Ok rich guys

[GunGuy34]

Thanks to some very generous friends . . .

C-FBMI's .470 in full song . . .


A moment before, or a moment after, I don't recall which . . .


Leopard track with a .500 NE cartridge for scale . . .


John Wilkes .500 NE owned by Mark Sullivan . . .


Mark Sullivan with his Chas. Osborne .577 NE, me with the .500 . . .


Notice the elephants across the sand river . . .


Okay, lets go over it again . . .


Has anyone seen a buffalo around here . . .


The business end of a .577 looks suspiciously like a 20 ga . . .


A .510/570 gr X bullet recovered from my buff, a .375/270 gr XLC for comparison . . .

I can see how ya got the name boomer.

Ok I own a 470 double but that is as rich as it gets................unless you want to consider my 80 or so collector Winchesters...............

Beautiful gun. Was it off the shelf sorta speak or measured and built for you if you don't mind my asking?

Reloading?

Reloading?

No, photography...of C-FMBI reloading. This is a picture of his 9.3x.300 WM after he hit 3700fps with a 286gr Partition.

SB, It is just a piece of cloth my wife bought me to line the bottom of my new gun cabinets in my new vault............








Like so..........

Reminds me of my grandfathers walls. He had over 250 pieces in his collection when he passed. Very nice.

Well played good Sir!

 

[Superbrad]

Super tricked out 10/22 I bought thinking I was going to shoot rimfire silhouette again..........never happened, you want it?

Lol... I bet its a tack driver what do you want for it?.... it looks absolutely insane..... I may have a spot for it since I don't have the mandatory "one crazy gun" yet.... lol.... likely beyond my budget.....

7th from the left.... 700 mountain rifle?.....

 

[kamlooky]

Haaaaaaaaaay, if'n yer giv'n ker-pows away, 22 K-Hornet......Ruger or
maybe even a Brno would dew.

SB....Very little in my rack is as it would appear..............rifle in question is an old 700 BDL in 243 and is my main go to rifle for wolves etc, it has been transported into a CDL stock.............and I believe it wears a Vari X III 3.5-10.....it is a replacement for my old 243 Ruger RSI which I shot out over 12 or 15 years and the Ruger replaced my original 700 BDL in 243 which I shot out the previous 15 or so years. It'll keep 4 shots right around 1/2" when I'm having a good day, using 80 gn bulk Win bullets and IMR 4350. It's my small bore pet........

Nice.... short barrel and stock made it look like a mountain rifle....

Second thoughts on the 10/22?.... lol... that thing is screaming for a drum mag....

 

[c-fbmi]

'Looky, G-I-V-E............now count them letters.........four right? Therefore give is a four letter word and not to be used in my vocabulary............besides don't have a K-hornet in any rifle.

Got a couple 25 rd banana mags but no drums..........no second thoughts, just not in a position to follow through right now being 2000 miles from my babies...........I have no use for it and would gladly part with it, it really is a sweet shooting rifle, just not my thing, I like my 9422 Mag and my Henry 22 lever and my 2 T-bolts (extreme right hand) shoot one hole groups.........well OK the 17 doesn't, but I have to spend some more time with it and a variety of ammo.

It's got a full Volquartsen trigger group as well .........

I have a couple other 10/22s and a couple Rem Mohawks and Apache........think I got the semi auto scene covered.

 

[Superbrad]

Lol.... why give away what you can put towards your next purchase?... lol.... that thing must have some serious money tied up in it..... barrel alone....

 

[Gunslinger]

I imagine the sale went something like:

"Which one would you like sir?"

"All of them....."
