It's still a work-in-progress as far as getting my trophies in here but it is a relief to have my reloading equipment in it's own area and out of the house.

Very nice set up! Love the tongue and groove walls/ceiling!
 
Very nice - Got to feel good to get your own space!
 
Thanks! I have an unfinished area over my barn...
 
It looks very nice. You will wish the walls were taller I am sure. Love the wood.

Looks great there rob
Once the really good big stuff is in there its gonna be great
 
This looks really great. Do you have any kind of UV protection on the windows? You may want to consider moving your sable above the windows to protect it better.
 
That’s a killer reloading room setup. Very nice!
 
That is a very nice space to call your own. Given that you have a safe up there, I hope you reinforced the floor in that area. I agree that taller walls would have been better, but we all have to accept what space our better halves are willing to give us, and then deal with it.
 
Very very nice. If that was my place I’d only come out to eat and sleep!
 
Thanks all! I really liked my design of an open ceiling. Each end of the room has walls that extend up to the ceiling where I can put the big stuff. The entire floor was overbuilt so I could put the safe anywhere I wanted. Good to know about the UV protection. I hadn't thought about that.
 
Whats that thing to the right of the safe?
 
Nice work, good job getting that safe up there.
 
Looks very neat and grant sure you will enjoy the area.
 
Very nice!

I have to ask... how did you get that massive safe up there :o
 
The builders lifted it up through the front window before it was closed up using a small crane and then slid it across the floor using protective pads. But there is a YouTube video of two guys taking one up stairs just using a hand dolly!

I just saw Budsgunshop.com has both the guide gun and the African for $1150. FWIW - I bought both and decided to use the Guide gun - I restocked it in a Bell and Carlson stock and I added the Alaska arms floor plate to add a round. I wanted the shorter barrel as I will use a suppressor. I wont go lower than $1100, but I will ship it and no sales tax.

Let me know if you are interested

I have an unfired Ruger 375 African if you are interested. $1,100 shipped to you

Bought it earlier this year
