This is a rifle that I use to shoot deer out to and in excess of 1,000 yards...


This T/C Contender handgun has taken more deer past 500 yards than it has less than 500 yards...


This rifle was built specifically for shooting deer out to 1,000 yards...


This rifle was also built for deer at 1,000 yards...

personally, i'm a lot more impressed by responsible hunters
 
how is it hunting at 1000 yards? Why not just call in the airforce or the artillery - then you can kill the deer from even further away...

Im sorry, Im not trying to scare away any new members, but that just doesnt seem right - I could stand up and wave my arms at a deer from that far away and it would just look at me and go back to eating. Shooting that far would certainly be challenging, but shots that long are waaay to risky to be fair to the game - they ARE living creatures, and deserve to be respected as such.
 
sorta have to agree with the others, what would the circumstances be that you would be taking a 1000 yd shot at a deer?? where do you live the plains of africa??

just saying, the goal should always be one shot one kill, to take the animal as quick and cleanly as possible and at long range the chances of wounding and not being able to find you game increases very much.

I could not even imagine wounding a animal at that range and then trying to track it, hell its already got a 1000 yd head start. Ive seen animals taken at
-50 yds that ran far enough to make it semi-hard to find em.
 
I'm with krochus. I shoot in 1,000 yard competition pretty regularly. If the winds shifts direction or changes speed by just 2 - 3 mph, you just missed the deer or placed your shot in a less-than-lethal part of the deer. To say nothing about ranging the distance EXACTLY, so you don't overshoot or undershoot.

Hey, nice pic's. Where did you copy them from anyway?

Seriously though, if you arn't just pull'in everyones leg then you don't own any of those.
 
Hey Y'all,

Let's give him a break and welcome D&T here. If y'all click on each of the posted photos, you'll get the orginal link from where it was posted at: www.hunt101.com. They appear to all be his firearms and I am glad that they are not called "Sniper" rifles.

By all appearances, D&T is a gunsmith capable of building 1,000 yard rifles and the wildcat rounds to shoot out of them. I wouldn't mind owning some of the rifles in his gallery.

Like most of you, I do personally question the need to harvest game at such distances but am hoping D&T will come back and tell us the purpose of his rifles.
 
Yes, I am a RIFLESMITH and have been building rifles and hunting handguns since 1983...

No, I do not have to shoot deer at 1,000 yards or even at 100 yards but I do anyways because I have the knowledge, skills, range and know how to pull off those kinds of shots...

No, I have never lost a deer or wounded one that I have shot at long range and I am a very firm believer in the one-shot-one-kill parctiice...

I live in Northeastern Oklahoma where I have plenty of places to shoot at very long range and have a 1,000 yard range that I shoot at on a regular basis...

I did not post over here to be belittled. I just thought somw of you guys might be interested in seing a couple of different custom built rifles, nothing more nothing less...

My website is www.dandtcustomgunworks.com if you want to see some of things I do. One of my rifles was in a recent VARMINT HUNTERS MAGAZINE that they diid a write up on. I also built T/C Encore barrels that are 1.250" in diameter for extreme accuracy shooting with a break open single shot...

If my pictures or my shooting abilities offend you guys, then I'm sorry....

Think about it, You join this forum and immediately post a bunch of pics of high end rifles that you claim to use on game at 1000yds. You didn't think you'd come across as just another mall ninja.


Now if you would have taken time to introduce yourself and give a little bit of background info your thread would have received a completely different reaction. But instead your first posting was a boastful and borderline unbelievable lesson on self glorification.

IF you walked up to a complete stranger at a gunshop boasting the same things you have here they wouldn't believe you either
 
Krochus,

point taken...

You are correct, I should have taken a different approach. I see what you mean....

Welcome D&T,

Glad you came back and hope you stay a while. Thanks for giving us a little of your background.

It is very easy for us to be skeptical of people's postings since this a free forum, we do get our share of SNIPERZ and SEELS...

Nice work.
 
The top rifle is a 6mm-284. If you would like a complete list of the specs, just ask....

the guns look great, and i'm sure you're a fantastic shooter and a great gunsmith. it's still irresponsible to hunt at those distances.
 
Krochus,

the T/C Contender is chambered for a "rimmed" 250 Savage Ackley Improved that is based on the full length 307 Winchester case necked down to .25 caliber...

The barrel is one that I made and is one of my BARREL STUBS. A BARREL STUB is where I take a factory barrel and cut it back to a total length of 3.0". I then take this STUB and internally bore, ream and thread it. I then take a match grade stainless steel barrel blank and thread and chamber it and screw it into the BARREL STUB. I cut the extractor slot, crown the barrel and finish it out...

Contender barrels are .810 in diameter but this barrel in front of the STUB is 1.200" in diameter with a muzzle diameter of .900....

i've never heard of that stub thing. what do you gain by doing that? it sounds like it costs two barrels
