1. Remington 700 Sendero in .25-06. w/custom made muzzle brake. a real tack driver using the 115 grain ballistic silvertip from Win
2. Mosin Nagant 91/30 (7.62 x 54R) w/PU scope.... very accurate
3. .45/70 Cimarron Arms, Billy Dixon Model 1874 Sharps Sporting Rifle 32"Octagon barrel...it can really reach out and touch 'em! (FYI..The Billy Dixon story....It was June 27, 1874 at Adobe Walls on the Canadian River in the Texas panhandle. Young Billy Dixon and 27 buffalo hunters were surrounded by more than 500 Kiowa and Comanche warriors. The Kiowa medicine man told the warriors that his medicine made them invisible to the bullets of the white-eyes. When Dixon fired his Sharps sporting rifle and knocked a Kiowa from his horse at 1538 yards (7/8 mile) the Indians departed with haste. The Kiowa medicine man was quirted to death. The shot was later measured by a Government surveyor working in the area. Billy Dixon lived on to be awarded the Medal of Honor while acting as a scout in the Army for Gen. Nelson Miles. Later in life he served as a peace officer in the Texas panhandle, near the place that made him famous.
(What makes the shot even more astonishing is the fact that, the shot was made with a borrowed rifle!)
