I came, I shot, I conquered...
Spent Tuesday the 22nd afternoon at Big Doggy 700's house admiring his big boy toy collection. After a suitable amount of drool, we drove out to his family range and I shot his Searcy 700H&H, and a few moments later, the Owens Four Bore Double Rifles!! I did feel the earth move a little, but recoil was surprisingly less than anticipated. My wife thinks the two 4-bore empties would make a great set of Salt & Pepper shakers.

Hope to see you all next Friday for dinner.

Seriously, Rich, very cool and I am jealous!

Have fun next week - wish I were there.

Stay well,
Paul

Rich, I have not heard of ANY deaths or anyone being maomed from, shooting the above rounds. Sounds like fun to me.

Keith

good to hear rich!
I'll be dropping mine in my pocket ..

I can attest to Rich doing a fine job with both calibers. Both guns along with a few others will be at the Texas shoot for those that feel the need to shoot them. see you all there.

BigDog,

I have 4 $50.00 bills with your name on them. One each for a 4 Bore, 700 Nitro, 700 AHR, and 600 OK. Looking forward to next weekend!

Thanks Drew, I will be there.

Sounds like alot of fun makes me wish I lived out west.

LOL... we live in EAST texas... closer to you than west texas!

After getting over the psychological impact of picking up a 4 bore ctg and actually firing one, I was very suprised! All that weight absorbed the kick. Too bad the 700 H&H didn't weigh more it might have been enjoyable. I also now know why there are gun bearers. Don't think I could carry a 4 bore all day and be able to hold it up to shoot it too!

Perhaps it is time to find a double 22 Hornet and load it with armour piercing bullets using unobtainable nuclear powders and primers.

Given a choice I would gladly shoot a 4 bore again!!

Rich, maybe you can make the next Hoot & Shoot in Texas. We had a BLAST!

I am already ratholing cash for February. It's a tough time of year, SHOT Show in Vegas, SCI in Reno, and the H-n-S in Houston in a five week period.
