I think most of us like to know, both from a general curiousity standpoint,

and because we just love these things, which double rifles are presently

owned and shot by our forum community members. Now some of us may be

more "private" than others and that's fine. But if you think you might like to

join me in the idea of reminding each other of what we have at any given

moment, look at my entries beneath my SIGNATURE and make similar additions

to your SIGNATURE in your PROFILE section. Adding this information to your

SIGNATURE SECTION allows everyone to see which double rifle(s) you have

WITH EACH POST YOU ENTER. I enjoy knowing about the Hawks rifles for

example, and Tony B's, and retreever's, etc. But sometimes I forget who has
what! Well, to those that choose to make the addition to their SIGNATURE
SECTION, thanks in advance.

OK.
Kreighoff 500/416
MK Owen 450x3 1/4
Tikka 512SD 9.3x74R, 7x57R

Peter.

This is exactly what I am talking about ! I'd love to know more about the

MK Owen 450 3 1/4" NE ! What does it weigh, do you like it, how long have

you had it, are you the 1st owner of it, has it required any repairs, what's

the barrel length, the whole run down? There are others who probably want

to know all about the other two rifles listed. Now if Peter has made this

rifle list part of his signature in his PROFILE we'll all be reminded of "WHICH
IS WHOSE" in his case, every time he makes a post !

like this. ?

Hopeful one more before the end of the year!

I'm just listing doubles b/c my big bore bolt action arsenal is usually as fickle as a fart in the wind, and I don't want to have to be constantly editing it.

2006 9,3 Chapuis still in France, I think......

peterdk, Frank Beller, maddenwh, GarBy and bigdoggy700,

You've definitely entered your double rifles into your SIGNATURE

section of your PROFILE right with DRSS and the like. Thanks, that

is exactly what I was hoping for. That way it will come up each time

you post! My thanks to ALL the guys for listing your double rifles in

your posts here. I did NOT know for example, that JPK had a 375

H&H calibered FAMARS SL. He picked a couple of "PLUMS", he did!

Those A&S Famars are beautiful rifles. I love the extended tang strap on those rifles!

Thats it.
Hope it works.LOL

How 'bout we do a thread with pictures?

JPK

LOL, Who's gonna post them for us? I can't... I sent some pics of the bear hunt in the Ak forum to get them added on..

The 9.3's are fun. The X72's are sweet and petite but no punch.. But the X74's are a hoot!

Geez, I thought the differences between the 74's and 72's were typos, oops.

I'm no wiz on the photos but some here are. Also, there is a a sticky on how to post photos somewhere that is very helpful. I'm sure you could find it with a search.

I will have to take some new photos of my rifles and post them.

Thanks, John! Hopefully we can get to the range soon!

Paul,

I am still waiting for my Thys to return. Then we should get together and get some locals to join us.

Just keep me posted!

I am going to also list the one that Butch hasn't hatched yet - but it is somewhere in the lineup.

I have concluded that the 450 400 3" is as big as I want to shoot...but I need two of them.

I have a pic of mine on my avatar but I can't figure out how to put it on my signature.

Fred

Mike Brooks, 577NitroExpress, mstarling, Palmer, WVFred, Martin Godio

and several others have definitely caught on to what I was "SHOOTING" for!

Excellent, really great guys. As you can see. By adding your DOUBLE RIFLE &

DOUBLE RIFLE DRILLING list to your SIGNATURE in your PROFILE section

YOUR LIST APPEARS EACH TIME YOU POST NOW! 577 NE has added his

fine photo to his SIGNATURE as well, and that is just beautiful! I gotta learn

how to do THAT ! I really appreciate everyones participation here, thank you
to all, once again.

so, i'll poopoo this.. i think the concept of having, in everyone of your posts, a flag stating you own SEVERAL $K$K$ rifles is a poor idea

That's why I haven't done it.

Someone drops your name in a post, you are already listed
where you are, some unscrupulous people could track you down
and just wait for you to say "I'm off on a 2 week hunt" and
when you come back, they're gone.

After all, you can get the name and address of a person
by digging based on just an ip address so what can someone
do with all the other info given out ?

If everyone decided to opt OUT

I would certainly understand ...
