anybody have one of the Davidsons limited 85's?

Been tossing around the idea of getting one...........for whatever reason I do not know.

Thanks a lot!!!! You got me to looking at Davidson's, a very dangerous place to go looking if you're weak. Saw the gun you mentioned, a lot of bucks, but you only live once. But it gets me to asking myself as to WHY, oh Why, do I think I need a Remington Model 750 rifle in 35 Whelen? Saw that they have 3 carbines, 6 rifles, (They're almost out of stock!)Your post has got me all messed up now, for the rest of the day. Got to go take a pill fast!!.

lol. I did have a BPCR in 45-70 once, that gun would flatout shoot everything you put in it.

Then I see these and get to thinking about punching one out to 50-140!!

Dunno, it is a bit of ole jingle, but your right, only live once.

Al,
they are all sold now-- kicked around getting one and having it converted to 50-140 but did not get it done.

Mike, good to hear from you.

I see them on the auction sites every now and then, figure I'd wait till somebody got bored with theirs...............................like that would ever happen

I shoot a 50/90 SHILOH SHARPS LONG RANGE EXPRESS with a 34 inch barrel, that weights almost 14 pounds. a 620+ lead bullet and 95 grains of GOEX CARTRIDGE black powder. I shoot it at home and at the QUIGLEY RIFLE SHOOT in Forsyth Montana in June.

One of my pals at Quigley shoots a 50/140 that weights about 11 pounds. He uses a 550 grain paper patched bullet and 140+ grains of black powder. He hits with it, but he's not popular to shoot near. You can develop a flinch by just being on the firing line with him, but there isn't much problem with dust or rattle snakes near where he shoots!

Oh, 50/90 empties are about $1.50 each....50/140 run about $3 if you can find them.

Horsepower costs cash! Not too much to pay for the fun!

Guys, that rifle weighs less than ten pounds. It will kick the snot out of you in 50-90. In 50-140, it will kick you loose from your fillings!

Call me a wimp if you want to, but I wouldn't shoot a rifle that light in 50-140!

Couldn't be any worse than my 8 pound 470 capstick or Al's 50-110 lever gun!
