When I was 14 my buddy joined the Army and sold me his Savage single shot .22 for fifteen dollars. I still have that gun. Recently I took it down, refinished the stock, cleaned it all and it looks great. I haven't seen my old buddy in 25 years, but I decided that on May 19th, his 50 something birthday, I'm going to wrap that gun up and give it back to him. Wish I would have thought about it on his 50th, but I think he'll love it never-the-less. Brings back lots of wonderful memories. Hope he keeps it for 30+ years and gives it back to me.
