You guys gotta watch this video

[k-frame]

To paraphrase Bobby Jones after he saw Jack Nicklaus for the first time at Augusta National:

"They play a game with which I am unfamiliar."

 

[RangeDS]

Shooting opulence.

 

[ThePlato]

Pretty classy. I wouldn't mind having a fine suit like that.

 

[BigSteve57]

How about this:

Gold and silver-plated jewel-encrusted guns allegedly owned by drug cartel boss are seized in Mexico

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/pic...by-drug-cartel-boss-are-seized-in-Mexico.html

I deplore drug dealers and the fact that it was drug dealers involved but I do like their guns. I wonder if any of them will come up for auction or if they're being kept for "safe keeping" by the Mexican police.

 

[Mr transformer]

One surprising thing I do have to say is, the price for their ammunition is not that bad at all.

http://www.classicshooting.com/shotgun-ammunition-holland-and-holland-12-gauge.htm

$105 (light loads) to $135 (paper shells) for a flat of 250. Around 50c a piece. Considering they are the classic fiber wad. They also say they are acceptable for vintage firearms.

Their slugs are a bit much at $4.20 a cartridge but their shot cartridges are perfectly reasonable.

 

[1KPerDay]

That is asinine. Truely. They are incredibly beautiful rifles. I'd say possibly the most beautiful i have ever seen. But 155k? You can buy a Ferrari For less than that!

The difference is the gun will still be running in a year.

 

[jcwit]

Whats wrong with having the means of owning a finely, hand engraved, custom made firearm. No different than owning and wearing a Rolex, or driving an expensive Luxury Auto, or buying your wife diamond rings.

After all not everyone can be part of the 1%.

How gauche.

 

[Justin]

Also, the perfect accessory for your H&H sporting guns is a matching Range Rover from Overfinch.

 

[Larry Ashcraft]

You can buy a Ferrari For less than that!

Yes, but your rifle won't need a $25,000 tuneup every 5000 rounds.

 

[threoh8]

1. Aren't all shooting clubs like that?
2. I'm surprised that a Maserati was used, instead of Bently or Aston Martin.
3. Is that Jimmy Kimmel getting fitted for a jacket at 0:56?

 

[camar]

Very interesting video. Then in comes the nanny staters with their noses out of joint to remind us how holier they are than9 thou.
I bet they wear helmets when they go to bed-just in case they fall out.

 

[Lex Luthier]

Wow. Certain elements of that vid were simultaneously fascinating and boring.

Interesting to not that one might acquire a $108,000.00 shotgun from their store in NYC.

 

[Mousegun]

Me redneck shootin' club har in Tennessee is just like that one septin' we wear our most spensive plad shirts (and shorts) and we shoot the guns that grandpappy and dad used to use.

After the hunt, we sip moonshine in mugs just like them fancy folks and Clem tunes up our guns for free. He is sure to use his best hammer and rasp when he does it too.

Our ladys serve up the hogs we git with corn bread and grits and we discuss and solve the prolllems of the world foren' goin' home to the chillen'.

They ain't got nuthin' on us and we git to take our guns home too.

Makes me feel we got a better deal all around.

 

[230RN]

Help:

The drawers and compartments in that Land Rover by Overfinch look like particle board to me.

But that can't be.

Are they some kind of rare wood with a grain pattern like that? I'm not a woodworker, so I'm unfamiliar with wood grain lore.

 

[browneu]

I don't know how someone can shoot skeet without wearing camouflage. Also, where was the bonfire.

 

[heron]

Apparently, they also run a tailor's shop, too . . . guns and clothes made at the same place . . .

. . . and those weren't real Brits in that video -- they all had good teeth.

 

[RangeDS]

Think that's something? Google Overfinch sometime.

Interesting range rovers...check this Undergroundracing send them your $400,000 car and they'll up the HP by 500 for a cool $109k.

 

[p2000sk]

I had read a story years ago here at this site of one of these H&H double shotguns having been recovered by LEO from theft. The barrels had been cut, and rather crudely. It was vivid and quite sad to read. I think that it was returned to the proper owner, and it cost about 40 or 50 grand to re-barrel.

 

[PastorAaron]

Wow. Just wow....
I'm going to have to thank my parents for birthing me here. I too, have a better understanding of the causes of the Revolutionary War.
And I've never gone to church buzzed, but I have preached post op on some POWERFUL pain medications. Man, do we have fun. Gonna be a repeat seeing as how I just had my wisdom teeth yanked
God Bless,
Aaron

 

[friscolatchi]

I wonder what they're asking for a "truncated fowling piece"?

Looks like Turkish Walnut to me...

 

[splithoof]

Guess I will be the first(?) to mention: Most (if not all) the shooters in the video lacked any type of eye protection. Guess their socialized medicine takes care of that stuff.

 

[230RN]

Thanks, HOOfan_1!

Sure could look like particle board from a distance:

No wonder they used that kind of wood. "Finest wood for gunstocks, furniture, etc."

Makes sense, now. Not your local lumberyard plywood, hah?

Of course they're absurd...but they're keeping some extraordinarly fine craftsmen in work. Without the upperclass twits and the Saudi billionaires, who would be building beautiful handmade guns?
Same with the "gentleman yachtsmen." Their money sustains a wooden boatbuilding industry that would otherwise have died out in the fibreglass era.
Once those handed-down skills are lost they're gone for good.
