A Special Custom Double Rifle to Hunt Rare Dangerous Game in Wisconsin Hello All, I've brought this over to share with the readers here. I expect most of you have probably never seen these rare Dangerous Animals before. Well, they have infiltrated the suburbs here in Wisconsin. It is believed they mutated by drinking the discharge water from one of our Nuclear Power Plants. Subsequent in-breeding has further altered their ravenous behavior to the point that unprovoked attacks on animals and people have become an all to often serious occurrence. . . . Here are a few pictures of various mutations of the vicious WISCONSIN KILLER RABBIT. . . . . . ![]() ![]() ![]() . . . So, I have taken it upon myself to help combat these satanic creatures. As you know, a Double Rifle is designed for that quick second shot in case the dangerous animal charges. Such is the case here. If the first shot fails to stop a charge, the second shot is quick to finish the job. Although I have a battery of double rifles to choose from, ranging in calibers from 7x65R, up-to 700 NE, none of them really fit the bill for the task at hand, namely hunting these Dangerous Animals. I needed a very special Double Rifle. It had to be in a caliber that was quiet for use in populated suburban areas, and it had to be fast-handling for the quick and nimble game to be hunted. It also had to be light weight to carry - in case a rapid run-away departure was required to retreat from a charging pack of the killers. So .... I contacted Aaron Little to build me a Special Double Rifle of my design. It would be used exclusively to Hunt-Down and Kill these Mutated WISCONSIN KILLER RABBITS. You may recall that Aaron built my custom 700NE back in 2016. Information was posted here .. http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=280803&page=0&fpart=1&vc=1 As he had done for me in the past, Aaron came through with a wonderful rifle, specifically designed for the upcoming hunt of these Vicious Devils. As expected, the workmanship is absolutely Flaw-Less. Here are the specifications: Make: A.M. Little Bespoke Custom Armsco Box-Lock Caliber: 25 acp Action: Engraved Scalloped Boxlock w/ Extractors Barrels: Monoblock 23-1/2" Lothar Walther Rear Sight: 2 Leaf Express Rear Sight - 1 Standing, 1 Folding on Raised Quarter Rib Front Sight: Raised Ramp with Gold Bead and Flip-up Ivory Night Sight Stock: Checkered Straight Grip AA Fancy Turkish Walnut w/ checkered Butt Plate Forend: Checkered AA Fancy Turkish Walnut w/ Deeley Release LOP: 14-5/8" Weight: 6 pounds 11 ounces - 6 pounds 11.1 ounce loaded Safety: Non-Automatic Muzzle Energy: 90 ft/lbs Recoil Energy: 1/10 ft/lbs Regulation: 30 yards . . . Here are some pictures. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() . . . Regulation was tested with 3 kinds of Factory Ammo. Future hand-loads are sure to improve performance. ![]() . . . Never before has the World seen a center-fire Double Rifle in such a diminutive caliber as the 25acp. As a side note, this is a true ONE-OF-KIND. Once all the WISCONSIN KILLER RABBITS have been eradicated, I'm sure to have a lot of fun shooting this one along side my 700NE. Its great to have the BIGGEST and the SMALLEST Double Rifle in my collection. I now have a Double Rifle in a really big center-fire caliber, and one in a really small center-fire caliber. So, now I'm ready for anything on the planet. ![]() . . . Comparing the ballistics of these two extreme double rifles shows following: Weight: 700NE = 18 lbs 10 oz 25acp = 6 lbs 11 oz Bullet Weight: 700NE = 1000 gr 25acp = 50 gr Bullet Velocity: 700NE = 2000 ft/sec 25acp = 890 ft/sec Recoil Energy: 700NE = 150 ft/lb 25acp = 1/10 ft/lb Muzzle Energy: 700NE = 8,900 ft/lbs 25acp = 90 ft/lbs . . . By the Way ...... The rifle performed flawlessly .. ![]() . . . |
