boom stickCan you get BB to mass produce the actions? It is too cool of a design to have so few in the wild.

customboltAwesome wood. Wow!
Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.

BiebsBack when Adam and Clay owned Luxus Walnut, they selected that blank from their private collection. It was listed at $4,000, but they cut me a deal for half-price. I do love my Marblecake :-)

Omnivorous_BobThat is an amazing stock. The rest of the rifle is pretty cool too!
I can't wait to see some animals with it. When will you go hunt with it?
Cheers,
Bob

20 November 2019, 08:02

jerry mcdonaldDAMN!
Ele at 5 yards to plains game at 200, You have it nicely covered Sir.
22 November 2019, 04:44
BiebsJerry, I can handle the 5 yards.....200, not so sure. I do have a video of Bailey shooting a silhouette pig at 237 yards with the gun, though.
22 November 2019, 18:37
SnowwolfeBiebs, You gotta kill something with that beauty. Maybe book a bison hunt? Stunning example of a gunmakers talents.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

LOL, damn right, you can do it too, learn the sights, using a good set of sticks, lean left shoulder and upper back into a tree or PH's shoulder standing braced into your back 90 degrees off, you'll be rock steady for the shot.

Gale JohnsonDamn Biebs, I have been drooling over that thing on his website and now I find out it went to NJ, LOL
I will be laying awake at night, checking the classified on here for an almost new Bradshaw rifle for the rest of my life now!!
Congrats on a fine piece

skl1It's beautiful Biebs! Thanks for posting pics.

The NorwegianHi Jon.
Congrats on a beautyful rifle. How does it shoot ?
Morten
The more I know, the less I wonder !
02 December 2019, 18:56
BiebsMorten, it needs a couple tweaks to the action and it'll be ready to go.
03 December 2019, 00:51
carpediem4570Would love to see some of video of this gun in action. Loading, shooting, ejection, reloading and so on.
Kind regards,
Carpediem
No politician who supports gun control should recieve armed protection paid for by those he is trying to disarm.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways-scotch in one hand-Chocolate in the other-body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!"

Pretty cool how that action works.
08 December 2019, 19:39
Canuck32I have a question about when the gun is closed, is the top part of the shell case head still exposed?
I’m referring to the picture that’s 4th up from bottom on first post.
08 December 2019, 19:55
BiebsNo, the bases disappear when the action is closed.

MacD37Bradshaw is a genius IMO! That is a beautiful rifle, and certainly a break from the rest of the double rifles made here to fore! It is not only well designed, but well appointed in wood, and engraving. The only thing on that rifle that I dislike is the swing safety. I much prefer the slide safety, but if I could afford that rifle I wouldn't turn it down simply because I didn't like the safety.
…...…….........…...……...Great and beautiful rifle!

packrattusnongratusA marvelous piece of work for even a Blaser shooter. Be Well, Packy.
10 December 2019, 06:46
BiebsNot a Blaser, for sure.

Glad you did, why not bring it to DSC and show it off. And, if you have time I’ll try to set you up to shoot a couple of pigs with it?
Karl Evans
10 December 2019, 07:29
BiebsKarl, are they 500NE pigs or 450-400 pigs? :-)
10 December 2019, 07:55
K EvansWhy...both, we have .22 lr pigs and .600 nitro pigs, shoot ‘em with whatever you have, just shoot ‘em. Honestly, most are 100 - 150 pounds. I’ve shot them with everything from .17 Rem to .505 Gibbs, they all work just fine.
