Why are there “chili beans” then? Hmm?

You should know that being that you're from TX....the home of a "Bowl of Red"

They are there to give to the Yankees for when they make sub-par chili

Yes…chili is meat and chili con carne is a redundant statement

Just to ask a question…. Not my rifle, but over the years, I have handled some lovely takedown guns from the likes of Holland And Holland and Rigby. And their barrels all fit in place with very light hand pressure.

Some have interrupted threads that “ramp” into position and lock. Some, like this one, screw in.

These guns tend to be very accurate (commensurate with their pedigree and price tag) at least in the context of big (and small) game hunting. They also use some very large calibers!!!

Now no one is shooting them 1000 yards. Or all day to the tune of 100’s of rounds. And you are talking about accuracy that was for big game hunting (the ‘guide test’ given to the hunters in safari was often hitting their empty 4”x4” British cigarette package at 50 yards… typically open sights.) So we are talking minutes wildebeest here.

But curious how this technology does or does not contribute to the (excellent) discussion?

Cheers!

PS. Yes, I am asking Fudd questions here… but engineering fascinates me!

Two images of the Rigby takedown system.

I have handled one of these and the barrel locks in with quite minimal effort. The pin on the forend locking it in place.

Cheers, Sirhr

"Beans on the side". Promptly dumped into the chili bowl.

Honestly think we are asking for more now, but also think that rifle is nearly a lost art.
We've gone both forward and backwards.

Well I think we’re at the point of chili is with or without beans.
