Scoped... - 24hourcampfire

The .450 Howell now has a Leupold 2.5x scope with Warne rings mounted on it.

Makes it the perfect work truck rig IMO....Laffin!

My truck gun is a 6.5 Creed by comparison. If my testis drop one day. I’m gonna get me a serious big bore to roll with.

Elk, you are da man. 😎

A semi-truck maybe but not a farm truck.

The bunny rabbits are in trouble now!

That thing is begging for a buffalo.

Yes,it is!

Damn! read the thread title and thought you may be sporting a capitol 'C' on your fore head Elk, glad to read you 'scoped' a rifle instead.

What reticle does the scope have? Got one with the heavy plex on my 9.3x62 M98.

The standard Leupold duplex.

Just wondering. THANKS

Oh,NICE rabbit rifle by the way. lol

Thank EZ!

I got two of them scopes, but no .450 Howell. -sniff-

No .450 Howell?

I hear ya.

You thought Elk may be wearing a "Weatherby trademark", a semicircular forehead scar.

Only time I came close was with a Marlin 45-70, a Redfield Widefield mounted too far back. That was when I was young, full of wizz and vinegar, thinking I had to push 400 gr. bullets at max speed. Had to get my good bud to put in a few sutures.

That was the only time, including .458 WM, .404 Jeffery, etc.

Oh well, live and learn. Some of us have to learn the hard way...

But I haven't forgotten that incident...

I have gotten a "Weatherby trademark" just not from a Weatherby rifle. It was a .338 Win and it had a Tasco scope mounted and it belted me right between the eyes! To say the least I have not used a Tasco scope ever since.

LOL, yessir on all counts, I got my one and only from one of those light weight knight inlines back in the day, had it loaded to the gills, was sitting on a rock leaning over peering at a nice eight point through the brush, BOOM! pop, chit that hurt.

buck ran a semi circle and piled up, drug him off the mountain with one eye closed from the dried blood booger ; ]

At least you had meat in the freezer...

Battle scars...

Doubt that's your only one...

LOL, and yessir, I've plenty, that buck is up on the wall, he was a massive 20" 8pt, it was back in the day when we had to take them to a local check station, that pig weighed 189lbs dressed, thank God I was pulling him DOWN the mountain ; ]

Affectionately known as Weatherby Eyebrow up here, and yes I have enjoyed a couple over the past 50+ years.
