Should I? Hmmmm.

[boomer68]

Just do it! I would never part with mine.

Go for it, and then tells us how it feels to shoot something that can kick the lard out of momma's bisquits!

Too funny...that is an expression I haven't heard before, and I have heard lots of good ones from the years I spent working in Arkansas.

 

[bbearhntr]

Just trying to figure out how practical this is. Got a 257 270 30-378 378 416. All beez. Will I ever use it?

How can it be any less practical than a .416 WBY? :lol: All things considered you would be one rifle closer to having the complete set of weatherby cartridges 8) 8)

Excellent point that has been overlooked heretofore.

Why are you confusing the issue with Facts????????????????/ :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Well i have some sad news. I missed out on that one! You snooze you loose.

But I found another...not that I am looking! :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[boomer68]

That is the exact same model as mine. BUY IT :grin:

 

[1Shot]

I will be the one to say NO! There is a reason that rifle has only been shot 3 times. The recoil of the 460 WM makes a 458 Win mag seem like shooting a 30-06. If you were going to Africa after Elephant then may be yes but in North America NO WAY.

 

[FOTIS]

Recoil is not, nor has ever been an issue.

I have the DAIN BRAMAGE to prove it. :mrgreen:

 

[OU812]

pretty much yeah~ :twisted:


Sometimes my enthusiasm takes over my logic!!!!!!!! :roll:

Since when did logic ever come into play when it comes to buying guns? :shock:

 

[SJB358]

Since when did logic ever come into play when it comes to buying guns? :shock:

Man, I could not agree more Bill.. Logic stopped after we all bought the first 30-06 or 300 mag. After that, we all just went nuts. Scotty

 

[sask boy]

Those are good looking rifles Fotis, I would not sit on this one :wink:

Blessings,
Dan

 

[BK]

we all just went nuts. Scotty

Guilty as charged.

So far the "I think you should's" have it. You really didnt need our help tro talk you into it, but it helps convince the wife.... "but honey....everybody thinks I should...." :grin: CL

 

[Greg Nolan]

You never have to worry about confusing enthusiasm with logic. Enthusiasm IS logic!! :wink: I know it is cause I just missed a 460 last week by being enthusiastic when I should have been logical and buy it. A custom built stainless with brake for a Alaskan resident that moved to Georgia. He also had a 358 STW that I got too enthusiastic about and didn't logically buy it. Man you just got to get "LOGICAL" and buy it before it's too late. IMHO
