If i had wealth like Elon, Soros, Gates, then I'd have a budget of probably 500 k per month on firearms, ammo, gear and special stuff. Maybe go the route of running something similar to Black Water and the armaments to run that to include gunships, mortars, artillery, armor support, drones, etc. BUT, my eyes can't justify a $50,000 rifle that isn't a piece of history even if money was nearly endless. Maybe I'd spend more if old, high quality hardwood and engraving with gold inlay or old ivory, best optics especially with thermal and night vision, best suppressors though obviously no sub-sonic ammo, just something to muffle a bit of the sound. Not spending $50,000 to hunt deer either.

A particularly awful weather of freezing rain and snow led to his clients high end Weatherby bolt becoming frozen closed even after taking and missing a shot on an elk. After everyone trying to break it free from the ice they then turned to peeing on it which ended up working but only for one more round.

Making anything from a knife to a big game rifle should be your own. The bond isn’t just your shooting, it’s that it’s made for you, designed for you, fit to you. With that comes confidence, it’s no longer a tool, it becomes a part of your body, a part of your mind and your will.

I lived in England for over 20 years, and during that time, I often went on pheasant hunts. Some of the guys I hunted with would show up in shooting gear that cost upwards of $75,000, and their shotguns-works of art-were easily worth $100,000 or more. My shotgun? It was a simple, used over-and-under 12-gauge that I picked up for $100. I’d toss it over fences, drop it on the ground without a second thought, and take a moment to scratch myself without worrying about it. Now, don't get me wrong-I could have afforded something much more expensive if I wanted to. But the idea of taking a handcrafted, high-dollar shotgun out into the field, just to have it scratched up by thorns or soaked in the rain, never sat right with me. I'd rather have a gun I didn't have to baby, one that could take a beating and still get the job done.

50K for a finely crafted rifle that would be handed down for generations vs. what a Pickup truck cost and how long it would last. Some people like finely crafted things. Split cane fly rods come to mind since I fly fish. While I like my guns with clean lines of just blued steel and a well-fitting stock, something I can shoot and carry hunting is more of my taste, as well as the engraving and inlays that some really like. Ernest Hemingway took a Griffin and Howe Rifle to Africa and wrote The Green Hills of Africa. They had been crafting fine hunting rifles for a very, very long time. What should have been mentioned is how long it takes a person to become that skilled at the craft. Yes is an expensive item, yet when you break it down, it is not really unreasonable either.

My great uncle( grandmoter's brother in law, maaried to my grandmother's sister, my great aunt) was a very wealthy man made tens of millions of dollars bafk in the 1950s - 1970s in construction in Southern California. He was an outdoorsman , one of the first 100 people to climb Mt. Whitney and sign the book twice, for those who don't know Mt. Whitney is just under 15,000 feet elevation, 2 nd highest peak in the lower 48 states. He loved to fish and hunt and taught me to do both. He owned a few different rifles and shotguns if they weren't custom made they were special models top of the line manufacturers. He had custom made rifle for Elk hunting from some Danish company that back in the early 1970s he paid $25,000.00 for. He flew back to Denmark and did all the same things shown in this video. He one of my older cousins who live in Idaho inheritedbthat rifle and a few more to his brother. I got one rifle. Nothing fancy but I was happy to get it. If you have the money and hunting is your thing you already have the caes and the houses the airplane why not the hunting rifles.

Know your history if you work there. Griffin and Howe started in 1923. Same Year as Hoffman arms in Cleveland Ohio I have both from that era.

It’s nice as an art piece, I would put this in the same category as engraved guns. Not something I’d use but just a collectable. I’d rather spend that money on some rare find.

These rifles are like the cars you see at Pebble Beach Concours.

If you have money to burn this rifle makes sense as a family heirloom. It's an example of art and craftmanship at the highest level but at the same time they didn't lose sight of functionality. I hate to say it, but the price seems reasonable considering the skill and time it takes to make it.

And recreate Keith’s 275 grain stable long range using a 275 grain they make Woodleigh would be good .

I dare say the Rolls Royce, or perhaps the Bugatti of rifles is a Ferlach rifle. Their history spans over more than 400 years, and they can cost considerably more than 50k. Perhaps you would like to feature these on your channel?

Wow, if I had 6 figures to brun, I would go to that store. I think just the craftsmanship alone is worth it .

Insanity is what goes into making a $50k rifle... I'm not saying I don't like it but that's f**king crazy!!!

The end price when you first hear it is shocking yes but to put it in perspective that equals out to being $125 Hr. which is actually not bad at all for something so custom made.
