And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I once met a fellow who had a sideline business that involved hand-engraved shotguns from a very old-school, Italian craftsman. The prices for these shotguns started around six figures and went up.
He said that once a deposit was made, the buyer would get delivery in 2 years. He said, however, that if the buyer was willing to pay twice the price, the Italian engraver would be willing to deliver the shotgun in 24 months.
577 Nitro Express. Hard to find ammo. On the other hand you'll never need a whole lot of it. Typically a box or two outlives the original owner. I think Jeff Cooper said they loaded 300 rounds for his .460 G&A Special "Baby". About half of it was left when they put the rifle in a museum.
Chamber thickness is way too much for a scattergun. I shoot .458WINMAG and 7mmWBYMAG. If you do not load your own, you better have a second job to buy ammo.
Over here it would be his and his again.

ReplyDeleteThanks! I thought those were shotguns and were wondering about the 50 yd sights!

ReplyDeleteElephant guns.
ReplyDeleteIf “her” is shooting a .577 NE, I’m not sure I’m interested...
ReplyDeleteI like strong women, but not STRONG women...
His, and His Backup.
ReplyDeleteHers would be something in the .375 range.
