Boddington........isn't he the expert that, up until a few short years ago, claimed that anything under .30 cal was inadequate for elk sized game because of the "lack of frontal area" provided by .284 class bullets? I couldn't take him seriously after that, even if he is an "expert". I also have a problem with anyone who files for bankruptcy and screws his creditors while continuing to hunt all over the world. I know that has little to do with caliber/cartridge selection but it says a whole lot about a guy's character.
I was unaware he filed for bankruptcy. When was that?
I am interested in this too. I'd be a bit dissappointed in the guy if this is true.
He does push the heavy hitters, which I disagree with. Maybe I should say I am more jealous of his travels and hunts than anything else...though I don't think I have ever read about one of his adventures being DIY...
July 2013 Chapter 7. It was discussed over here......
At the risk of piling on, I did see a custom rifle he ordered from a custom gun maker in Havre, Montana. It was a takedown, left handed action with high quality engraving and gold inlay. It also had Boddington's name inletted into the rifle with the rank of "General USMC" engraved on it. It was over $25,000.00 worth of rifle and work and Boddington never picked it up. It is hard to sell a highly embellished gun to someone who doesn't have the same name, rank and serial number...
