What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end." ...Unknown
I agree !!! don't see anything soooooo ... cant suppose to reply to a post that I cant SEE ... ...
I have read about em ... but never had the privilege of ownership. they are suppose to be as strong as Ruger #1's and ... in my Hornaday book they are listed for the same loads as the Ruger.
seriously tho ... need photo's to drool over!
bigted, I have never learn how to post a picture on here, I really don't care to learn,but I can take a picture of it and E-Mail it, thats the best I can do. Sorry, Sprink
i had one in 7mm rem mag......it shot great ....was just to heavy for me..
I know Elmer tested one in 45/70 back in the 70’s and he was impressed with it!
Yes. I have one that was originally a 300 WM. I had John Taylor rebarrel it with a takeoff Badger BPCR barrel and rechamber it to 40-50 SBN.
Only drawback, is it doesnt have a tang,and I forgot to have John add one so I'm gonna have to attach the back of the tang sight to the wood for now.
The stock doesn't have enough drop and it is hard to shoot close range with a tang sight.
Mine looked just like yours Newtire !!
