Rook Rifles

[GeorgeGibbs505]

William Evans rifle, once was a 300 Rook, now a larger wildcat. Wonderful condition and shoots good.

Great find and I'm glad you have that set.

I have the same problem of materials in wrong places. My office is my library and where I keep my guns , my workshop is in another building where I do smithing work, restoration projects, and handloading. As Murphy's law dictates, whatever I need is always in the other location at a given moment.

How about asking a much younger person to set you up with a second computer and a wifi booster OR a home network. Amazing what competent computer literate people can achieve, on a small budget, especially with lightly used trade-in or demo kit. A secondhand tablet could be the ideal workshop solution. Just saying …

GeorgeGibbs, the squirrel laying next to your Rook rifle gives proportion to the rifle. The squirrel looks like a ground hog next to the petite rifle.

We're pretty high tech over here. We have a wifi mesh that covers dozens of acres, 8gb fiber, the workshop has appletv, HDTV, etc.

The thing it doesn't have is my library. What you'll find in life is that a great many books are required to get through life and the content in those books does not exist in AI, nor the Internet. Some of the books I reference often, only 250 copies exist and the Vatican has two of them...the Internet won't save me when I have a question about sporting art, but that 4 volume set from the early 20th century will.

Does this count? Technically marketed as a kangaroo rifle.
Chambered for the .450 No.1 “Kangaroo”. 1.5” case using a 270gr bullet and 28gr blackpowder.

I have no idea what any of that means, but I support it wholeheartedly.

I did have a 300 Sherwood which is a suped up 300 Rook. They advertised them originally for Kangaroo, small antelope, roe deer, etc. Plenty enough for the task given, just like your Wallaby weapon!
