Battery Oaks-B&M Rifle Indoor Range

Spending an afternoon in a rooom like that would be a big CHECK on the old bucket list. Hope to see it in person one day - thanks for sharing pics!
Charles, gettcha self on down here. You can be here in 2 hours. Hell, it don't git dark now till about 10 PM. You could be back home afore dark. As you know the bunk house is a pretty good stay.
 
How is Michael doing?? Haven't seen him in a long while. Would love to visit.
He is well. Like all us older folks he has some serious health problems But keeps on keepn on. One foot ahead of the other. Steve, you know you are always welcome. Give me a heads up and we'll run over. Thanks to you for so many wonderful pictures from last October.
 
Lol, I showed these to Mrs Oneofsix and she was quite upset we didn't see this on Millie Day...
I hope we are welcome to come back @BatteryOaksBilly....

Absolutely!!! As hard as it is to get in here [not really bad] it is more difficult to get to the B&M HQ. I'll take any of you anytime , but will need some notice.
 
Pardon the sidebar... Not to minimize Billy's incredible collection, but if you like things like this, locally the York County Museum has one of the largest African Animal exhibits on the east coast. At least that's the way they used to promote it. They acquired a private collection back in the '50's and it required them to expand their facilities. It's been years since we've been, but I remember it being quite extensive.

Billy, you are generous to a fault. I'll have to gas up and make the trip to come visit some time soon. It's about 4hrs for me.
We admire Shooters here George...you are always welcome.
 
Wow that is amazing and I'm sure a lot of work to build and maintain. You don't get that kind of result without being all-in and highly skilled at getting shit done, mighty impressive !
Alfred all I had was an idea. The "M" in B&M had the money to make it happen. Many trips all over the world to test our idea of the perfect Big Game Rifle. As you can see, the concept is valid. Mike and I speak daily he is closer to me than any other person in the world. He is too generous. I have become a buffer of sorts between him and the moochers and hangerons in the world. He is closer to being a hermit than I am, in that he doesn't Have to leave the compound regularly like I do. He is usually on his Boat or at home All the time.
Nothing makes either of us happier than to have people enjoy the Trophy Room. I will say it's hard to oversell it.

I'm off Friday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Let me know when is good.
Tell him I'll be carrying a real gun, in a leather holster, that is no smaller in caliber than a .451.

Duke the Blue Heeler admiring the Dead Zoo... I think Duke has been the only dog allowed in there.. (??) correct me if I'm in error Billy...
You Are Correct!!! He was a Southern Gentleman of the first order. I think about him everytime I sit on the porch and look out over the ponds.
 
Sweet Jeebus Robert Ruark has risen from the dead!!! All jokes aside I can see why you are loathe to leave your property.
nchunt, my property is much less impressive than the B&M Rifle HQ. We bought that piece together in 1985. He took off and developed it into our B&M HQ.
I will say in my defense, we have the nicest private range in our county...hands down. We take great pride in it And Love to share it with shooters.
 
Wow! What a great collection!

How does one humbly request permission to come aboard? I would love to visit, and might select a hundred year old rifle to choot, if that's allowed.
By "select" I meant bring, as in bring my own!
 
I'm thinking a 45/70 Guide Gun with some of Michaels 500gr hard cast loads.
Nice mouse gun.....how about a seven pound rifle all up with a 16-18 inch barrel spouting out 550 grain 50 cals at 2,400 FPS>
My Pard Chadam has some experience with one of these. He thought up our slogan...

The only place I've seen in my travels that mirrors this is a non-descript building in the tiny town of Kenton Ohio.
Inside you find hundreds of motorcycles, most are rare and unique. It's not a public thing, you'd never know it was there if someone didn't invite you. Just a couple of regular guys like B&M that decided to collect motorcycles from around the world and throughout time.

Thanks for the pics Billy, that is outstanding and we're privileged that you shared them with us. Definitely the most impressive pictures ever on CFF and maybe on any firearm forum I've ever seen anyway...
We need to find someway to make this a sticky.

The grand old man of Big Bore J.D. Jones visited with us and said we had done more in detail work on big bores than had been done in the last half century. Quite a compliment. Thanks to All who like the pictures. You were very complimentary. I hope each of you goes away knowing that everything we have here is at your disposal. Lab, range, guns, ammo, targets, everything. As always Free to CFFrs. This website makes my days joyous.

That just sounds painful. Lol! My .45-70 Guide Gun with warm hunting loads is my limit.

Beautiful place, Billy. Seriously, I am speechless. You are a man of many talents & I WILL get down to visit you in the not too distant future.
