Are you doing an article on hunting the formidable Cape Buff with your Mossberg DGR??? :-)

Biebs,
you might be surprised at what I write about this time. I'm scheming on that as we speak. Alan has made me promise to be nice hahahahahaha

well with a mossburg almost any game might be dangerous game?

Or with ddrhook behind the trigger of ANY RIFLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I have to step in in defense of our favorite Hooker. ( that's really his last name)

He was at my shop over the weekend to pick up his Mossberg equivelent .458 with the new ghost ring. He shot it well, he claimed better than ever with the new sight. The real kicker is, I have a 7X57R single shot in the white at the shop. I have the quarter rib on it and the front sight base, but no sights on it. Ole Hook put two rounds on Wilbur ( my steel hog siloughet) at 230 yds by just sighting down the barrel with a fence post for a rest. He shot it better than I did, I missed.

Maybe sights mess him up....

it's easy to shot well when you have a rifle of that quality in your hands. the singles that bailey builds are wonderful and his doubles are even better.

I've gotta admit the old bugger can shoot well..... the problem is his redneck hillbilly instincts mean you have to watch him anytime he's close to a truck window!

ANDnow the HOBBIT shows up to put his 2 cents worth in!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be in good company in a couple week I believe my friends from RSA are even more redneck than I'm
Hows the new home project coming?

Hey Stop IT
Bailey Send more pictures
Want to see that piece of Drift Wood on the gun.
I want one to put under my pillow while I am on this JUmbo hunt.

This house hunting lark is a right, royal PITA but we're getting there...... we're still very keen on this 1734 riverside cottage renovation I told you about but we need to be ultra careful about what we will and won't be allowed to do before we buy...... The river (Alge... pronounced Alg) is one of the most protected and clean rivers in the entire country....... consequently several meetings with planning and conservation depts are needed.

If we had even a bit more money to spend it'd be a lot easier but as we're sailing close to the wind on budget for this property, we need to be VERY careful before we commit.

The good news is that if we can pull it off, we'd end up with a little bit of paradise that'll knock your socks off when you see it.

Shakari--I hope the House program goes well and quickly--

Don, I got the north fork bullets loaded in your hornet brass.

Tim,
Bailey does not have to ghost ring on the hornet yet but I'm hoping he will get it done. Sean said if i shot a buff with it he would buy it for me
have you ever know of me not accepting a challenge like that

that was -KILLED a buff you redneck-

I wount even complain about the truck door--

SSR

when I shot a critter it die's

Tell Tim and Aubs I said Howdy, Have fun and come back in one piece.

SSR

DR might see ya in Joberg our flight is delayed in dc
Larry

Figured I would crawl out from under the rock and post a few pics of Larry's rilfe action.

There are a LOT of metal chips under my engraving bench after carving this Ele. The background is close to 1/16" deep. 22K gold border and lots of English scroll. My favorite sculpted scroll work on the fences. Lion on a buffalo will be on the other side.

Can you clone yourself with the same talent or make robots to mass produce these so you can make more of us less jealous by the ability to own one as well?
Damn...great work.

Bailey is just trying to pass his laser etching off as engraving.

Nah, no lasers, just chisles, a microscope and arthritis

now I know why bailey has not answered my email he has been busy pimping out Larry's rifle Larry will be needing a fedora and feather boa to wear hunting with that rifle

HEY You said you were going to get in touch when you got some rest. That put the proverbial e-ball back in your court.

I stand duelly corrected I'll call one evening soon my friend
hook

Damn nice, Bailey!

Here I thought Mr. Bradshaw was an Engineer with a flair for Art.
Now I see he is an Artist with a flair for Engineering.

Breath taking work, even my wife if following this thread now.

Cheers, John

Damn you are good Bailey. Just one of the many reasons we love you.

Bailey
Your engraving blew me away. We have a detour coming up on the Holland!!!

if all goes well I get to fondle bailey's/Larry's new rifle tomorrow

Bail
I am still in Africa
Just found a computer to get on
thanks the engraving is great.
WOW
Larry

This is for the guy's that miss these post of the other side of the Bailey Double
Larry

In the DSC Program Bailey is listed as being in Booth 2530. I walked row 2500 several times. Has he relocated?

His name is on the booth but not there.
The guy said Bailey had something happen and Bailey was delayed should be there tomorrow
Larry

Yes, I was late, perhaps the George Jones of rifle making :-)

Made it in about 4 in the afternoon, got setup showed the rifles to a few folks and went to the hotel. My booth is 2530, my sincerest apologies for not being there on time.

Good deal Bail
Be there in a few hours
Larry

Larry I just got home from the DSC show and spent a little time "COON FINGERING" your rifle!

It is looking good!

Found Bailey and his booth today. What a nice guy. While there, was fortunate enough to bump into Larry, Beibs, and a very nice gentleman...Rusty. Missed seeing Mac today. Hopefully he'll be at the dinner tonite. It would be nice to put a name with the face.

"Coon Fingering"?? Well, I guess that's what you could call what I did to it as well!

Nice rifle.

Does this guy look like a Happy Camper?


Had a wonderful time visiting with Bailey and the gang at his both at DSC.
