steve505almost sold my asquare
i bought a 416 rigby from Asquare 20 years ago and keep thinking to sell it off but after reading this ad, not likely now

"A-Square Hannibal, .416 Weatherby Magnum, with 26" massive, non-glare finish barrel
with a ramped front sight and ramped rear sight with a knurled adjusting screw, and
quick detach scope bases.The large, and definitely masculine, stock has no
checkering on the pistol grip or fore end but does have a heavy-duty recoil pad,
and sling swivels. This is, without a doubt, a manly rifle. "

Charles_HelmDo you believe everything that Cabelas says...

jeffeossoSteve,
you know to read ads as counter-intutive, right?
"..a manly rifle"
means, in car speak
"a fine porsche 914 label on a reasonable car. Show the women your porsche badge, and they'll melt"

Paolo9,5x73Almost bought .500A2, definitely masculine.

GeorgeSI don't know about that stock being 'masculine', unless masculine now means ugly, clunky and inelegant.

The stock of my .470 Capstick (see my signature photo) contains two DeadMule recoil suppressors, and looks like a gunstock, not a piano leg.

Frank MartinezGeorge, I think about your rifle each time I see the photo. Could you or have you ever posted photos of it? If not will you do so please?
Thank you,

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

GeorgeSFrank,
I'll have to upload some this evening. Hunt101 never restored my photos after their 'upgrade'.

ACRecurveGeorge,
How are those Dead Mules working for you? I like mine!
Good hunting,

GeorgeSACR,
I've never fired the gun without them, and I don't intend to.
At 10.75lbs., with a 500gr. bullet leaving the muzzle at 2380fps, that rifle generates 74ft.-lbs. of recoil. I don't think I want to try it without the DeadMules.

Nice rifle. Did you file in the sight leaves yourself?

Not bad for a rifle with a bolt on the wrong side. Gotta love those NECG sights.
Lo do they call to me,
They bid me take my place
among them in the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.

<allen day>What I would do is post that ad in encapsulated form as part of your own when you advertise your rifle. If Cabela's thinks it'll work for them, how can it fail to work for you

GeorgeSCharles,
No, and I've never shot the gun with iron sights beyond 50yds., so I don't even know where on the barn door the bullets would strike.

475Guy,

You might want to shoot from inside the barn...

GeorgeSCharles,
If the buff is in the barn with me, I'm all set.
As far as I am concerned, iron sights are an option of last resort. It's a rifle for thick-skinned DG at close range, and I don't expect to shoot that gun with irons at 200- and 300yds (hell, I can't see a target that far away anyway

) .
Paolo,
I had a Nickel scope once and it was of high quality.
The web site says that scope has eye relief of 4.9" (125mm), but doesn't say if that is constant.
