Since you like pulling the back trigger first you should wire them together like Jack Elem in Rio Lobo. | |||

That's mean Biebs.. FUNNY but mean! Now anyone want to guess what brand he's chosen? Light weight and a 450 NE....Two triggers.. Sabatti?

A 7 1/2 lb 450 NE....Hmmmmmm. A 450 eliminates the small frame DRs. Maybe a VC made to order....with 21" barrels, balsa wood stock, engraved "Ye Ole Curmudgeon"? That would be my guess. | |||
|
| One of Us |
If that was the case, wouldn't he have ordered it with a single trigger ??? Or is that not an option with VC ? Or, even better, have we converted Will to be a double trigger man ???????? . | |||

Dang, can't sneak anything past Mike. Nothing more unglamorous than a Sabatti, but there you have it. Bought a 45-70 a couple years ago with this intention, but it is amazing how long it takes to find someone that knows how to simply run a reamer down the barrels. First, two reamer makers/suppliers/renters that I tried swore their reamers were sharp. Back and forth, back and forth. One was making all sorts of excuses and the other was accusing me of dulling up his reamer. Ha! Then enter some local type "gunsmiths" who knew about as much about reamers as I did, which is nothing. I was about to bury the evidence of ever owning the much dreaded Sabatti in the backyard when I found a competent gunsmith who knew about reamers. Eureka. Now the tasks at hand are re-doing the sights if I can get it regulated and re-doing the 10 pound triggers. If I can't regulate it to elephant distance, then I'll still bury the Sabatti in the backyard. I got the old wooden cross made up already. But where else can you find a 7 1/2 pound 450 NE? Even if it is a kicking fool. The two triggers? God craps on Kansas once in awhile. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

All you need is a dremel to regulate. Even a guy from Kansas can do it!  ****************************************************************** R. Lee Ermey: "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle." ****************************************************************** 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!!!!!

He wants a lightweight rifle so he can shoot those lightweight elephants. The only thing he doesn't like is carrying all those decoys.....  | |||
