You gonna kill something with that, or just stand there and whistle dixie?

To steal a line from Josey Wales (and twist it a bit!).

That's a lot of shooting iron there. What you plan to do with it?

Wow - 21 years ago!

I imagine you got an exit - even on that big old bull!

Read an article a while back written about 416 caliber rifles by Craig Boddington. As he compared different chamberings he purposely left out the Weatherby, saying that rifle is in a class of it's own......
Awesome weapon
