A whitetail I shot this year with the 475 Turnbull at 180 yards. Using 400 gr. TSX bullet

Doug, as they say, use enough gun :-)

PS: If the Deer was wearing that hat, I would have shot him too...in season or not :-)

I'd rather shot him with the 475 than a 243 or 308 at least I don't loose the amount of meat from the hydro shock of the bullet. Just cut around the hole and your done!!

Now that's funny!


P.S. Doug, congrats on a fine shot!

Doug!.

I am a great admire of your fine rifles. As a former Winchestercollector, the Model 1886 & 1895 was in my book true useful huntingrifles.
The other Browning patent models were also fine guns but more designed for saddlework or light ranch guns.
It´s a joy to see a few gunsmiths in the US can do work on such guns that equal the originals in aestetics and perfomance.

Thanks for sharing

"think you used enough dynamite there Butch ?"

nice deer, I love the big bore lever guns..... as I like those deer to drop rather than track them a couple hundred yards!

Doug,

Did you choose/find a place to take those clients on their hunting trip?

Nice rifle, nice deer. I guess you could consider the hat a nice tribute to the late Tom Laughlin (Billy Jack), he had one similar.

Not yet still looking, possibly a aoudad free range or hogs? Something will come up.

I've been looking at Turnbull rifles for a while and thinking about buying one. I wish he made a one of those thumpers with an 18 inch barrel in 45-70. That would be just the ticket for anything in NA...

My guess is.... all you have to do is ask! I went the other way on my latest one, 32 inch 50-110.

I know, but as soon as I ask, there goes five grand!

Doug, You are next

I'm ready!!!!!
