At the Linebaugh seminar this year, we had an attendee that brought a Bowen 500 Maximum. He was kind enough to let me shoot it, ( see shooting the 500 Max ) also let me photograph it.

I think this is simply stunning.

Enjoy.

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.” Jeff Cooper

It's strange that with all the upgrades, it still wears a Ruger rear sight instead of a Bowen.

I believe he said it was over 17 years old.
