Is it possible to have it bored out to 577 Nitro?  I might just buy it if that could be done. | |||

Well, I think I can figure out why there are no bids . . . Sarge Holland's .375: One Planet, One Rifle . . . for one hundred years! | |||

 The bid started at the finish price! $200, because the action, and scope rings&bases are all that is usefull! At least he started with a good action, all the rest is crap!....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

I am gonna buy it just to mak Jeffe make a stock on his new machine Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Whoever built that abortion should be gilflurted and stringhaultered, I suspect RIP was the culprit it has that certain something that brings him to mind!!!  Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

Sorry, Ray, I owned a 450 Marlin Guide Gun briefly but quickly realized what an abomination the very cartridge is, since a standard .45/70 is much better in a lever action and can be loaded just as hot. Luckily I was able to swap it and some boot for something better. I may be guilty of several other ugly guns, but not a single thumbhole stock, nor a ballistic inferiority such as the subject gun, ever in my life. Then there is the upcoming .450 NE Ruger No.1 stainless/laminate with a laser sight ... Thanks for making me infamous. | |||

I don't think anyone starts out to build a rifle like that. Just a raid on the parts bin. I honestly think he would get more for it if he parted it out. Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

Gentlemen, The answer why the stock looks like that is simple: Someone was sitting at home one weekend, smoking a spiked dooby and rereading that section in the A-Square book on stocks and stock design. Then after a long weekend of hittin' the pipe...that abomination emerged. Yet more proof that drugs are bad! Jason "Chance favors the prepared mind." | |||

OMYGOD, it's even uglier than the JEN-NEW-WINE A-square Hannibal I seen in the store today, used, with a scabby stock, that I couda had for "Only nineteen hunnert dollars, why it wooda cost ya mor'n thirty one new" Oughta turn this guy in to the Sierra Club and Friends of the Earth and Animals, for wastin' a good piece a wood like that, downright sinfull an scandalous. An outright atrocity! Wayne | |||

I wonder if the the same guy that built that thing has ever thought of building a thumbhole stock for a lever action 45/70  , if he hadn't I think he should..........it would make wonderful conversation.Billy, High in the shoulder (we band of bubbas) | |||
