I have seen an article posted here (I think) on a stolen FA 500 Wyoming. In the article the author (I can't remember who) discussed a conversation with J D Jones concerning this caliber. I would like to know what J D thought.

My friend from Ohio does not think much of it. I respect his opinion, but also respect J D's. I, too, am "kinda in heat" for one.

The article is under recent articals - catagory Guns & Shooting. It was writen by Gregg Richter 2009-02-09 13:16:10.
Hope that helps. It periodically shows on the sidebar.

Thanks.

Gregg has a couple of articles on the 500 here. It's certainly not for everyone because of the recoil.

Recoil goooood!!!!!! Big thump even better!!!!!

wtroper,

In my article, "STOLEN FREEDOM ARMS MODEL 83"

http://www.handgunhunt.com/promo/members...MS%20MODEL%2083

I state:

"I had been lusting after a Freedom Arms Model 83 in .500 Wyoming Express ever since I talked to JD Jones about it on the 2006 HHI Antelope Hunt. It was merely conversation about that gun vs. the S&W 500, which I already owned."

And in my article:

".500 WYOMING EXPRESS: FUN GUN, STRICTLY BUSINESS,
OR KNUCKLE-BUSTING BULLY?"

http://www.handgunhunt.com/promo/members...OMING%20EXPRESS

I give my perspective on the gun and the cartridge. This article may help answer some of your unasked questions.

Take care.

Gregg

Then try a 15" 416 Rigby with wooded grips shooting a 350 TSX over 105 H4831sc. You'll get recoil, and thump enough to remember it.
