SDH, will you please identify the single shot in the warthog picture? (I can't, but I want it anyway....). Thanks for posting it!

No, it doesn't. But like JayCee said, you have proved yourself pretty well in this thread.
It's gettin' a little old jOe, why not just put a sock in it?

Rifle on Pig
(I guess it's OK to hi-jack this thread as feeding the trolls has already screwed it up. We've simply got to ignore these a**h****.)
This is my oft-photographed sidelever single shot hunting rifle, in 30-40 Krag, created from a Ruger #3 with metalsmithing by the late John Madole with which I've been hunting for 12 years, have taken 17 head of big game and will be mule deer hunting this Thanksgiving (God willing!)

And on the cover of self-published book circa 1999 with stories about both the rifle and the metalwork. (I a very few copies left!)

I surely hope Glenn has as much fun, shoots as often and gets to go hunting with his lovely single shot as much as I have.

Steven, imagine the comments the engraver would get if you used that nice but unique gemsbok
as a model.

Looks like another victim of Col.Capsticks Range Rover...

Mr. Dodd-Hughes, I want a copy of the book. How much and where do I send the money? I tried the pm but I can't seem to get it to work.

Thanks, SDH-MT! That is one heck of a rifle. I have an original Win Hi-Wall .30-40 and a great respect for the caliber, even the factory 180 gr. are darn good killers.

Since imitation is the sincerest form of respect, to misquote someone famous (I think), I'm going to COPY your rifle's forearm on my custom #1 .22 Hornet. It is perfect, as is the open pistol grip.

Mike, that forend is not perfect, as my rifle has a 28" very heavy barrel. Draw it proportionally. I'd also make the ebony a tad longer these days.

Yup, I'd make the Hornet forend a little shorter to go with the 25" medium-heavy (1S contour) barrel. Thanks for the inspirational posts! (I think--other people have bookies after 'em, we'uns have stockers and smiths.....and wives).

I admire your .30-40 handload. However, the one I've found most efficient for little old deer at the ranges I can hit 'em is a .30-30 170 Silvertip at .300 Savage velocity. No kickum; killum.

What's all the bluff and bluster about HomeboundJoe here for? If you'd all do exactly what I've done and just put him and a few others on ignore there wouldn't be any of this stuff. When people stop replying to what he says he'll go away because he's only doing it out of a childlike need for attention. Take away the attention and you'll take away the problem.

P.S. Of course I've just given him exactly what he wants right here by saying this even though I didn't read what he said in the first place.
