Picked up the Sabatti in 450NE.

Here are a few photos of the double rifle family:

Verney-Carron 600NE - Sabatti 450NE - Chapuis 9.3x74R


And the opposite side and order

What they chew up and spit out

Wheeeeeee...

That 450-400 is still in Boise, and would fill that big hole between 9,3 and 458.
What are you doing up this late?

Fourth shot down, are those HUGE, oversized extractors/ejectors on the Sabatti? On that same gun, is the rib drilled and tapped?

Hi Don,

I have to take a closer look at those extractors tonight. Yes it is drilled and tapped and comes with a rail to mount rings and a scope.

Rich,

That 450-400 has been weighing heavily on my mind - seems to be calling me in my dreams!

Speaking of which, yes I was up pretty late BUT slept a full 7 hours last night. That's more than I slept in the last five days put together ...

Doc,

that's the second best part about being retired.
The flexible schedule.
The best part, you stay home and they send you money.

ISS,

My dad will be 71 this year.

He is a Longshoreman and still works on the docks every day.

I tell him to never retire

or

if he does, to quickly get another job because if he stayed home he would suffer emotional, mental and physical harm - from my mother.

They love each other dearly - as long as he doesn't try to tell her how better to do what she has been doing for the last 50 years of marriage.

I sense a need for cliche. Here ya' go:

I married you for better or worse. But not for lunch.

Good hunting.

Like me, my father has a tough exterior but a very gentle, sensitive heart. EVERY hunting season I remember from the early 60's until today the following conversation occurs:

Pop to my mother "I'm going to miss you Hon. Maybe we'll come home early."

Mom "Have a great time."

Pop "I'll miss you. Will you miss me?"

Mom "Have a great time."

Pop "Won't you miss me?"

"No"

"Really ...?"

"Oh, stop being a baby, of course I'll miss you."

For the past 30 years that last line has been followed by "Elizabeth (my wife of 24 of those 30) where are we going tomorrow?"
