I have one in 38-55. Aside from the fact that this asshole endangered/tried to hurt someone, its also very disrespectful to the rifle itself to use it in such a manner. Those are fine pieces of historical art in my opinion. I would bet he basically gave that rifle a death sentence, it will probably be destroyed by police.

Just think, a model 99 in 250-3000, hell I would look the guy up and see if could buy it off him ( more than likely not his and stolen though.)

That place is trouble. They closed down the no tell motel on the flip side and all they did was move kit and caboodle around the corner to the Royal. Close it down and hopefully the drugs and prostitution from that block will be gone … gone from that corner but unfortunately they will just move down the street.
