This is a bit much, a selection of bullets for the well heeled and Bentley crowd.

I just sent this address to all my hunting partners so that we may maintain a stylish sense of appropriateness on future hunts...
And I thought nickel-plated brass with black coated Winchester bullets was flashy.

And hey, here's one for Jeff Foxworthy: You might be a rednek...if you wait for Remington Cor-lokts to go on sale at Wal-Mart!

friar

If your cigars come in a wooden box, so should ones cartridges.

Good grief!

When at the shot show I talked with a plateing company who for a min 300 dollar order would and could plate casings most any color one wanted.

Gunbearer #1 hands you your custom rifle, gunbearer #2 opens and presents the cartridge box to you, gunbearer #3 holds the bipod and umbrella to keep off the sun or rain !!

Heh,
no worse than these// though weatherby DOES load larger calibes than 404!

Actually, a lot of these cartridge boards etc are highly collectible, and can appreciate more than some quality firearms. Often they are really good investments.

We are not amused.

I like the idea, although I see myself spending a LOT of time looking for my spent brass in the bushes!

George

mete, and gunbearer #4 shovels your remains and places them in an approprate fine finished box.

I wonder what effect gold would have on the barrel? Would it be the same as lube or slow the bullet down?

Good grief,

You might be a redneck if..... you think that is a crazy idea.

What do you mean?

Doesn't everyone use platinum-plated, monogrammed cartridge cases and gold-plated bullets?

Tsk, tsk. Tally ho, chaps!

Which gunbearer provides the drinks with the little umbrella?

In the double rifle section -a posting about a new Blaser R93 double barrel repeater ,just right for the RWS rounds !

If this was the best their R&D team could come up with i feel sorry for them!

Doug,
I have a feeling the R&D team wasn't involved at all in this offering. Looks like it came straight from the marketing department to me.

What is with the el cheapo gold plated bullets?
They should be solid 24K for real pride in ownership.

Reminds me of the guy that told his wife he needed a new rifle each hunting season. He convinced her it was not good to take a used worn rifle out for each new hunting season.

“Each cartridge case is finished with Ruthenium – a high quality platinum metal.â€


Ruthenium is a hard, white metal. It does not tarnish at room temperatures, but oxidises in air at about 800°C. The metal is not attacked by hot or cold acids or aqua regia, but when potassium chlorate is added to the solution, it oxidises explosively.

Interesting, oxidizes explosively, eh?

So Stryker60, the bottom line would be these carts are friggin' expensive!!
Is this a safe assumption? My German is nil, and a German friend laughed (actually more akin to a deep, roaring, belly howling fit of laughter) at the mention of phoning RWS to find out how much.

I hope that you're right.

ostentatious perhaps, gaudy probably, tacky...for certain. Pardon me, do any of you chaps have any Grey Poupon?

Rich

Pretentious...Yes

Expensive....Yes


But its kind'a Cool!!....In a sick kind'a way

Seeing the ammo laid out in a case like that made me think of this guy.
