Family Photo Day! (Gun Pics)

[js8588]

I spent the better part of the day attempting to sell my Super Vepr 308 to scrounge together the funds for a Vepr 12 before they're all gone. I don't relish the idea of selling her, but I REALLY have the jones for a box fed semi auto 12 guage that's built like a tank.

I came home, defeated. Resigned to maybe, possibly make due with a Catamount Fury or even a Weatherby SA 459 at some juncture in the future. But, you know? It's moments like this that make us appreciate what we already have. I decided to take the kids out and post a few pictures for ya'll here at THR. Really can't say I'm sorry that I'm "stuck" with my Super Vepr.

Feel free to post your own pics below

How's that circuit judge shoot? I got all jacked out of shape when I heard about it being built but when I saw that it was double action I was heartbroken. It's growing on me, and I'm interested in competent reviews.

The circuit judge is actually the first gun I bought. Shooting double action, I can keep all 5 shots on a paper plate at 100 yards. I lent her to a friend for a hunting trip this past weekend. Using leverevolution ammo, he got a 4 inch group at 150 yards. He said its his new favorite gun. Ymmv.

Update: I have a Vepr 12 on Layaway at Atlanticfirearms.com. just have to find a buyer for the Super Vepr at a fair price. I have 45 days. Good to have the pressure off.

Is that a stainless M70 Alaskan? What caliber?

Because weather shouldn't stop you.

Sorry you did say family pic. Here's my family of AR's to date:

A dedicated CMMG 22 LR Upper on a New Frontier poly lower with a fixed 4x, A Colt 6920 with a Hakko 4x electrodot, and a Model One 16 inch Varmint kit on a Noveske lower with a Burris 536 Prism sight.

Highpower,

awesome collection...and I imagine you're not done yet.

 

[highpower]

I imagine you're not done yet.

I don't think you are ever "done". The Colt SP1 is a recent acquisition and it has sparked a desire to get a AR15-A1.

I have more odd and ends that I didn't picture, but since they are mostly S&W's, I decided not clutter up the thread with them.

 

[js8588]

I'd like to think there will be a point where I'm "done"...I'd like to think that, but I know better.
