I've got one in 25/20 from 1910. No homer bucket is safe out to about 75 yards. Fun rifles and hold their value even if you do shoot them on occasion (unless mint). Good luck with the sale!

That's why I started already, going to need a full year!

it is solid wood. Just took it apart to move it out. It's a heavy piece of furniture. Easy assembly, 8 nuts and 12 screws secure it to the base.

Sorry, does $250 sound about fair?

For what it is worth, I bought the same gun last year for my wife and daughter to hunt with . I had PRC put a little b@st@rd on it and topped it with a LRHS and it shoots. I only shot the 143eldx but grouped well under an 1", it dialed into every range out to 500 that I tried (no groups at distance, but several 2 shot within the diamond hits). I liked it so much (and the fact it is 1/2 the weight as my typical carry) I ended up shooting my deer with it in Oct (you know, just to make sure it was safe for my wife) and then my wife killed her first deer with it in Nov. Since it is a Creedmore, yes, I am attempting to grow a man bun in time for next season - just to not let anyone down. haha. Good luck with the sale

I'm sure your compatition guns are great. My opinion only, but don't say stuff is junk if you don't really know. In that price range that the gentleman spoke of, that is a great gun. Is it the best machined o/u out there, obviously not. For 500-700, it is about the best bang for the buck that I know of hence my reply. You on other hand, shot down the idea without knowing.. because you Del'd it!

Del have you shot the Stevens 555 and don't like something or are you just being a Del and knowing everything about everything even though you haven't ever actually shot one? Just curious if this is a del moment or you actually know? I'm guessing you and Seeker probably should just give us all a manual on everything and make our pathetic lives a little easier.

That savage/stevens 555 (made in Turkey) is actually a pretty sharp O/U. I've had the chance to shoot a couple and it points and seems to hold up really well.

You mean someone actually thinks getting closer to an animal is part of the hunt And experience vs pulling the trigger after dad dials everything in? And taking an ethical shot at some distance that wind and movement and heart rate isn't as big of factor? Wow, I thought I was the only one left! Congratulations to him and you and one heck of a buck especially for left over.

Great place to start, thank you!

I appreciate it. Thanks guys

Hi all. I'm considering purchasing. Does anyone have any personal experience and thoughts they would share? Likes, Dislikes, issues/concerns, accuracy, etc. Thanks!

All while being a marine sniper, navy seal and master taxidermist for 87 years.

guess that is what I meant by hitch weight and yeah I would rather have too much than too little for the reasons 360 said. I assume the trailer has trailer brakes? You should be totally fine.. plenty of truck to handle that trailer and tongue weight. 360 brings up a good point.. If you are throwing a UTV in the back of that trailer and not over or forward of the axels, you can get a lot of sway. Keep the weight on the hitch! You have plenty of truck to support it.

in my humble opinion you would not need any distribution hitches for that load with that truck. In fact taking too much weight off the hitch can be more dangerous than carrying that weight. If it were me I would give it a tow without anything to Rye or Globe and see if you are comfortable. If you do end up going with something the EZ lift system worked well for me with a 7K trailer with 550 tough weight. I would invest in a heavy duty hitch however.

I didn't catch paying for a second tag in the story, maybe I missed that part? Yes on auction, but since not legally his deer, It's not really a penalty to buy a set of horns.

That's just buying the 2nd set.. you still get to keep the one you tagged! Maybe that's the right consequence, you have to pay market price per lb for the deer and horns you tagged or lose it - LOL!

I agree and not at all attacking the OP, he was willing to accept whatever came his way. Just saying I'm very surprised that there isn't some sort of fine for the loss of the animal or suspension. I really don't know what the right consequence is but feels like a dangerous precedent for a lot of frustrated hunters waiting 20+ years for a tag and just way too easy to do a oops. That's all I'm saying. Not the 99% of us and not the guys that are killing stuff to just to kill it or collect horns, but I could see more oops's start to happen if there is literally no penalty and you get a chance to buy your horns even.

3 others? Holy cripe. I've hunted with a group for 40 years now and I don't know 1 that this has happened too. I guess if g&f don't care, it might start though. Just crazy to me to even think there is no consequences.

Looks like 17 may be opened back up.

I have to be honest, I'm a little disappointed in our G&F on this one with the fact there is not a harsher consequence for these actions. I get the whole self reporting and accidents happen etc, and no offense to the poster here as you were prepared to suffer whatever was thrown at you, but if after waiting XX amount of years for a trophy tag and dumping two bucks and the only consequence is that I only get to keep one and I probably can't get away with it twice.... that seems like our G&F is setting up a 1X poachers playbook exemption. I don't know what the right consequence is for this but feels like there needs to be some deterrent.
