Ok this is bacilly a fl man thing besides living here I don’t know how I get involved in some of this mess
I had a buddy show me a marlin in 375 ruger
Said he got a good deal on it because a local shop had to buy so many rifles and ammo back during Covid.
Any way he was sold the rifle for 250$ and the case of ammo he didn’t say the price on the ammo.
So I was like ok any reason or just something to play with.
He said going home from work he saw where a tree a fell on a fince. Well the big deal it’s at a elephant rescue. We have had elephant and other dangerous animals get lose and cause problems. With our hurricane it very well could be a issue.
He lives a lot closer than I do so I understand his wanting the gun.
I am still known in leo circles and have family as the city manager in the closeist town.
So if they do get out and cause a problem I probably am one of the few that might get a call. Not will but might.
Since my shoulder has been torn up
The biggest thing I have are a 338 win mag , 45-70
Probably will never need them
But with a deep penetration load like a 300 gr solid on the 338 or buffalo bore load on the 45-70
Be enough in a emergency
Of o remember right the last elephant that went on a rampage in fl was taken out by a buch of 308 fmj buy a few leos

It’s to be honest is probably nothing
But we try to be prepared
 
What in the hillbilly is this…

And marlin doesn’t make a 375 ruger, in any rifle.

What a strange rambling post.
Yea sorry
Just of it there a elephant rescue
My buddy going home saw a tree on there fince
He got worried about them getting out bought the 375 r and ammo cheap
I get called by the local law to deal with animals mostly livestock that gets out
The only guns I have that Might be ok for that is a 45-70 or 338 win mag
If there might be a deep penetrating load
It probably will never be a issue I hope
But it has happened before where a elephant got lose and cause problems
Again sorry meds and dyslexia
 
If you really need some help I can be there in a couple of hours! LOL
 
They have elephants in Florida? Interesting. That's an invasive species ... with a capital "I"!
 
Last I saw most of the Florida subspecies are pink!
There a lot of exotic animals in Fl
We usto have a lot of road side animal parks
Some hunting places
And we had circus’s and small fair’s
I know in the past monkeys chimps elephants and big cats have had to be put down
In different parts of the state
 
Can you post pics of this gun I am very interested in seeing it
I can try the next time he brings it out
If I can figure out how to Sind a pic
I Tryed under the what’s the view out of your window post but could not get anything to send
I am not computer savvy the only reason I have a smart phone now is because track phone stopped supporting there older phones
 
I remember seeing signs for those road side attractions years ago. I also remember just east of Tallahassee seeing asiatic water buffalo along I-10, ales wanted to stop and look at them but never did. The buffalo along the interstate weren’t very long ago.

Remember the monkeys at the silver spring jungle boat tour place?
From what I read and heard they are a problem down there
There a silver springs wma I was told you could get in some monkey shooting during small game season
 
Whatever you do, you need to make sure someone gets it on video.

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary
