Here is my first 2 grays with "Baby Sister" My 40 cal early virginia I built this year. Notice they aint head shots but come to think of it Im a bad shot an could have went hungry

Yes sir,I got the pictures and thank you for sending them. Our first Dachshund was a little red one
that looked like Sam. I named him Rommel.We had him for 13 years before he passed away and we
were way too attached to him but our current one "gretl" is also a neat liitle critter even if she is a
bone head at times.

I think the hard headedness is bred into them, they just will not give up, or quit.

@ Wattlebuster, if there's no squirrels around you can just admire the rifle! looks great.

Dogshirt, that's a terrible tragedy losing your home and possessions. Thankfully everyone survived okay.

Dogshirt · « **Reply #56 on:** October 25, 2012, 03:27:35 AM »

Only casualty was Otto, hunting on the run the day after the fire, and ran right through a hot spot.
Burned between two toes and singed the hair on all paws, but it didn't slow him down! It's that hard head again!

Great color on the wood Wattlebuster. Hope to build a squirrel rifle next and soon.

my critter gitter has put on some pounds since he recently lost his acorns and also is 7 years (my how time flies) old this month.

Here's mine, .40, 42" GM barreled Bedford. Been out for squirrels once with it, but so far it's killed more deer than limb rats. Hope to remedy that later in the season...

my mother in law used to say you should have at least 6 dachsunds so when you called them, maybe 1 would come. mark

Holy Cow Taylor. That's Awesome! Beautiful Rifle.........

Thank you...had a group of Girl Guides out at the range yesterday, shooting her.

Osprey · « **Reply #64 on:** November 05, 2012, 08:07:07 PM »

Girl Guides?! You Canucks so far out in the boonies you gotta hire an outfitter to help you find women?!

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #65 on:** November 06, 2012, 02:00:10 AM »

Quite the opposite Osprey. Here's a couple of pics of the young lady that was in moose camp this fall - the moose she shot the day before I got mine, and of her caping out my trophy. She is a taxidermist from Switzerland and will be doing a full head mount of my moose. I'm making her a nice Jaeger rifle in .60 cal. as part of the trade.

D. Taylor Sapergia · « **Reply #66 on:** November 06, 2012, 02:01:28 AM »

...we now return you to your thread. Sorry ( a little).

Keb · « **Reply #67 on:** November 10, 2012, 04:15:51 PM »

Jeeze. How do you top that? I've posted many of Salvo's guns before but I'm gonna do it again.
.25 cal built by Salvo. Walnut, forged iron parts, L&R Manton, Rayl rifled barrel. Shoots great but it's a bugger to clean.

I was gonna post pictures of the "Ultimate Squirrel Gun" but I won't bore you all with it again.
It's the .20 cal. smoothbore with an ash stock. :/

edited to fix pictures 7/5/19

Daryl · « **Reply #68 on:** November 10, 2012, 07:16:39 PM »

Keb- a .20 calibre smoothbore?- not a 20 bore, but a .20 cal. smoothbore? Is it perhaps a smooth rifle, with both front and rear sights, or is it for shot?

Keb · « **Reply #69 on:** November 11, 2012, 03:27:58 PM »

It has a .200" bore. Shoots a .17 pellet or BB. It does have sights, both front & rear. The barrel is sleeved with a total of 4 pieces of tubing. Salvo touted it as the "Ultimate Squirrel Gun" and he shot it indoors as well as outdoors. :/

Daryl · « **Reply #70 on:** November 12, 2012, 01:28:32 AM »

Gamo sells .177 pure lead round balls as well as .22 cal round lead balls. They must be available in the States as well.

Sleeved with 4 pieces of tubing? one inside of the other or 4 lengtwise?

And how much powder per charge?

Keb · « **Reply #73 on:** November 13, 2012, 04:31:00 PM »

Sleeved as in a small tube in a bigger tube x 4. I'd say 10-15 gr. 3f if I was to shoot it would be sufficient. I've not shot it only because I don't want to clean it. :/

Long John · « **Reply #74 on:** November 22, 2012, 02:41:56 AM »

Here is mine, although I browned the barrel since the photos were taken. That shiney barrel was not good for hitting a mark!

It is 36 caliber, inspired by RCA 65.

It is good for everything up to and including coyotes.

Best Regards,

John Cholin
