Hello matt salm, Thanks for the reply. I've shot my other two - a lot. I haven't shot this one yet. Just got it. No videos.
Hello Hogbreath, Thanks for the reply. Not really, I just like the big ones. This goes well with my 700NE.
Hello Buglemintoday, Thanks for the reply. I only collect the original A-Square 577 T-Rex rifles. " .... you never pay too much for something, you only buy it too early .... " How to Hunt Wisconsin Whitetail Deer with a Cannon How to Hunt Feral Cats with a Mortar | |||

Looks like a fat sow pregnant with twins. But that's an A-Square made rifle for you. Have fun with it! Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

If I had one I would certainly sell it. No thanks. :-). Man, I am not recoil sensitive but think I would pass on that. Has anyone ever seen one restocked into a synthetic? | |||

I actually think that one looks good compared to some ive seen. How many did A-Square build? Congrats on the new acquisition. | |||

I don’t know how many T-Rexs A-Square made but I’ll bet Buckstix owns a good percentage of them! Shoot the largest caliber you can shoot well, and practice, practice, practice. | |||

Is that anything like my 20 Vartarg? LOL Holy man, you must be a tougher dude than me. My old frail bones would be broken! Zeke | |||

Nice looking '17 Enfield. Goes to show what a great action will handle. What's it weigh? and which brand is it? Looks like the inletting at the trigger guard is way too deep. You've got some work fixing that. Let's see all three side by side now. George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!" LM: NRA, DAV, George L. Dwight | |||

Hello DLS, Thanks for the reply. I just like shooting a gun that lets you know its been shot!
Hello RR 314, Thanks for the reply. You get used to the recoil. Its a 2-step gun.
Hello Johnny reb, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I think it looks good also. According to Art A. they made about 12.
Hello Wildcatter, Thanks for the reply. That means I've owned about 25% of the production.
Hello ZekeShikar, Thanks for the reply. I'm actually pretty old, but the recoil hasn't, hasn't hasn't hasn't hasn't, affected me one, one, one, one, bit.
Hello georgeld, Thanks for the reply. They all 3 weigh around 15-1/2 pounds loaded. All T-Rex rifles have 3 mercury recoil reducers built in. The one with the scope weighs about 3/4 pound more. The first and third are Winchester actions. The first has iron sights only. It has the "Appearance Package" with upgraded wood, ebony forend tip, and high gloss blue.. The second has iron sights and scout rifle scope mounting. It also has upgraded wood, but mat-blue finish. The third has iron sights with standard scope mounting, mat-blue finish, and standard wood.

Very nice. I friend of mine has one. It seems he gets far greater joy watching others shoot it then shooting it himself. | |||

Hello p dog shooter, Thanks for the reply. I enjoy both - shooting, and watching others shooting.  " .... you never pay too much for something, you only buy it too early .... " How to Hunt Wisconsin Whitetail Deer with a Cannon How to Hunt Feral Cats with a Mortar | |||

By far the catchiest name of any cartridge out there. .577 Tyrannosaur. What loads do you normally shoot out of them? | |||
|
| One of Us |
Hello AXEL19, Thanks for the reply. The only other cartridge name that even comes close to having a catchy name, is a wildcat cartridge called the ... ".22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer".  As for my T-Rex loads, I typically shoot 750g bullets at 2000fps for a fun load. With the heavy weight of the 577 T-Rex rifle, with its 3 recoil reducers, that load is really a lot of fun, with very moderate recoil.

Beautiful rifles but I think I'd rather be eaten by a T-Rex than pull the trigger on one of those. You are a better man than me. Hot loaded 45-70 rounds from my Ruger #1 is probably the max I can take. Start young, hunt hard, and enjoy God's bounty. | |||

Thank you for the pictures of all three as requested. Fine looking rifles, beautiful wood. Tame recoil?? Yeah sure from watching Saeed's "Victims"!

Owner fired three rounds then sold it....yeah I get it ------------------------------ A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!" | |||

Buckstix, this is amazing!  To have one of these is a treat, two is an accomplishment, and three of them is almost too hard to believe. These are amazing rifles and rare indeed. Congratulations on locating all these. You know, at a certain point people will accuse you of "hoarding" 577 T-Rex's! (Not really a thing.) _____________________________________________________ No safe queens! | |||

Any idea how many of these were made by A-Square? I'd have to think you have a high percentage of the total at this point. Neat collection. Thanks for sharing them. Jeremy | |||

Hello richj, Thanks for the reply. Velo = Velosipod = bicycle Dog = Dog For killing stray dogs that chase you when riding a bicycle.
Hello Biggs300, Thanks for the reply. Moderate loads kick about the same as a Hot loaded light-weight 45-70.
Hello georgeld, Thanks for the reply. Those shooting Saeed's rifle wern't expecting the HOT loads in a non-typical light-weight T-Rex.
Hello Bakes, Thanks for the reply. You got it .. !
Hello Clayman, Thanks for the reply. My wife says I'm a hoarder - I tell here there are no dead cats and newspapers in my hoard.
Hello farbedo, Thanks for the reply. Art told me less than 2 dozen made, and only about 10-12 stayed here in the U.S. More went to PHs in Africa. . .
