I just found the series, but it's 9 episodes into the first season.
"Hollywood Guns" Outdoor Channel on Saturday.
Looks like a cool series, this week they have Tom Selleck on talking about Quigley Down Under.
Just an FYI

Made a mistake, "Hollywood Weapons". In the preview the host says to Selleck, "you know in the sniper's world, when they get two guys with one shot, they call it a Quigley"". Selleck seemed to enjoy that!

Actually only saw the movie about a month ago on Amazon Video. Glad I watched it, actually pretty good.

I'm not sure why Selleck didn't step up and take Charlton Hestons place with the NRA. Busy I guess.

Tom Selleck is very busy right now with Blue Bloods. And did anyone ask him to run for our presidency?

It's too bad that Alan Rickman died. He was a great actor. He could do one of the best bad guys I've ever seen.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Causes me great consternation that my wife disagrees................

If you are ever near Big Timber, Montana, you need to stop at the gun manufacturer, " Shiloh Sharps" that made the gun he used in the show "Quigley Down Under". Small shop but some kind of Sharps rifles and they will even build you one just like his but they will not tell you if he actually made those shots or how they were made. They have some beautiful guns that you can even handle. Very small town so no problem to find the shop.

They actually made 3 identical guns for the movie, with the exception that the one used in the fight/action scenes had an aluminum barrel. I remember that the NRA had one of the other 2 as the grand prize in a sweepstakes several years ago. I forget how many times I entered, but no luck for me..............  Also, Shiloh will make you an exact copy of the movie rifle with the exception of the gold enlayed initials "MQ".

The shots in the movie are doable, not extra ordinarily difficult for someone that has a good sharps. You have to have good ammunition and know how to use the rifle. They just duplicated the shots on TV, but couldn't hit the bucket off hand, but they did hit it repeatedly from a rest. When you watch BPCR competitors in a tie breaker shooting AND HITTING turkey and ram silhouettes OFFHAND, you know the movie shots are not something impossible. I probably know a dozen guys that can make those shots.

Yeah.
Watching it now. I noticed when he pulled the rifle out of it's case to prove his marksmanship, he checked the chamber and he doesn't carry with hot chamber apparently. Nice to see something authentic out of Hollywood for a change.
