Bigdog:

I have gone through much of the same. Many trades for new toys. I must say this is my first venture into an ultra large bore. I smirk at the thought of what the boys down at the range will think. My buddy brought his 500 nitro double down one day and those fellas thought we were shooting a damn cannon. Wait til they get a look at this thing, especially with all the smoke and noise. You should really be more open minded about the adoption. I come with additional guns and an income;-).

I am off to do some shooting with this great old mauser I just uncovered. Have a great day or night guys depending on where you are.
