Back about 9-10 years ago my boss at the time had Hickman Rifles re barrel a gun in .700 NE. I remember ammo was something like $15 per round and not many wanted to test fire it.Originally Posted by rondog

That's a gorgeous rifle Brian. The furniture is absolutely high end on that thing.
So, what do you plan to shoot with that? Incoming meteors?

Ginsue's Feedback
I took my grandson in there once to show him what really nice guns look like. They had a $60,000 shotgun that I didn't even want to get close to. Places like that with those kinds of prices make me very nervous, I'm scared to death I'll knock something over and break it.
I grew up in Enid, OK, and when I was 14 or so I used to hang around at Champlin Firearms. They hand-made high-end guns like that, double rifles and all kinds of exotic shotguns and safari type guns. At 14 I didn't really understand all that, but I remember they made some beautiful guns.
They were friendly and nice to me, just a snot-nosed hangaround kid. I remember they had a rack full of stock blanks of very exotic imported woods, blew my mind when the guys told me how much just the wood blanks alone were worth, and this was around 1970-71.
A kid I went to school with and was friends with, his dad worked there. He went on to becoming a custom gunmaker, named Clayton Nelson. A couple years ago I saw one of his rifles in a display case at the Bass Pro Shops custom gun room here in Denver. Big bucks. I have tremendous respect for high-end firearms like that, but I'm much too redneck for them.
I just did a quick Google search, and apparently this is one of Clayton Nelson's rifles. I'd be scared to even look at something like this, let alone touch it.
so, apparently from what I read, they actually aren't bad rifles. There are some bad ones, but that's true in any make.
the fancier engraved ones run about 5 grand
BUT
they are ONLY carried at Cabela's. You want one, you gotta go to cabela's
There's a real nice 450-400 for sale on accuratereloading forums.
MW Reynolds is awesome. Very nice folks, all that inventory and you can just browse, prices are fair. not great, not ridiculous, but fair. They have some really nice stuff.
Also an AYA dealer.

JohnR: You don't fuck around. Please excuse my language. So is that thing one of those .22/.410 bore things?
Rondog: Your comments remind me of the time I was casually working for some friends I have that move pianos. When you move a piano, you turn it on it's side, take the legs off, and push it around on a cart. They kept making fun of me all day long because I would leave my hand on the piano because I was afraid to let it sit on its own while it was on its side. We were in the process of moving a USED 9' baby grand into the Walnut down in Denver when they told me that the piano was probably currently valued at around $100,000. I about crapped myself and said, "And you're having me push this thing around on this cart?!" I had no idea how much nice pianos cost.

Cabelas isn't badly priced, but bass pro is ridiculously high priced. We're not talking 50 bucks, we're talking 10 to 20 grand.
go to MW Reynolds
You can actually get into nice English/European shotguns for ONLY about 5 grand.
