For Sale Custom 416 Taylor On Remington 700 - Houston

[CoElkHunter]

Wow, nice looking rifle! I see why you are selling it though. A little flashy for a Missouri lever gun boy like you
Ray does good work, I’m sure it’s a solid rifle and a good shooter.

Tarbe says he’s in Houston, TX. How did Missouri come into this?

I currently live and work in Houston, but my wife and I own property in Ozark County Missouri, where we plan to retire in about 3 years.

Note "Location" to the left: Houston, TX and Romance, MO

That explains it. Thanks! My dad was from Tiffin (Nevada) Missouri. I’ve been there once. Beautiful country!

We like it! Of course, we are hillbillies at heart!

Beautiful! I can see why you would want to live there!

Nice gun, good luck on the sale!

Honestly, the best part is the people. The vast majority of the folks there are just plain great!

Low population density, low taxes and moderate weather (compared to Texas and Wisconsin) are nice, too!

Yes. A little bit of the best of everything!

Went shooting today.

As I cleaned the 5 rifles up after the range trip, I got to wondering how I was going to get all those rifles back into the safe.

I need some room guys!

I will sweeten the pot by throwing in 59 350gr TSX, 50 400gr Partitions and 35 350gr Speer bullets.

Nice rifle! But I just added a Ruger No1 Stainless 458 Lott and Winchester Classic stainless 375 H&H to the fold a couple weeks ago. My bank account needs a bandaid!

How is the Lott working for you?

Never shot it. A good friend of mine kept bugging me about it, so I sold it to him. Lol!

Oh Toby, your killing me! But now you can buy Tarbe’s fine Remington .416 Taylor. Then, when you get tired of looking at it (next month?), you can replace the stock with a 14.5 lop model and sell it to me? Just include the reloading dies with it. Ha! Ha! Ha! All kidding aside, you are one of my favorite people here on AH. I really enjoyed the description of your buffalo hunt, “Buffalo rodeo in the Kalahari”, and your lioness hunt. These hunting accounts by you and many others here on AH, help keep my dream alive of someday hunting in a Africa. Thanks!

I'm shocked!!


NOT!

I believe we all need an international mutual aid fellowship with the stated purpose of enabling its members to "stay away from buying & selling too many guns to maintain sanity"

 

[tarbe]

No one needs a foul-weather Moose/Elk rifle?

Willing to entertain trades, partial trades, offers...

@tarbe sounds like you need another safe

Toby, Are you native Georgia or Southern? You've just admitted to breaking the Redneck Rule: When you acquire a new (to you) firearm, you MUST fire it before taking into your primary domicile or placing it in sotage (cabinet, safe, locker, etc...). That's the law; it's also why so many road signs have bullet holes in them. LOL

Yup! It appears I'm keeping this one. Time to buy brass!

The 416 Taylor is a nice well balanced round, that and your 450 and you are set for most anything in the big and nasty category, unless you just have to have a 50+ thumper.

@davetexas is now the owner of the 450 Dakota...I believe he is going to smack a Cape Buffalo with it!

I believe my DG hunting days are over...that is why I am ok with the .416 being a M700. I figured it to be a thumping Moose/Elk rifle.
