Might not be the biggest KZfaqr in the gun show. But you’ve got character Adam, genuine good god loving family man. And you’ve done a damn fine job sharing knowledge and experience to all of us. Thank you sir, god bless you and your family.

The best two days of my Barrett ownership: the day I bought it, and the day I sold it. It was a fantastic rifle. It just had too many negatives. Ammo cost, weight, muzzle blast, on and on. I actually made 30% when I sold it. I guy made me an offer I couldn't refuse. lol

I've been a shooter and collector for over 50 years, and you're no different than most of us. We've ALL had our regrets and guns which definitely did not live up to the hype. It's part of our journey. However, as a lifelong Sako fan, keep the .500! Great video Brother!

That Sako is a work of art. Man, my hats off to your wife. She shot that .50 like a champ! Great video, thanks!

WOW, YOUR WIFE TOOK THAT 50 LIKE A CHAMP! 👍

I have bought pistols & shotguns that I have regretted buying (maybe we all have) but never a rifle.

That Sako was gorgeous! I heard the bolts on sakos and Tikas are like butter..about as smooth as you can get for a factory rifle..

I can justify every firearms purchase I’ve ever made. There are some that are completely impractical and many that do exactly what another does but have a slightly unique feature that makes them indispensable. Collecting is a hobby that sneaks up on you and becomes a lifestyle. Every one of my acquisitions was made with the caveat that I can sell this to get that, or that i can thin the herd if i get too many, or trade ‘up’ to the next best version. What I’ve learned over the last 15 years? I haven’t sold any, I won’t thin the herd and I can’t trade one for another. I can justify every firearms purchase I’ve ever made. I appreciate your channel Mr. Who. Cheers.

😊how about a throw back paper plate video, 50BMG vs 500Jefferies?

The vapor trail/heat mirage from the bullet curved the light and made it look like the deers neck flexed away from the bullet like the matrix... crazy $#!T

Bought a Ptr-91 to retire my model 94 in 30-30 from hog service. Thing doesn’t group worth a damn. Tried everything from 150gr all the way to 200gr bullets. Tried acc 2495, benchmark and even wasted some varget. No matter what I try it hates everything except the 200gr eld with varget. That gets me a 2 inch group at 50 yards. $1400 for a 4 moa rifle at best is the grandest heartbreak of gun buying I’ve ever experienced. Not to mention all the components wasted.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

I gotta agree, 338 forsure. 50 cal is a waste of money.

Great video, always good to knock the dust of some of your older guns. Love the stories!

I picked up the same savage 338 Lapua you have. I lucked out and found mine on clearance at academy back in February 2020. about 1/2 price.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Awesome video, Brother. Thanks again for sharing. I appreciate you sharing. I remember seeing 50 cal video.

How she took that recoil like a Champ! Plus love the shirt! Pauls a legend!

That Sako is a beaut. I've always liked their rifles but have never owned one. I don't think I've ever had a gun I regretted buying, but I have definitely had some slip away through selling or not buying that I regret.

Thanks for the show n tell ,Great vid !! 🦆🦆🦆

Keep up the great content!

Enjoyed the video very much. Thank you for been real!

Pretty cool toys dude! Thanx for the vid.

Oh wow. That 500 Jeffery is an absolute beauty of a gun!!! Never heard of one before! Thanks for sharing.

The 500 Jeffery would be a cool reloading project. Build some reduced loads for it. You can down load that thing with the appropriate bullet and charge for deer. Not to mention the cost per round goes way down.

Love the way you talk,you are a hoot to listen to.thanks dude 👍🤠

I remember all the videos with those! I especially liked the fruit one with the 50 bmg! I think you should go long range shooting with it!🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲 Proverbs 3:5-6 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Wow 😲...Awesome looking and performing Rifles Adam 👍. Thanks for sharing 👌. Cheers and God 🙏 Bless ✝️💛.

I have the same two but I don’t regret either purchase. My M99 has a S&B scope and my 110 BA’s MDT stock is now an HS Precision. I actively reload for both.

Just a thought to bring the Barret back... Tanerite. Now hear me out... Tanerite works on the velocity of the projectile, so stack up a couple cans and a sufficient distance and let'r'eat lol

That Sako in .500 Jeff is real nice!!!

Great show mate. keep the 500 sako mate its a beautiful rifle.

Man, its crazy how time flies, i remember when you got the Savage .338 lapua, didnt realize its been that long!. That Sako is a beautiful gun!, i dont know if you can, but it would be cool to see what it would do to a whitetail.

Great video, thank you!!

