lets see your thick bush guns!

That's a beauty. Who put the sights on if you don't mind sharing? Also, how's the noise compared to the regular length barrel? I'm interested in doing the same for my Montana 338 WM.

I have a run of the mill Marlin 1895, but I've just had this one built for me.
Primarily for guiding work, but with a scope it doubles for a handy moose/elk/grizz gun.
Kimber Montana in .338WM with the barrel cut to 20" and NECG masterpiece sights. 6.5lbs unloaded without having the scope on it. 7.6lbs scoped up. Shoots 225gr Barnes TTSX under 1" when I do my part.
The scope is a vx-3 2.5-8x36 on low Leupold mounts.

Corlanes did the work, and a pretty quick turnover too. Have yet to shoot it without muffs on, so I can't really say. But I've had a few people at the range ask what I'm shooting after they hear it so I suppose it's loud enough. I was mainly concerned with the recoil with it being so light but it's honestly not bad. I shattered my shoulder at the end of August, and I'm not a recoil lover but I can sit through a dozen shots off the bench without issue.
 
Thanks for the reply. I've sent them an email to figure out cost. I just have to decide on the barrel length and buy the sights. The montana stock is a great design. I have the same stock on my Talkeetna and the recoil is quiet manageable.

Not as nice as literally all the other cool stuff in this thread, and not all that fun to shoot, but probably the cheapest! .35 Whelan in a 5 lbs 10 oz H&R. $300 plus some old remy ramp sights.

Talkeetna is the gun I wanted, but I'm quite happy with this "mini" version.

That sling and cover is beautiful. Mind if I ask where ya picked it up? And how bad it hurt your credit card? I have the same SBL.

KuddlyGemini (in onterio but will ship) on here makes them, I can't post the price, all her prices are custom one offs, this is believe it or not pressed cow leather in Croc print with about 4 layers of leather dye to get this look. The prices are no where near what you would think it would cost. Shoot her a pm with an idea and she will give you a quote right away. She also will do custome tooled ones as well with names and logos.

I think the survivor in 308 would make a good brush gun; different strokes I guess. 500 looks good, wood is much nicer than expected. Was brand new; I installed a scratch while removing the zip tie.

Will likely never sell this one anyways; too cool. Maybe when it is worth a couple grand to some lunatic. Going to bring out the .338 for black bear but the 500 S&W will be on hand and might get a few days hunting.

Carverk; I was looking at the SSK website and they will make you a 50 Alaskan that looks like a cannon; who needs a 45/70?

SSK website ?
A short barrel 50 Alaskan for T/C ProHunter would be intersting
