Can’t argue with a man buying 338’s!

Seems like a great excuse to buy a 7x57 to me @jduckhunter

To fallen comrades! Always remember!

Praying for a fast recovery brother!

Exactly, I believe the ‘75 never actually made it to production, if it did it was a very short lived one as there are not many originals accounted for from what I have read. I do love the clean lines of them though.

My oldest son’s first elk at 10 years old taken with a 243 Model 7 Remington. Don’t remember what bullet was used, either a partition or an interlock Hornady. She only went a short distance. Less gun than I prefer for shooting elk but it did the job perfectly with a pass through. Very nice...

C. sharps 1875 action, Axtell sights, Badger Barrel. Work done by John King up here in Montana. Chambered in 40-65 Winchester. I didn’t have this rifle built but I fell in lust with it and bought it from a fine gentleman in Wyoming a few months ago. I also have a C. Sharps built 45/70 1874...

English composition anyone? Perhaps a spelling bee to settle this quarrel?

Safe travels!

I’ve found a lot of information about the model, what I’d love to know is the story the gun could tell. It is a neat little gun but not in any shape to be any interest to anyone besides as a curio

And I thought this thread was going to be a competition! I’m with Red Leg!

Sorry for the bad picture but it is what I had on my phone. This is Clark Custom 6” Long slide built by Jim Clark Sr. Very accurate 1911. This was built back I believe in the 60’s when Jim welded the slides together. It is the only one I have personally seen. Came with a set of wooden...

Bought this at an auction, primarily because it would look cool amongst all the gun paraphernalia in a curio cabinet and partly because it was a pistol that a friends great grandfather had given him as a gift when he was a young boy. He had no attachment to it but I wanted to be able to pass it...

Ruger Hawkeye Single Shot, 256 Win Mag only made 1963-64. Around 3075 or so produced, many got molested when the owners changed to a different cartridge.

Great write up!

Lolo, Montana, my brother took these, I couldn’t see them from my bar stool in Alder.

Who did you have do the receiver?

I used to get mine from Huntington but that shipped has sailed. Get up with @Glenn Slaven and see if he can persuade Quality cartridge to run a batch, I’d be a buyer of 500 or so to make up a run

Your expander wasn’t deep enough, adjust it further into the case mouth

Congratulations on a fine Roe Buck, glad you had another great trip!

I just really want to know how Toby keeps his counters so clean and ammo/reloading component free? Mine always had a couple cookie pans full of brass and random gun stuff everywhere, well ever since I have been single again anyway!

I’ll take the A-Square brass PM on the way

Sorry Toby, he lives on through you my friend. Just thankful you had him as long as you did. His pain is over now. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to call.

A rare picture of Pimpin James! Awesome BHP! Those other two, not so much! But who hasn’t made bad decisions while drinking, my life smells like bad decisions and Hoppes no 9

The 41 is my favorite cartridge in a centerfire revolver. The 57/657 are my favorite DA, you got a beauty. Have fun, the cartridge has a lot of potential, great handgun hunting cartridge.

That is to bad, it looked to be a great shoot

I had a R93 and got rid of it for the same reasons! The Walker trigger is not unsafe and I along with many people that are experts on that trigger will also back up, I bought an R8 just to see if they live up to the hype, great shooting rifle, mine failed to feed the second round when three...

Sweet rifle James, if I needed a 10th 375 I’d be your man!

Isn’t the big bore shoot in Western Montana still a thing. That would be a days ride Matt

The 378 wby is the most brutal of anything I have ever pulled the trigger on! Shot a deer in the head once with my buddy’s 378, it was extremely mind blowing!

Now that they are made in America and not the people’s republic of Kalifornia I will buy one, probably that exact model in 257

Every few years I get an itch to buy a bike, I talk myself out of it everytime. Been really thinking about a Indian Chief Darkhorse just to run around on the weekends. I think it would be fun. Anybody know much about them?

They really are a great company, I miss being able to run across town to Briley when I needed something. Thanks for posting this.

I’m also going with Ben Lilly, an amazing man

Go buy a M1 garand and shoot the MilSup ammo, it will be much cheaper in the long run than doing shit like replacing bullets with an unknown charge and unknown powder. Plus you will have a new gun to enjoy

Is that @Glenn Slaven

Making a plan my friend!

I’d have shot him in the face and buried him in the back yard!

Beautiful watch Toby, I fortunately got out of the buying wives high end gifts, houses and 401k’s. Worst investment ever, some guys are just lucky bastards or know how to keep their mouth shut better than me. Watch is priced very fairly!

Well I’m in Alder every weekend, we should catch a cold beer at the long branch sometime guys! Or is it the silver dollar? Lol

Welcome aboard, I am in the Billings area (Laurel) and feel free to let me know if I can help. Most of my advice is bad but I drink beer pretty good! Cheers, Cody

How much trouble is it shipping a barrel from Canada? Probably not as difficult as a complete rifle.

Spent a large portion of my adult life in w. Texas, loved it there and never ran out of tanks to build there. Enjoy you hunt and planning. Save a few extra bucks because there will be something else one of you wants to take!

Welcome aboard! Get to planning, ask plenty of questions, great amount of knowledge here!

Happy Easter all!

I’m just about to start playing with the 40-65 win in a 1875 Sharps. If nothing else it will be fun

I have only used them in 300 H&H and found them to be an amazing bullet. Absolutely pile drove a Roan and sable with them. Shot all the way down to Steenbok and was super impressed

Very cool! I had a warthog done in copper, one of my favorite pieces