Best in the business, thanks for sharing

Great video Hootey. My problem isn’t regretting the guns that were exy. My regrets have always been the ones I sold! I had an entire Sako collection that I decided to sell because there was so much coin in these that just were never getting used. The irony is that today I have more guns than I ever have!!! I remember the Sako 85 500 Jeffrey video you made and always wondered what happened to that. Again great video and thanks for sharing! 🙏

G'day from Australia mate love your vids

been here sincew 2018 love every video look forward to the next

I remember all these guns and they're a big part of how I came to love your channel, you might regret them but I'm really glad you got them and showed all of us what they can do!

Awesome guns, all cool high dollar guns, I could probably never buy, enjoy watching you and others launching these really big bore calibers. - W. Liggett

Maybe it's time to find that Barrett a new owner? It's certainly made some great videos for you. (The watermelon shot is awesome).

That sako is crazy beautiful I love your videos keep up the great work thanks brother 🇺🇸👍

I like how you talk about your mindset on doin youtube , and how well you make it personable.

I knew from the beginning that the .50 BMG was the one you regret. I remember when you got it, and how you had hoped to get all these views that never came. I remember when you decided to retire the .338 Lapua from appearing on the channel for the most part. And, of course, when you mentioned that there was one you forgot that 's more expensive than the .338, I knew it was the elephant gun. Just been following your channel for that long. Not even sure how long it's been. I missed you at NRA Indianapolis in 2023, and in 2019.

When my son bought his first rifle that cost him more than a few hundred bucks. He didn’t realize he was going to need a good scope. He put a cheap scope on. So I surprised him with a crimson trace hardline pro. I’m not much of a gun nut but glass I will definitely look into heavily. As a bowhunter glass is very important to me. I came across the hardline pro and he loves it

👍 Thumbs up to your wife for shooting the 50 BMG Great video

You should try building a rifle for competition! The goal is to have a 20 LB rifle for F class Hi-power. I built one on the Winchester M70 action, with a McMillan fiberglass stock, and a 3 oz trigger. It cost me $3K in 2001.

love the shirt

Love all your videos even miss the Wifey Wednesday vids.

hey WHO-TEE-WHO MY FRIEND , I just loved the whole video ON THESE beautiful firearms and would not get rid of any!! Thank you for sharing this great video!!!

Water jugs and big splashes is Who Tee Who, so let’s see a 55 gallon drum of water long ways with all three. 😳

i guessesd right on each and every gun in this video .Been watching you for years my fav youtuber keep doing what you doing . Respect from South Africa..

Nice shirt!

That Sako is absolutely beautiful sir, cheers Yogi 🤙✌️

I actually only know of the sako cause of a hunting game I play lol. That's awesome that you have one!

my most expensive rifle is my psa ak gf3 lol cool video WTW!!

Awesome as always....

Wow Adam your wife took that 50 cal like a Trooper '' Another Great Video 💯Many Thanks Max 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

The reason you didn’t get a bunch of views is your targets. Most of the other Guntubers are shooting armor, bullet proof glass, engine blocks and stuff that the average person can get a hold of. I love your channel I have never hunted deer and I use your channel to build knowledge for that.

Great video

Cool story! Casually sipping coffee here.

it picked up that hat like it was putting it on...hahahahahahaa That Sako packed a punch...your lucky you did not get whiplash...lol

When your friend tells the shop, "I know someone who will buy that oddball rifle that he absolutely doesn't need."

Same lol mine is FDE brown though and same I’ll never get rid of it . Lord it’s heavy

So I have been thinking about your question around video ideas. You have a decent collection of firearms now and one thing I have been interested in recently is how different of the shelf ammo performs in various firearms. I'm not even a hunter and I find the information very interesting. It might be interesting to do a series on "what does it like to shoot?" for your various Boo-lot slingers!

The Harbor Freight Apache, Pelican cases are nice too

We all know the best guns are the ones you shoot. I have a lot of nice guns but my 20ga. Stevens 301 turkey is the gun I shoot the most. From hunting to critter control.

Yep wild I pulled the pin. On them now bit of fishing and detecting. Lol ya need a tank season how to stalk a 🐆 leopard tank and hope for the best.

You should do a video series hunting deer or hog with all the extreme calibers you have.

Those are all awesome rifles. Would not regret buying any of them. You’re lucky you can take them to them to the range. I go to a public range for one reason, to BS with other people who like to shoot. It’s very rare I’ll a “standard or average” firearm with me. I have enough private land if I just want to shoot. So I always take big bores. 338 lapua, 45/70, 500, 460.. etc. If the range isn’t busy they will let me shoot the 338 lapua but that the max they allow. If it is busy I cannot shoot it.

I was saying NOoooo! I guess i understand the weight is to much, but what if it was the same as a 338? The ammo choices with BMG are a lot better and the price for ammo is actually good.

Good work, WTW!

