When I saw PA, I had a glimmer of hope, but you are almost to NJ.

Long way from Cincinnati!

Have fun,

Don,

We have quite a few, but I don't think there's anything in the Northern Panhandle that would suit your needs

What type of targets do you use at range for elephant guns. I wish to purchase targets (life size or reduced - in case of elephant and large animals) of African Big Five that have kill zones on them. I have Win 458 Mag in Model 70 and 458 Lott in CZ 550. Thank you for any assistance. I live in New Jersey and belong to gun club with 100 yard range.

Mike:

Just called my old man. He said you two chatted this morning.

He'll be there, and bringing the big bitch! Watch him shoot it; it's pretty funny!

Anyone wants to shoot a .577 NE double rifle, Staurday will be the day to give that mean lady a ride!

Can't arrainge it this fall, too many irons in the fire already but if ya'll are interested I have access to range facilities in western Maryland at the intersection of I-81 & I-70. We only have 13 miles between PA & WV!

Within a couple hours of the whole mid-Atlantic region & not too far removed from the Ohio valley. Too early to plan but keep it in mind.
cheers

It's only 135 miles for me. I wish I knew about it sooner I would have loved to go. I need to practice more with my 470.

Mike, make sure you also bring the side of a barn. That's about the only thing Doc52 can hit with the .577 sofa

If you can organize a shoot in the western end of Pa this spring I've got a 470NE, 416 rigby, a 375 WBY, and a couple of 375 H&H's that I can bring. The 470 and one of the 375 H&H's are doubles.

I've got an M70 in 416 Rem - not very sexy in this crowd.

I have never shot a double, but I'd love to risk getting the disease!

Don,
I'm in the not-so-sexy crowd with ya -- Bolt action .416 Rigby by CZ. I did, however, shoulder a Merkel .470 NE at BassPro and that was one sexy beast. I haven't fired one yet and fear I'll like it...

Is the 450 No 2 that is for sale going to be available for review?

(Note: Due to distance, I cannot consider going. This is just a question.)
