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
Might not be the biggest UA-camr 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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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! 🙏
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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..
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!!!
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
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.
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.
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!
@@WHOTEEWHO A few of yours were in the mix of videos I've seen come up in recommendations (older videos), but I hadn't noticed any recently. That said haven't been subscribed for all that long. I will dig through your archives! Had been busy catching up on some of Paul's old videos...
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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.
Hey who the who great video but I felt like I had to inform you of something I'm unsure if you've heard of this before or if you currently owned one but if you don't I know how much you love going to tolliver's and buying good boom sticks well if you want a humdinger of a boomstick look for the dp-12 double barrel shotgun that thing is stupid smooth very functional and an absolute pleasure to shoot
I had that same gun about 7 or 8 years ago and had Leopold $5 to 20 on it I believe and it kept dropping the shell half inch coming out of the action sending the Savage and they said that's the way it was supposed to be and they never did anything. I ended up getting rid of the gun

That Sako is a work of art. Man, my hats off to your wife. She shot that .50 like a champ! Great video, thanks!
Thanks for watching
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..
😊how about a throw back paper plate video, 50BMG vs 500Jefferies?
For some reason I love seeing the paper plate videos. I wish he would do all his new calibers
Problem is you would need to park a car infront of the stack of plates!!
I think he did one with BMG vs 338 Lapua on plates
@js7127 naw, 2000 plates and 3 to 5 55gallon drums of water😊
I have bought pistols & shotguns that I have regretted buying (maybe we all have) but never a rifle.
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
WOW, YOUR WIFE TOOK THAT 50 LIKE A CHAMP! 👍
She did but it also looked like she rethought her life at the end 😂. That rifle kicked!

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.
Awesome
Hair trigger….
Great video, always good to knock the dust of some of your older guns. Love the stories!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thanks for watching!
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!
I gotta agree, 338 forsure. 50 cal is a waste of money.
Thanks for the show n tell ,Great vid !! 🦆🦆🦆
Love the way you talk,you are a hoot to listen to.thanks dude 👍🤠
Thanks for watching!
Wow 😲...Awesome looking and performing Rifles Adam 👍. Thanks for sharing 👌. Cheers and God 🙏 Bless ✝️💛.

Best in the business, thanks for sharing

Great video, thank you!!
Thanks for watching!!!
Love the brutal honesty and story of how you got what and why. Its great and understandable.
Thanks for watching
Great show mate. keep the 500 sako mate its a beautiful rifle.
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
Oh wow. That 500 Jeffery is an absolute beauty of a gun!!! Never heard of one before! Thanks for sharing.

I like how you talk about your mindset on doin youtube , and how well you make it personable.
Appreciate you watching
G'day from Australia mate love your vids
Thanks for watching!
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 in .500 Jeff is real nice!!!
I actually only know of the sako cause of a hunting game I play lol. That's awesome that you have one!
Same lol mine is FDE brown though and same I’ll never get rid of it . Lord it’s heavy

The Harbor Freight Apache, Pelican cases are nice too
Absolutely I have one
That Sako is absolutely beautiful sir, cheers Yogi 🤙✌️
Cheers
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.
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.

You should check out the Browning BAR mk3 DBM in 308.
my most expensive rifle is my psa ak gf3 lol cool video WTW!!

Wow Adam your wife took that 50 cal like a Trooper '' Another Great Video 💯Many Thanks Max 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Love all your videos even miss the Wifey Wednesday vids.

I love your channel
I have never hunted deer and I use your channel to build knowledge for that.
I have done those. I probably have fifty 50 bmg videos
I love your channel and you do a great job!
I remember the lime green ranger convertible,,,,that you would actually shoot,,,😁💪👍
Awesome as always....

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.
I have some videos on the straight pulls but I do not own any
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
👍 Thumbs up to your wife for shooting the 50 BMG Great video
Like that .50!
The Jeffrey would be interesting to take for bison or grizzly.
That sako is sweet but I wouldn't want to fire it lol. Ouch
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.
Have you done a video on the best bonded hunting bbullets or best cup and core hunting bbullets
Taken many deer with both in many videos
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.

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 remember that 50 bmg back when u first started thats how long I've been watching
I appreciate you watching!
WoW! In my younger days :)
My most expensive rifle was a model 1874 Sharps rifle 32 inch barrel in 45-70 .
Test the WESTERN RATTLER pcp 357 AIRGUN. They say it groups better than 6.5 creed
I must say, I miss the clay blocks!😮❤❤❤
Me too
Never really regretted buying a gun, I have definitely regretted selling some.
When your friend tells the shop, "I know someone who will buy that oddball rifle that he absolutely doesn't need."
Yup
Hey who the who great video but I felt like I had to inform you of something I'm unsure if you've heard of this before or if you currently owned one but if you don't I know how much you love going to tolliver's and buying good boom sticks well if you want a humdinger of a boomstick look for the dp-12 double barrel shotgun that thing is stupid smooth very functional and an absolute pleasure to shoot
That 500 Jeff. is awesome. I bet that dude would turn a tennessee whitetail inside out.
Thanks buddy..
Cool story! Casually sipping coffee here.
Thanks for watching
Oh man brown beat hunt with the 500 Jeffrey would be awesome
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!
Appreciate you bigtime 🙏
That Sako is beautiful, but dang it looks like that hurts when you pull the trigger lol
It does hurt
I had that same gun about 7 or 8 years ago and had Leopold $5 to 20 on it I believe and it kept dropping the shell half inch coming out of the action sending the Savage and they said that's the way it was supposed to be and they never did anything. I ended up getting rid of the gun
