WTB - A-SQUARE 577 T-REX

If anyone has one they would like to pass-on - or if you know of one for sale .. I'd be interested.

Getting ready to fight back? I'd heard some wild T-Rex was eating up your whitetails.

SRY Buckstix - I do not know anyone who has one, let alone for sale, although if I did know of someone with one of those, it would likely be for sale.

After watching the videos of guys shooting them, I would suspect most used T-Rex's would have some degree of stock or barrel damage from bouncing on the floor, ground, off back walls, etc.

I think O'l Ed Huble has some guns and loads might just make the T-Rex look like a warm .577BPE load.

Jack Lott had a hand in one of those, made it up on a m17 action & the case was a turned rimless 577 case if I remember correctly!
A small article is in the Big Bore Magazine (Ultra Magnum Wildcats?) he spoke about how they went about it - & yeah it was an absolute cannon so I'll pass on that one!

Buck is a glutton for punishment. He already has examples of two of my wildcat creations, the .500 SRE and the .577 VSRE, shown here with another wildcat, the .450 C&W. The .577 VSRE (for Very Short Range Express) duplicates the ballistics of the .577 NE in a 2.5" case designed for a bolt rifle: a 750 grain bullet at 2050 fps. Next to it is the .500 SRE, which propels a 570 grain .510" bullet at 2150 fps, duplicating the performance of the .500 NE. The .450, on the left, is simply a rimmed version of the .450 Watts for use in a double rifle or single shot. I have a Krieghoff O/U double rifle in that caliber, which duplicates the performance of the .450 NE at pressure levels commensurate with a double rifle. I can attest that the .577 VSRE is a handful to shoot.

What's the parent case for the 577 VSRE?

The .577 NE, shortened to 2.5", with the rim removed and a groove cut in the case head forming a rebated rim the same size as that of the .416 Rigby, to convert it into a rimless cartridge suitable for use in a bolt action rifle.

Tinker I was thinking along the same lines....when it fires it'll be "Oh my"..........F#@%ING GOD!"
I hope you haven't got false teeth Buck!

You could try AHR if you haven’t already.

They sell cases for it.

I've been looking for one of these for over a year. Thanks to a "heads-up" on another firum ... I FINALLY FOUND ONE .... and ....... its on its way to Wisconsin.

Over 3,000,000 views of this video. I can hardley wait to be among them.

So now .... if anyone is interested, I'll be selling my single-shot 577 A-Square. Read about it here.

Love seeing Saeeds victims!

Sometimes you see someone who really knows how to shoot the larger bore rifles.

Is the single shot for benchrest

Actually, with moderate loads (750g @ 2000 fps & under) this one's a pleasure to shoot from the bench. But with full-house loads @ 2400 fps - not so much.

Hello Buckstix,

thatīs nice that you got finally a repeating rifle in .577 T-Rex!
I expect the shot placement on whitetails is simply below the front hooves, the fall down the crater and break their neck...

If your single shot is still available, may I ask you about the price?
Some years ago I bought a die set in .577 T-Rex, so a fitting rifle would be a nice supplement...

best regards
Rolf

Hello Rolf,

Thanks for the reply. I had it listed for $1700, but just today reduced it to $1600 plus shipping and insurance to your FFL - or an be a face-to-face transaction here in Wisconsin.

Hello Buckstix,
