Just posting a quick pic now . . . I need to offload / edit pics and make a write-up (tomorrow). Excellent afternoon of shooting with Gary in New Windsor . . . weather was perfect.



This was three ~281 grain Barnes Bishops @ 75 yards. I thought I missed shots 2 and 3 -- thought, "gee, that hole might be a little bigger than it was after shot 1," and walked up and found this. Need to get a caliper and measure it, but it's pretty cozy.

That Tundra Mag 45 is a shooter.

I'm glad Jim is pleased with this special Tundra 45 Magnum. I think it's fitting that it remains with a "Jim". James (Jim) Hahn waited for the gun to be made for him, and enjoyed it very, very much. It was all our loss when he passed early. Thru his brother (who is one of our readers here) arrangements were made to pass the gun to another shooter who would appreciate it. I received the rifle, went all through it, brought it up to "as new standards" and proofed it as such. There was no need to go to the general readership. Our admin Jim here, had mentioned this particular Tundra 45 Mag. to me dozens of times. This very gun got him interested in my work. It was a match that was meant to be.

Jim certainly did it proud today. The gun has always been an exceptional shooter, and it proved that once again today. I think Jim will work up to some decent groups if he sticks with it! Whatdoyathink?

Awesome . . . love those big ole billet aircraft aluminum parts. I'll post more pix tomorrow. Thanks Gary . . . had a blast today.

-- Jim

Awesome group Jim! You've got a real treasure there. MORE pictures!

Man ... I hope you appreciate this pic. I wondered where it was. Then realized I'd accidently had my iPhone set on Movie instead of still pic for this. So - I had a movie of this picture. Which met I had to extract a still image from the movie. Booted a movie program which would recognize the format of the iPhone (Quicktime) which Windows Movie maker will not. Had to use Adobe Premier Elements. Load the movie. Then figure what command would extract a single image. Then export that image to a known file. THEN ... load Photoshop to edit and downsize it AND change it's format from a Bitmap to a jpeg. Then load THAT into the Rendezvous program. Took at least a minute! And, here it is.

One of Jim's sloppy groups today. A nice shot and two fliers!





Gary

Great shooting Jim! That one needs a frame for the wall. Any closer and you'd have a lot of doubters about shots 2 and 3. And with a hard kick's 45 Mag to boot.

Glad you met back up with your old sweetheart.

Amazing shooting (shooter and gun). Doesn't get much better than that...

WOW! What else can i say about that group but ........WOW!

Amazing shooting and craftsmanship are 2 other words i could say.

Congratulations Jim on that perfect group! In my opinion that’s the best way to start your path with the Tundra Magnum. By the way, you don’t need a caliper to measure that single hole. Simply use the slug diameter measure and do some math.

I would like to remark that none of this would have been possible if you didn’t have a perfect rifle/barrel/slug combination. Gary, you are the man. This rifle was built from raw materials as well as the mold for the slugs. This is part of what we get when we buy a Barnes’ air gun. The other part is the service and support behind the product.

Have any of you ever wondered what the possibilities to achieve perfection are?

Thank you Julio,

Of course, if you hadn't said all of that ... I'd have had to pout about it. It does get embarrassing to see a grown man whine and fret over being underappreciated. I'm glad you saved us all from that!

Gary

super shooting !

Always liked the Tundra's look....and the way it shoots of course

real "fancy scope" - I'm surprised Gary let you shoot with it - haha

Hi Joebill,

Yeah. He even made me put the scope on the gun! What if somebody saw me ...

what if it's on Video??????
