Title: New elk rifle.
Post by: CplRaines on October 12, 2011, 05:53:04 PM: Made arrangements with a friend of mine down in California to purchase his rifle.
Will be able to drop, skin, quarter and butcher an elk from a very long range.

Barrett 82a1 will be in my stable of lovelies in a couple of months when he brings it up.

And no, not actually gonna go after the big smellies with it.
:chuckle:

Must be a good friend , seeing that The going average for one is around 8K. Also the fact that since Jan 1st of 2005. The import and sales of 50 BMG's in California was halted and owners prior to this date had untill sometime in 06 to register them with the state.

And yes, very good friend. He was my best friend down there when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton.
