Right now I have (among other, lesser calibers) a .416 Weatherby Mag and a couple of S&W X-frame 500s (2 3/4 "and 8 3/8" barrels) but am waiting for Ed and Wayne of AHR fame to finish my Granite Mountain action 600 OverKill.

Do I qualify for this most exclusive of clubs?

When you get the 600 OK.

Keith

Keith, you dog

Well, I asked and you answered so I'll just wait patiently. Ed is hoping it will be done by the end of April

.

On a different note

I had a great dinner with Rob Garnick and his wife

. Before we went out, he showed me a few of his non-firearm toys - just incredible - nearly everything a real man could want. Looking forward to seeing the products of the equipment he had delivered and was installing while I was there

. In addition to the great stuff he has, he is pretty close to Nellis and while driving out to him I had the honor and pleasure of seeing some fighters in formation and do some touch and goes.

I can consistently hold minute-of-ground squirrel with my .458 Lott out to 200 yards.

I have also shot a custom .460 Weatherby to check sight regulation for a friend and a .500 NE double to check barrel regulation.

Sorry, it does not.

If it did I would have listed my 1 1/2" bore.

gb458, I have never been in an arms race with anyone, I have just always enjoyed the bigger stuff out there. I really enjoy shooting and collecting, but will admit that I do not do a whole lot of hunting.I will try to get some pics posted before to long of my stuff, if I could send e mail pics to some one to post on this site. Any takers for a little help. thanks ken

Hey y'all, I was watching the Discovery Channel and get this! They're trying to clone the Mammoth!
I'm thinking Woolly Rhino's and Mammoth hunts in Alaska/Yukon!

Sign me up, I snagged a .17hm2 the other day. Does that count?
Wolly mammoths?! My ex mother in law told me they weren't going to clone her, that lying hag!

How about my new turkey shotgun! Its choked to .665! Those damn 3.5 inch 2 1/2oz loads would like to beat me to death LOL

06 April 2008, 00:35

I don't own anything bigger than my 416 and 404 and never get to see any big stuff at our club. Although I did shoot three rounds out of a Johansen 505 Gibb which a guy had borrowed to write an article. I would love to shoot a big double, you guys are lucky.

08 April 2008, 20:32

Bill/Oregon

I guess I can sneak into the club with my Ruger No. 1 in .458 Lott. I also had one a few years back that was a WinMag rechambered to .450 NE. The Greener in .577 3-inch was a BPE, so probably does not meet the minimums here ...

Handgunner: That's a very effective brake on your Encore. Makes your Winnie seem tame compared to the unbraked .375 JDJ I shot.

09 April 2008, 15:06

Tailgunner

I probably don't qualify, as I've owned nothing bigger than a 416 Rigby, and have only shoulder fired 6 rounds through Hubel458's 12gaFH

A factory 378 Wby without a muzzle brake super-qualifies anyone, IMHO.

Can I just be an associat member? I do have a Lott that is great to carrey at 8.65 pounds with scope but aney load over the 550 gr load at about 2100 fps is more than I need.

Bill Cooley,

I think we are agreed that 4500ft/lbs ME and over .400 caliber is the criteria.

You are there!

Come to Montana for the Hoot-n-Shoot II in Helena, Montana in June and see AHR's 700 in action.

Hey Rich,

Loosening up the entry criteria after I get shot down (by another AR member) because I don't yet have my 600 OK and my .416 @ 7,000 lb-ft is a pipsqueak?

I think this must be some sort of conspiracy against short, fat, balding, bearded, middle-aged Brooklyn-born Americans of Italian decent! Anyone else who meet those criteria have this problem???

Well, you WON'T be able to exclude me much longer, my evil friend, the 600 OK arrives on Tuesday ! Bwaahaaahaaaa
