Kick much?

Looks like Elmer Fudds gun, that wascawy wabbit better watch out!!! lol
 
So, do you think Sullivan would let THAT in camp? :A Crutches::A Surrender:
 
What, no clip?
Follow up shot is going to take much to long.
 
any idea why the last shooter had to close the bolt slowly? :E Confused:
 
i wonder if any of them needed:D Barman::D Beer Bottle::D Booze::D Passed Out: to numb the pain after shooting that
 
Some seriously poor shooting positions for such a heavy recoiling rifle!

Seated too high to get the full butt employed to distribute the recoil.

I was cringing watching it!
 
@matt85 I think Justin just found your next gun!

lol no thanks... if that young dude in good shape cant even shoulder the gun then what the heck am I supposed to do with it?!?! :eek:

And I think that was the lightweight version he was having issues with!!!!

Thought the same thing. And did you notice that on the last guy at least they had two chairs stacked? So they were working to make sure they were in a bad position!
 
Could they have been in a worse shooting position, hunched over the bench like that, the butt poorly lodged in the shoulder? Doubtful.
 
I will stick to watching other people shoot those things. Too much horsepower!
 
Do you think I could use this for hunting baboons?
 
At 80 to 120 pounds, you would need 3 or 4 gun porters to carry it around for you.

I know i would only make it a short time hiking that bugger in the field.

with my back and legs the way they are id make it about 50 feet before i tossed the gun in a ditch and used my backup rifle. i personally would takes Cal's 4 bore over this any day. his 4 bore has the same muzzle diameter but weighs "only" 22 pounds.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
