Everyone been showing pictures of their arms . I thought I'd show a few of my most treasured guns. I didn't build any of em or they were not gifts for being charitable. I inherited them defiantly among my most treasured possession
First is peggy. A Remington 700 with a Redfield 4x. In 243. Every man has guns passed down from men before him but peggy was my grandmother's rifle. She is left in the stand behind the house. Never taken out. My grandmother , myself , my two sons and my grandson have all taken deer with peggy. She's dependable and deadly.
My last hunting photo of the real Peggy
Next is red. Red is a wichester model 70 30/06. This year red has been my primary rifle except when I hunt peggys stand. He had last year off while I tried out a new 7mm. Red was my grandfather. You can see the water mark on the bottom of the buttstock. As red got near the end he suffered from alzhimers. I would still take him hunting . he loved to deer hunt. He leaned the rifle against a tree and forgot where he left it. It took me 3 weekends to find it, lots of rain in between.
First time red took me deer hunting he changed my diaper in the stand. The last time he was 85 and I found him under his stand with a broken hip. It was the last time we were in the pasture together
Next is cupcake. A model 12 I'm not positive the year, but it was one of Peggy earliest anniversary gifts to red. I think they were married in 45. Gun could have been several years later idk. For the most part cupcake is kept well oiled and locked away. Shoot a few rounds of heavy high brass and you'll know why I call it cupcake. That's what you're shoulder will feel like.
