If you can top this, I'll buy you a new hat! If I were really rich, Just to see what would happen, I'd love to show up at a safari camp and pull out this rifle, put on a pith helmet and ask where the elephants were! I imagine that the charter would be called back in mid-return flight to take my butt home! Double click at your own risk.



WTF Picture.. warning, viewing my upset stomach!

It has been posted before as the Whitworth with chicken pox, or something like that. The price seems kind of high for a barreled action with no sights.

Sorry to repeat such a horror, but I imagine that someone thought they had made their rifle "pretty". It kind of reminds me of the folks who are sadly mistaken as to their singing talent and try compete on "American Idol". I think the shop that is selling it doesn't think much of the rifle 'cause they didn't even try to secure the scope caps. Half--heartedly selling it on consignment for a "regular", perhaps?

Sheds a very different light on the word "custom rifle" IMHO.

I sent a nice message to the seller suggesting that they part it out, sent a link to a nice one that sold here in un-modified condition for 900. I suggested that if parting it out didn't sound good they put an inexpensive stock from Midway on it.

I bet I get all kinds of flak from the seller. at least I was polite and didn't once make fun of that stock. Whoever built the gun to begin with should have their eyes cleaned with comet cleanser.

Me thinks we should all chip in and buy that rifle.

Once a year we can send it to a "deserving" member. At the end of each year it can be transferred to next contender for most "deserving" member.

I saw a quilted maple stock made by Harry Lawson once..,one of those rollover montecarlo thumbhole stocks he put out with the whiteline spacers, ventilated recoil pad and rosewood 45-degree for- end and chisel point grip cap and the weatherby copied inlays. This, however, may have it beat.

Duh.... What's going on there? That's way too much for a barreled action, cheap scope and sorry sling.

The only litter that one makes me think of is kitty litter, and dirty at that pissers

Ole ugly is a working gun, and hence has beauty in it's use. Just like a work boat has an appeal to it.

That is indeed quite a stock. Is that an "elk rack motif" to complement the dots? Confused The stocker must have been on one hell of of a binge.

Okay, guys, lets lighten up here a bit. I understand the seller is providing a paper bag for the buyer at no extra cost. This rifle has character: yes a real "character" would need to be the buyer; provides self-reliance as no one would lift a finger to help the buyer if a bus was coming there way; the rifle would build self-esteem and would go along with the buyers wearing of his pink panties and finally the rifle would require a sterile person to own therefore protecting us from a future mutants.

sharpshooter, were you really in the shop or just fooling me? What kind of shop is this?

I would not buy anything from a gunshop that honestly thought it was 1. all right to list this, 2. put that price tag on it.

You have a reputation as a seller, in any business. this is the kind of thing that could go a long way to hurting your image.

Sharpshooter, I'd really like to know what kind of person this shop owner is, if you talked to them. I mean, maybe they posted it as a joke? That would be forgiveable I guess.

In defense of Boise Gun (ie the seller) I have to say they are a true class act. While I was deployed to Iraq they worked with me to purchase a rifle from them on lay away for far longer than the normal 90 days. They treated me better than I have ever been by any other gun shop. They also went out of their way to do the same for 2 of my soldiers. Like any gun shop they are going to get abominations in at times just because that is part of doing business. You would be hard pressed to find a nicer bunch to deal with.

Think of it this way: shooting that rifle is like fooling around with an ugly fat chick - it is still fun and feels good - but who wants to be seen with it??????
