Mark Sullivan & the .45-70, your feelings?

You know this site can be so argumentative, sometimes just down right unfriendly.

I thought I'd lighten it up a bit with a subject we can all agree on.

How do you guys feel about Mark Sullivan shooting a P.F. M-700 in .45-70 with a 1 in 18 twist while writing flowery poetry about Ray Atkinson?

I'm gonna' need some clarification here - is Mark writing the poetry or am I?

Secondly, is the .45-70 blued or stainless? Wood or synthetic? Braked or not? How long is the barrel? Which load?

Finally, is there any chance the .45-70 is sticking up his rear end when he pulls the trigger?

This is all in fun, y'understand. Never met the man nor watched any of his videos.

No!!!

Will is writing the poetry, The rifle has a 1 in 28 twist and it is the best DG rifle caliber ever built. Don't you know anything. Stainless is only used in sub standard rifles . Never in a fine M-700 PF lever gun. Geesssh..

And don't argue with me I've killed more men than any other buffalo ALIVE in America today.

TRY and pay attention next time!

Is Ray promising the hunt will be "true free range" and the "best he can find"?!!!

Of course the 45-70 load would have to be the infamous Garrett Hammerhead......LOL!

This rifle is a PF Lever Rem 700 in case color hardened retro fiber. Stalked with wood that was dredged up from the Titanic. It is the finest rifle I've ever built. It shoots negative 1/4" groups at 25'. It handles carries and feeds smoother than a well oiled seal butt.

I love it I spent thousands of hours lovingly building it and have killed 28 buff with last season.

I love it so much that I'd never consider getting rid of it!

If you are interested in buying this rifle drop me a line.

I assume that it's a high-fence lion hunt in South Africa?

If Carmello would crawl out from under his rock and agree to be the tracker or buffalo bait, it sounds like a dream hunt in the making.
