These are some classic "famous last words" i would expect to hear from a sheltered liberal with limited real world experience. I have some experience with Mexican cartels. You might be fine... or you might say the wrong thing or look at someone the wrong way.

Nope

If you are not selling the gun, why did you post it in the classifieds section? There are much better sections of this forum for questions.

We had a brief bit of good weather back in December, so i decided to go for a ride. Only to find the road had been closed due to flooding. I snapped this picture real quick... And it turned out great! A fine example of NW USA: dense forrest, damp conditions, misty fog, backed by blue skies.

Forget about long range shooting with doubles, that is not their purpose. A doubles role is to fire two shots in rapid succession. I suggest shooting a handful of doubles by different makers in different cartridges. Gain some experience before making the plunge. As for dealing with recoil...

The Ruger #1 is probably the only rifle that i would want reduced loads for. They have always been too light for DG cartridges. The last #1 i held was a 458 lott that only weighed 7lb! :E Rofl: The 450/400 in a properly designed rifle has extremely mild recoil. If it is hurting you, than...

Years ago i had a Tikka T3 in 6.5x55. it was a solid rifle in a great cartridge... But i got bored with it. I sold it to fund other more interesting firearms.

Is it possible to be friends with someone who is anti-gun?

The below link claims to have some in stock. I dont have any experience with the website but a quick google search says the company is probably legit. https://www.northernshooterssupplies.com.au/500-A-Square-Unprimed-Brass-p/500asqupb.htm

This would make sense. The gun does seem much to light for 8-bore DG loads. Case size in these old guns was a strange business. It can be hard to determine why a longer/shorter case was used. A longer case does not always mean a larger powder charge. My 3.25" cases still require a filler with...

I would be happy with a tuskless cow. Elephant is one of those hunts that will likely never happen for me. If i play my cards right i might make it back to Africa one more time for a Hippo.

If you expect to sell this piece of furniture, your going to need to provide more information about the item and yourself. Just posting some pictures and a price make it look like a scam.

New production W.J. Jeffery 8-bore rifles when? Here is a W.J. Jeffery 8-bore 3.25" double rifle made in 1895-1896: Over 130 years old and still shoots great! These days she throws a 1200gr cast bullet at 1300fps using a nitro-for-black load of Alliant Blue Dot.

Pretty sure most of us get there without loud bikes... Getting old is a female dog.

I have been both and am comfortable with that.
