Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

Gorgeous rifle and my favorite caliber. Engraving looks stunning.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Nice rifle but shameful to speak of double rifles when the inventor of the AK 47 just kicked the bucket.
Do as do I, Jim, Hide it away in shame or prepare for Shootaway to drag it through the dirt. While he has placed all of our rifles as garbage and all of us as losers, I wonder how he classifies he new rifle that is on the way to him?
Jim, I do hope we can shoot a bit this spring. Don't spend all of your funds as my .500 Watson may be up for sale by summer. Not sure yet.
Cheers, mate. I'm off for three weeks out of state and will be home after Dallas.

This looks like a really good one at a great price Jim. Cal, are you selling because your trash is being duplicated by Brett? Just kidding.

No, Matt, just too much stuff. I've been thinning the past year or so. Lots more to go.
Cheers, mate.

Brett's just one of those copy cats if you know what I mean. Heck, Joyce and I shaved our heads and Brett just had to do the same thing. animal

I was impressed by the pictures from the haircut party. Haven't seen that many fit people in a barbershop at the same time.

I think Joyce will love that rifle.

BTW, if all dbl rifles are trash, why is Hoot a Way getting one?

I think he is temperamental- 90% temper and 10% mental. Must be the conversion from Celsius to Farenheit.

Merry Christmas,

Matt

I do believe his belief is that 100 year old British doubles are trash, whereas a modern double is a work of art, whether it needs to be repaired repeatedly or not.

I don't think Shootaway ever said all double rifles are trash, just vintage doubles from the UK. I'm sure any double he owns or single barrel are fine weapons.

Mike:
You are too quick to judge. Not everyone has the skill to pattern a rifle like a load of buckshot or a magazine load of Rob's Thompson .45.

I wonder if Shootaway will get the same accuracy in his double as I do with my 4-bore: one shot, one inch group and ANY distance!

I'm out of state tomorrow, see you in January and I'll have a table at the Palmer show.
Cheers, mate.
Cal

Heck even I can get a one inch group with that beast! I've done that good with Robs 4 bore already.
