Basically looking to see what old rifles are still out there actively knocking over critters. What is the oldest still going,
Kudos for examples given by the original owner.
Extra kudos for photos as proof.

Greetings @longshot and All,
First my apologies for having hijacked your thread which was for old rifles still in use. So people I suggest it would be nice to see photos of rifles still in use, perhaps not as go to rifles but used from time to time. There must be a truck load of really neat hunting rifles made last century that some of the younger forum members may never have seen. I am thinking here of Savage 99 rifles in .250 Savage, Remington pumps, British bolt actions and rifles from Europe. Although perhaps not used much they are likely still around. In the current issue of Rod and Rifle on page 58 there is a picture of antlers with a rifle resting on them. The rifle receiver has the unmistakeable Martini outline. Where is that rifle now?
Regards Grandpamac.
