bad thing is, this is the 3rd time i've seen it on GB .. the cubic foot of alum for scope base is new ..

the cheekpiece/sleeve is actually a neat idea, as one would be putting their face ON the gas route

Cut the price in half and it might be worth it to save the action from public ridicule and embarrassment.

What a waste of some nice maple. Gunsmithing and paint huffing just don't work!

I just want to see a picture of:

A) the guy who built it

B) The customer who order, it if any

Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.




What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

What I don't understand is why are the scope mounts so high.

You guys are full of it. You just don't get the practical value of a rifle like this.

This rifle coupled with a reloader who likes to push his cartridges up to the ragged edge, and just a bit further for braggin rights. Now park the ear a half inch above the action and yank the yanker. Badda Bing, badda BOOM! Evolutionary selection at work.

Fellows . . . did you not read the ad . . . this gun was made by an "expert". No appreciation here for the melding of creativity and craftsmanship. Sad, sad.

What the heck would you call that? A Mannlicher Bull Pup.....?


30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking.

In our part of the country, the word expert is thus explained.

EX(has been or was) PERT (a small drip that was under pressure)

Looks like the expert got done then wondered how'n hell he was gonna mount the scope.

I'd have to imagine that this piece is near impossible to carry as the balance point looks to be somewhere in the pistol grip area.

It's actually a gigantic hand rifle, a pistol. Now...either we're looking at a relic or quite simply the product of near moonshine poisoning combined with honest effort. They made something, which ended looking like such an abomination as Quasimodo.
