I'll offer him almost $57.00 and some slightly used .308 brass.

My wife caught me looking at the Shiloh site again last night.
She asked the perennial question; "What is so special about those when you have so many other rifles you don't shoot much?"
It took me almost a half hour to talk about just the model I want and the accessories.
She finally said; "I guess it's like me and saddles."
She got it.
She has bought several guns for me over the years, so I think I can get her on board with this without too much trouble.
Wish me luck!

It would work here also,all of the elk I killed have been 150 yds or less. It would also work on a bear hunt I have in November.
But there is this,Winchester Featherweight 7mm Mauser.
Taking this bear hunting.
I'm in the "definitely maybe" category for Quemado, but I think you should bring that. I may need to pull the trigger a couple times to confirm that I really don't need one...
Barbara is a wheelgunner. No riles or shotguns for her.
That said, don't get her mad when she has her Mod 60 and stand in front of her at 100yds and feel safe.

Is that a 401 self-loader? Bring that, and the High Wall with what appears to be irrigation pipe for a barrel.
close, it's a M1907 in .351. Minor problems may be finding a mag for it (I have one, somewhere, but it's packed away). I have some old ammo, but new brass is backordered. I do have dies for it. Need to get some of the Hawk bullets.
The High Wall is a .45-90. It weighs about 7.5 lbs
Love the highwall! But I am a real sucker for classic singel shots.
its better in person Scott, got to see it in Tennessee.....definitely a rifle screwed together by someone that understood what a hunting rifle should be....

.458WM Custom Mauser, .30-40Krag Contender Carbine .45-70 Marlin 1895, FA .45 Colt, and .22lr match Contender Carbine.
You know, the usual.

I'll trade you another 1895 Marlin for that .458 - straight across...you could corner the market!!
I think you, Ken, and Scott have all been smoking the same stuff. That .458 will never be sold or traded.
