat run em off!

Dinosaurs hadn't come around yet when I was in school.
I'd fire it up as soon as the first couple of people get there. They'll be ready to leave before desserts.The calm before the storm. Have 50 people coming for dinner. I already have kindling split so that when I'm ready for them to leave, I can fire up the stove and let the heat run em off!

Nice looking pup.
The way to test if there’s any lab mixed in it is put out a pile of rocks, orange peel and leather straps.
If the dog eats it all then comes up to you looking hungry and begging for food it’s got lab in it LOL.
Last day of MD deer season. I got skunked in WV, hunted shotgun in MD twice and didn't see any bucks. I wanted to rifle hunt. I've taken deer with my Savage 99's in 22 Savage HiPower, Savage 250-3000, Savage 300, and all I needed was one with my Savage 303. That completes the Savage Slam of taking a game animal with each of the Savage cartridges. I'm in a rifle county so at 2 oclock I went over a friends farm and got on stand. At about 4:26 this guy walked out at about 300 yards and kept coming till he was about 80-100 yards. was using a Model 99 in 303 Savage made in 1927 with a Lightfoot no drill scope mount with a Weaver K4. At 300 the cross hairs looked so thick they blocked his whole body, at 200 I could see his body better, and at 100 I could see him well. He was looking right in my direction, so I went for a neck shot. He ran about 10 yards.

Rarefish: I recently bought a M99 300 Savage at a local gun show. On test firing it I found the spring in the rotary magazine must be broken. How difficult is it to change out this spring? A do it yourself job or is a gunsmith necessary? Are the springs available?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Happy Birthday James! Hope it ended good!

How far did you go to get it, beautiful out there.
Parts are available unless it’s real old. I know lots of guys that take them apart and they say it’s not rocket science. I’ve never had to work on one. I think it might be a bolt spring. They say put it in a gallon zip lock bag because the springs fly out and roll under the fridge, even if you are in another room. I’ll send you a pm with a web site that can walk you through it. If you give me the serial with the last two digits x’d out I can give you the date it was made. If it was made after 1949 look on the boss where the lever hinges. There will be an oval with a number and letter. Like “12B”. The number is an inspectors mark. The letter is a date code. The date codes started in 49=a, 50=B 51= C, etc. if you see a letter or number, but no oval, it’s older than 49 and they are inspectors marks.
