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.

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.


No good deed goes unpunished.

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.)
