Strut10 Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Re: The few...the proud...The OTPG!!!!!!! Am I getting warmer, AJ???? "I have a Rem 721 that I blueprinted that is going to become a .338 RUM. It will be my long range thumper. I have a Sendero stock waiting for the barreled action to rest in. Its got a sweet trigger from the days when they came from the factory that way." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Re: The few...the proud...The OTPG!!!!!!! Nope, I still have that action in my toolbox, along with another blueprinted long action Rem 700, but both will take quite a bit of machining to feed the RUM cartridges. I am thinking about a factory version. If I can find the version I want. Its not made anymore so it will have to be a used one. Like I mentioned, it would have to be just right (model) for me to squeeze the trigger and get another magnum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Re: The few...the proud...The OTPG!!!!!!! Ewwwwwwwwww, there is no room in my safe for that! Lets just say, it eats a lot of powder and factory ammo is expensive! I checked it out today at Sportsman's Warehouse and it was like $97/box of 20 cartridges. We'll have to wait and see it I ever find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tped Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Re: The few...the proud...The OTPG!!!!!!! All in good fun but while it is true that you can use smaller guns to accomplish the same thing and it is fine to do so but sometimes you have to do what you want to do. I have yet to kill anything with my 416 or 458 and one of the years I'm taking one of these guns deer hunting in good "ol PA to shoot an 80 lb doe - why? Because I want to and I can!

bowana Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: The few...the proud...The OTPG!!!!!!! What do you know about the 577 TYREX. Anyone heard of it? Lets put it this way, the 460 Weatherby mag generates about 112 lbs of recoil at the shoulder. The 300 Win Mag generates about 55 lbs. The 577 TYREX (yea, named after the big ugly reptile from long ago) generates 145!!!! I'm thinking a Ruger Tropical. Once had one 450 Ackley. Great Gun. Traded it........wished I hadn't!!!!!

Strut10 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: The few...the proud...The OTPG!!!!!!! Here's a good read on the 577 T-Rex. However, you're a bit off on your recoil figure for the .300 Win Mag........by about 20 ft/lbs. 55 ft/lbs is more in the 338 RUM, 375 Magnum range.
