Hi all! My name is Dan and I've been hunting for many years. I've been a NC boy all my life, but have traveled quite a bit. Here I am with my two son's. Adam my youngest on the left (he likes to hunt) and Alex my oldest on the right (hunting ... not so much, don't know what I did wrong here.... kidding, he'll come along someday!). Until recently I was using my Traditions ML and kept my trusty ole White Mountain Carbine as a backup. When I heard Savage was discontinuing the 10ML-II I decided to get off my duff and get one. I'd been meaning to get one for a while so I guess that's as good a reason as any. Here's my newest toy with a Nikon Prostaff and Deadnutz mount. For now I just want to get it patterning decently. So I can take it with me this weekend when I leave to hunt my property in Wisconsin. After the season is over I'll play around with it some more to fine tune it. On a side note after reading quite a bit on the forums I found it interesting Savage sent a socket for the breach plug along with a bag of bullets/sabots in the box with the new gun. I look forward to getting to know you guys. I can already say I've learned quite a bit just lurking around. Peace Dan

Dan..........Welcome to the forum. Man, you are not too far from me? I am in Granite Falls. I get down your way once a month during the match season and shoot at The Piedmont Gun club. The 600 yard matches. We stop by Tony's Guns on our monthly trips. You probably know Buster Long who has the Pawn shop over on ( I believe) Sunshine rd. If I can be of any assistance, send me a PM and I'll give you my phone #. Richard

Richard,
I was in Tony's the other day buying some powder for my ML and I've bought a few guns from Buster. Heck I live just down the road from him on Bostic Sunshine Hwy and uh one of my best hunting spots is REAL close to his place.
Nice meeting everyone. I've just now recovered from my yearly hunting trip to Wisconsin.
