A ridiculous idea

Post by AusTac » 02 Jan 2018, 12:21 pm

Ok so, any of you fellas have a thompson/centre pro hunter break action? I kind of want one in .500 smith and wesson..

Edit - slightly more thought, thats probably a CAT H caliber in Vic hey, what about 45-70 govt?
Short and sweet :D

Not really, If you sell me your 45-70 along with casting blocks for $300 it will help with funds for a
500 smith and wesson. :twisted:

But then 45-70 won't have a cute cousin to talk to in the safe. No deal!

Ouch. That's way above my threshold. Better part of 2g's is like a brand new RAR compact with night vision. Bummer! :violin:

It surprised me that the sling swivel was not fixed to the barrel and I expected it to be driven into the shooter's left hand. Thanks for the education, bentaz :D :thumbsup:

Where can I get one?!?!

The .500 S&W case is nearly identical in dimensions to the ancient .50-70 Govt. which can be had in repro falling block Sharps rifles and repro Remington rolling blocks with a 1:18 twist barrel.
With one of these in your fleet you could load cast bullets and either that new fandangled smokeless powder or real powder.
...Just sayin.
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.

You may also be interested in a 500 smith and Wesson lever action. I haven’t got an Australian website for the rifle though.

Nah, I wouldn't shoot it enough to justify those $. Needs to be under $800 new or used. Or half that for barrel.

Anyways, on the to-aquire list, one day... I'd like few other things before that.
