.700 AHR Ridiculousness :-)

[RR 314]

I know this won’t be for everyone, but it brings me joy. Well, I haven’t shot it, and that may be where the joy ends. What is comical to me is that the dies come in a cardboard box as I assume there may not be a traditional die holder that could house these things—at least not in one box.

For reference from right to left:
.404 Jeffery
,458 Lott
.550 Magnum
.700 AHR

Is it practical? No
Is it overkill over the Overkill? . Yes
Does it make everyone who handles it smile? Yes

Well done, Wayne. Well done!

Yikes looks like artillery!

Looks like fun! Why haven't you tried it out yet?

Pics of the rifle?

I could have used that today. My Son in Law hit a squirrel with his .22 and it wouldn’t submit.

Probably stop a charging velociraptor in his tracks.

Probably stop a charging velociraptor in his tracks.

So you are saying just give science a few years to catch up....

Probably stop a charging velociraptor in his tracks.

Need a .577 Tyrannosaur for that.

 

[CoElkHunter]

Need a .577 Tyrannosaur for that.

Or a .550 Triceratops.

 

[CJW]

Or a .550 Triceratops.

Well if you ever wanted your own wildcat, that would be a cool name.

I think it's awesome. I saved a pic from the listing ..

I have a 700 cartridge. I set it next to a rock squirrel hole. Went back a couple hours later and found this.

That is the squirrel killing rascal. Sorry for delay. Just got out of my daughter’s volleyball tournament. My ears are ringing more from screaming girls and whistles than they would be if had a chance to shoot it. Will probably be a while before I get out to shoot it. Going to swap the recoil pad out and do some other tweaks.

Does that .700 rifle come with wheels?

Are you pre-booking shoulder re-construction surgery, or will you wait until after you shoot it......I would pre-book if it was mine

Already lined up for my left shoulder. Thankfully I shoot right handed. .

I understand if you don't shoot it, .. if that hit the surface web sales sites, it would have been long gone. His work in general though, I can't believe how refined a rifle can be for the cost.

I currently have 5 AHRs and the craftsmanship on each is great. The .700 will be shot, I just want to tweak it for fit/LOP before detonation.