Enjoyed this one but I think I need to go see my chiropractor after watching you shot that 500 Jefferies. Appreciate you sharing these. The 338 Lapua might be the only one I could afford but the cost per bullet is a deterrent. I'd have to pick up a second job just to buy ammo.

Hey, at least you have a .50 Barrett. Regrets and all it still is yours. Bet you got a ton of giggles out of it. No matter what, don't ever get rid of it. Great video, as always, WTW.

I flinched every time that. 500 Jeffery went off

I never regret watching 👀!👍💯😎

Nice very nice. I think you have a very good investment! Thanks and take care

You should check out the Browning BAR mk3 DBM in 308.

Good video. I'd like to have seen one of the 500 Jeffries shells. I've never even heard of it.

I loved this video. I could listen to you talk forever. I sure feel less guilty about buying a fourteen hundred dollar gun with a thousand dollar suppressor. Thanks!

Guess I'm a longtime follower. I remember all those purchases. Esp the 50bmg when the wife took a crack and the 500 big Jeffery! WTW!

Never really regretted buying a gun, I have definitely regretted selling some.

My regrets are the ones I didn't buy. I could have bought a Mossberg Super Goose 10 gauge with a 38" barrel at a really cheap price, but talked myself out of it because of the cost of ammo if one could even find any and where would I use it, but it was so cool. A regular Jed Clampett viddles getter. Dang it

Like that .50!

The Jeffrey would be interesting to take for bison or grizzly.

That 500 Jeff. is awesome. I bet that dude would turn a tennessee whitetail inside out.

Whotee, I remember when barret came out and A big gun store and range from my home town got them in and they were $850 for single shot & $1200 for the 5rd mag ones, how things have changed.

The only gun i regret buying is the Bioto SxS tactical coach gun, the price was nice, it was fun for a bit but now it is just a safe queen. I have tried to sell it but I get a few dodgy types ringing up asking if its registered or email scammers wanting my bank details to send payment without asking about the gun (alarm bells!) so it will likely end up at the gun shop sold on the cheap for a trade in. Love your work mate🦘

I remember the lime green ranger convertible,,,,that you would actually shoot,,,😁💪👍

With all the rifles you have, do a video of what you would keep if you sold off your collection. Everything from ccw, small game, duck, turkey, deer, bear, boar, bison, sniper, "operator" etc.

I really like the exotic stuff you share. Do you have any straight pull bolts ? I think those are really cool. I've never seen one only online from this German guy.

Oh man brown beat hunt with the 500 Jeffrey would be awesome

I think everyone who collects firearms probably has at least a couple impractical ones that we spent too much on. In my case, I console myself with the fact that my biggest regret continues to increase in value, so I could sell it at a profit if necessary. But I generally don’t ever sell guns unless I have concerns about a firearm’s reliability.

Hey Adam... I tried to send you what ended up being an overly long text regarding both the .500 Jeffrey and your .50 Bmg Barrett... and whether or not you (or someone you know) reloaded for the.50 Bmg? It also mentioned that both the importer (Huntington) and the company that makes the best fmj projectiles on the planet... recently was involved in a wildfire that burned the company manufacturing facilities to the ground and the loss was too extensive for them to recover from! On top of that there have been several very serious medical issues that have precluded any trigger time or even reloading for close to 2 years. You have been an inspiration in more ways than you know for many of us. The 2nd point of the text had to do with doing a paper plate test (or other medium)...to see how they compare). P.S. I have mentioned before that I developed a wildcat .50/416 Rigby that has a case capacity that is almost identical to that of the Jeffrey round and I was able to easily reach muzzle energies from 10,000 - 12,000 ft. lbs., In a 32" barreled railgun that I designed for it! It has the advantage of being compatible with actions and bolt faces that are designed for the Lapua! Your Jeffrey is a treasure that's not even breathing hard reaching 7,000 ft. lbs., though for obvious reasons I'm pretty sure that you feel that it's more than enough! Thanks for all you do and let me know if I can be of help! (P.S.: Your 'we Tried Everything' video with the .50 versus the .75" AR500 plate was responsible for a lot of tests with a .300 RUM that was eye opening and it was my favorite of all your videos. It also set a benchmark for comparisons across U-tube!

Hands down that sako is gorgeous

I must say, I miss the clay blocks!😮❤❤❤

No Regerts! Haha

WoW! In my younger days :)

JEEZ LOUISE! Adjusted for inflation that Barrett is probably worth about 3 Tikkas and a Laugo Alien. As long as you don't have any sentimental attachment or plan on keeping it as a nostalgia piece, I'd say sell it.

Hoot, I understand why, but I wouldn’t regret purchasing the Barrett! Why not? Because dude, you own a Barrett .50cal!!! lol Love that Savage though.
