[for Me It's A Time To Relax. And Hopefuly Harvest Some Good Food! I Just Have A Good Time In General.]

for Me It's A Time To Relax.  And Hopefuly Harvest Some Good Food!  I Just Have A Good Time In General.

looks to me she started out a little scard and then got mad an ignorant, Yep A call would have been best, do she say why she could take the firearms, it's the same here you have to let the law know if your packing or have one in the car,truck, what ever. Ron

SHE NEVER GAVE A RESON WHY SHE COULD TAKE THE GUN. SHE WAS NOT A HAPPY PERSON AT ALL.  PRETTY THOUGH!

[you Are Right Gitano. I Had Made It Inside My Shop, But Left The Door Open As I Knew She Had Just Pulled Up As I Walked Inside. That Was When She Said Is That Rifle Loaded. When I Informed Her Was A Shotgun With No Bolt, She Said For Me To Step Outside. When I Got Outside I Raised My Shirt To Let Her See The Sig-sauer While At The Same Time I Said This Is Loaded.SHE SAID ARE YOU A COP. I Surrenderd The Firearm And She Had A Alwful Time Clearing The Pistol. She Had No Idea What A De-cocking Lever Was. She Was With A Man But He Didnt Say Much At All. After She Ran Everything And I Was Cleared Of Any Wrong Doing She Said Something About Those Hollow Points And A Court Of Law. She Also Said Severl Times I Can Take This Gun, Even After I Was Clear. It Was Things Like That, And Not The Stop Its Self That Made Me Feel She Was "ANTI Ccw HOLDER." Most Police Around Here Are Pro Ccw.{most} I ALSO USED THE TIME TO TRY AND LET HER KNOW THROUGH MY ATTATUDE THAT GUN OWNERS ARE NOT MONSTERS BUT GOOD PEOPLE. I SAID MAM AFTER I ANSWERD HER QUESTIONS. I EVEN WISHED HER A "SAFE NIGHT" BUT SHE WAS MAD SHE COULD NOT "GET" ME ON SOMETHING, I COULD JUST TELL.]

[I Was Walking To My Workshop Next Door To My House Carrying A Shotgun, And Carrying A Pistol In A Holster Straped To My Side Under A Shirt. When All Of A Sudden A Police Car Pulls Up And Demands To Know If That "rifle" Was Loaded. I Said It's A Shotgun And No It's Not Loaded, As I've Got The Bolt Out For Repairs. I Then Said My Pistol Is Loaded, By Law I Must Tell The Officer I'm Packing. She Yelled "are You A Cop" I Said No Mam. I Do Have A CONCEALED Carry License. To Make A Long Story Short She Did Not Like The Fact A Mere Citizen Would Dare Carry A Firearm. She Said Several Times "i Can Take This Gun" I've Never Been In Trouble Before.]

[IF YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN HOW MUCH THAT .600 NE WOULD BE WORTH KNOW, YOU WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A DOZEN! CORRECT?]

Humerous story Elephant...
 
I was building a .375 H&H bolt for myself once and wrote to Rigby (in the 60s) to see if they would sell me an express sight. They kindly sent one and asked me to send them $10 USA. At the same time they offered me a .600 Nitro double for 6000 Pounds. I thanked them kindly and declined as it was hard enough to get ammo for my own double.
 
If you lived in the area I would let you kick me one more time!

[I Own An Underhammer In 4-bore {1.06' Bullet Dia} It Dos'nt Look As Good As The Queen, In Fact My 4 Bore Looks Ugly. I Still Need To Blue The Barrel And Finish The Wood. It Kicks Like A Mule.]

I lusted after the cartridge in a Brevex Magnum Mauser many years ago but eventually ended up with a .416 Rigby Francotte. It just didn't happen. I also owned a .500/.465 Nitro double but it went down the road as well after an injury limited the recoil I could withstand.
 
Back then we used Kynoch brass and bullets (which were very expensive) and imported Berdan primers. The bullets alone were $1.50 a piece and that was ruinous 30 or 40 years ago.

 
                HELLO JAY,  I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE BIG RUGER BOLT ACTION IN 416 RIGBY.  MY .505 GIBBS BOLT GUN IS ON A NEW MAUSER ACTION{APPROX $4000} I HAD TO SAVE FOREVER.  THE RELOADING DIES COST A SMALL FORTUNE.  I USE WOODLEIGH SOLIDS AND SOFT POINTS.  AS FAR AS A DOUBLE RIFLE GOES THEY ARE JUST TOO FAR OUT OF MY PRICE RANGE.  I WOULD LOVE TO OWN A OLD 577 NITRO EXPRESS. THERE IS ONE FOR SALE ON AN AUCTION SITE FOR OVER $150,000 !!
