As I understand it, a few years ago, I thought PETA was on board with killing the wild pigs because they invade the sea turtle nesting grounds on the Georgia coast. Either way, I’m going to vote for this Cat not only because Peta is against him, but because he’s really Effing good!

I have what I believe to be a Brown Precision stock at home. I also have a take off stainless barrel in 222 Rem. Pm me a phone number or email address and I will send pics if you want me too. I won’t be home until early evening though.

Does it function as a repeater with the 410 barrel? Also, how hard is to switch barrels. How accurate is the rifle barrel?

I have one from a .500. I will dig it out and take pics for you. PM me your email address and I will send it them to you.

I’ll take it

Not for sale anymore. It's mine now. I often sit with it and a fine Bourbon and try to conjure from it the stories it so blatantly refuses to tell. So, alas, I am forced to make them up to satisfy my daydreams of what must have been.

It is a very good thing you saw that rifle first! Otherwise it would be you sitting and lamenting the fact that you didn’t check yesterday often enough! I as well would not have even blinked at the price.

I have been guiding hog hunts in Southwest Georgia for 15 years now. Probably killed somewhere in the neighborhood of about 8000+ Pigs. My customers keep everything but the boars and the pigs that are too shot up. In that length of time not one person has ever gotten sick From the meat. It must...

If I remember correctly, swift A-frames, use a pure copper jacket. Also, the bearing surface may be considerably longer than the bullets. The Hodgdon manual was using. This would cause a lot higher pressure than with gilding metal jackets, and or shorter bearing surfaces.

Who made the leather cheek rest?

I’ll add my name to the list of people that went to Africa because when they were 12 years old read, “death in the long grass”. By far, the best storyteller about African hunting that I have ever read. I don’t give two rats ass if he was somewhat of a phony as a PH, but he made me want to go to...

Don’t wast your money on anything atn. I would look at the pulsar talion xq 50. I’m a hog hunting guide and that is the only brand I use at the moment. To say that my scopes get used more than normal is a Giant understatement. It’s almost as difficult to find a scope without bells and whistles...

I’ve shot this before. Quite lovely!

A friend of mine has a McNaughton double in 303. Unique in the fact that the barrels are not welded together from the end of the rear sight to the end of the barrels. He also has a Rigby rising bite and a Holland royal. A pretty nice collection of 303’s to say the least!
