Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR Just got "The Call"

I just got off the phone with Bill Goodman. He picked up my rifle at Shiloh this afternoon and will ship it out to me tomorrow!

I'm more excited than a five year old on Christmas eve!

I'm gonna park my butt in the LGS on the day it is supposed to get there.
I went to Sharpsguy's house a short while back and he assembled some magic ammo for it, so I have something to break it in with.

Man, oh man, this next few days are gonna DRAG by!

tick tock tick tock....










(mine is supposed to ship sometime soon...)

Give us some pictures when it arrives.

Patrick.
I'm usually a pretty patient guy, but this next few days are going to feel like years.

Mike. I will most certainly post pictures. It didn't help my anticipation for Bill to tell me I had a gorgeous rifle on the way.

Ed

SUFFER peasant!!! Pics WILL be required!!

It's all your fault, Jim! Well, yours, sharpsguy's, and Crossfireoops. Between your phone calls and them letting me shoot their Sharps, I was a goner.

I'll try to remember to take pictures. I might be too busy shooting it...

Ed

VELKOMM to der Darkside!!

He won't be busy shooting it very long. He'll go through those 40 rounds before he knows it. It's like eating potato chips--you can't eat just one..

Meanwhile I sit waiting for a '77...

What are the specs on the 77 you have ordered?

Ed

I do have a picture of a 77



(sorry for the cell phone photo)

Back in Feb of 10 Shiloh had a rd /bull barrel run,I put my deposit down on a Business rifle with some add ons on March 1, in early Sept some guys I knew who had also ordered rd barrel guns were getting theirs. I called mid month and they said it had gone into final inspection that day.They said they would call when it was ready. I packed a bag and went to the bank for extra cash that afternoon. I told my boss I needed a short notice time off when I got an anticipated call just didn't know when it would be later in the week. At a little after 9am on Thurs day morning I walked out the backdoor at work and called Shiloh, the gal who answered it said she was just walking to the phone to call me. the call ESP? I walked back in told my boss I had gotten my call I was leaving then and 2 minutes later going down I-90 west towards Big Timber,MT 483 miles and 7hrs 10 minutes later after,2 gas stops, the Mac D's drive up at Billings I pulled into the park lot at Shiloh in Big Timber.No carbon left in the Toyota's engine that day , I pulled them grades across Wyo. that day at 70+ and down the other side damn near 3 figures. Well we did the paper work shook hands. I stayed at a motel in town and had a great barby rib meal down town as well as a few beers back at the motel,hard to put the gun down. Next morning went over to the Forest Circus office and asked for advice on where the locals used public land to shoot and 15 minutes later was making smoke. Yeah I had 60 rds loaded to go with me and a cleaning kit. I waited 30 years for my first ordered out by me Shiloh 74, waiting 3 more days for the UPS turds to get it to me in 1 piece would have given me a stroke.You should have grabbed the old lady for a relief driver and been half way there by now.

This will always hang over my loading bench..

GOOD thing the REALLY funny part ain't showed!!

OOOOO..that hurts!But you managed to catch that smoke plume which seemed endless down that bean field.

I wuzn't meant to wear those sunglasses anyways The interesting stare and the drooling I saw sorta summed up whether ya liked it or not

It was an earthquake I tell you...
