Shrapnel,

In the top pic with the four rifles, I REALLY like the second from the top!

Would you mind sharing the specifics of that beauty?

That is one great group of rifles Shrapnel. Friggin wonderful to see those.

Is that an Angus laying there?

Hers mine 338 AX (Lapua Mag Imp)

I'm just in awe!!! Out-freaking-standing!!

Pedersoli .40-65

Seven Heaven,

That AH is a beauty! Love the no sights with Alexander-Henry set up.

Some shots of my RSI 7x57.

Now that is a beautiful piece of wood on that No.1!!

I thought I'd add one of my beauties. I think I must qualify as one of Mule Deer's "rifle loonies".

This is a #1 re-barreled by Todd Lockburner (gunsmith in Monument Colorado). It's a half octagon, half round chambered in 40-82 WCF and is a .406 bore. Todd modified the Ruger scope rib since the half octagon would not use the standard rib and blued the barrel and scope rib. He did an outstanding job. I mounted a Nikon scope.

I use Starline 45-90 brass reformed by Redding form/trim die and Redding 40-82 dies. The slugs are either Hawk 270 or 300 gr, or DKT 260 gr. and Federal 210 primers. I won't give the powder load but with the #1 action strength, it isn't the black powder load velocity. It measures around 2400 fps. This elk was shot with the DKT's and they make a 5 shot ragged hole at 100 yds. The elk was shot at 176 yds by range finder measure. Apologize for the blood. The backstraps had been taken out when the camera was available. She was quartered out as the only altenative was to get out the knife and fork.

The shot was taken from bi-pod rest across a small cut where she was quartering away to my left. The shot entered back of her left (away) ribs and exited at the right chest in the crease of the right foreleg. The heart and lungs were liquified with the entry a nice round 40 caliber and the exit hole was between a quarter and half dollar in size. She dropped at the shot and never moved.







btw, since it was "unusual" I bought the chamber cutter and it is available for any other loonie to "rent". It has been used but once.

Thanks for all the nice photos guys. It's a lot of fun looking at so many beautiful rifles so easily.

Damn near skinned her!!

This one is at my LGS and a very unique rifle by Bailey Bradshaw,a break action in 7x57R. He did ALL the work!

Very nice rifle. But if it was mine, it would either lose that scope or at least get something that is more in tune with that sort of rifle.

Amazing that one person has that many artistic talents at that level. Quite the piece!

One more...

Rifle,

Quite the rifle. Love the caliber. I won't ask what it cost to have made for fear your wife might see the post.

In a more bountiful time......


Some more nice butts, taken on my F-150 blanket.

Forearm on a red pad Tropical.

Nice rifles!!!

Mr Bradshw built this as his first single shot and did everything,including engraving. He's out of Texas and seems to really have a talent.This one is foe sale at my LGS for 11K...
I think at one time it had a German scope,however the current owner had some eye problems and wanted the 6x42 that's mounted. I have handled it a couple of times,very well done

Time for a couple of more nice butts.

First a Lion.



Then a nice 7x57 red pad "A"

And a black pad 7x57 with outstanding wood.

You just won't find a black pad No.1 with wood much better than this 7x57!
