No matter the caliber or the condition that rifle & stock should be valuable to someone....whether as a conservation piece or in a museum!Not my Story but theres a well known fellow that lives 45 mins from me that has spent his life in the bush hunting and trapping and he has a rifle with teeth marks from a grizzly on his stock from having his gun down it's throat when attacked.
I've lived here for over 30 years and only heard the story about five years ago.
You need to visit that guy and get that story first hand!!

Lol. That just reminded me of one I shot while sitting in my truck with a .45acp. Shot was almost straight down.About 9", groundhog in its hole. Gun muzzle was about 1' down the hole in the ground
Nice blade! I would in this case credit Covid with saving a live . Maybe I'm chicken but I am not about to poke a griz with a sharp stick .I built this for a grizzly hunt but the Covid pandemic hit and my trip got canceled.View attachment 569637
