Sighting in your expensive new deer rifle:

1. Shiny new, high-powered deer rifle..............$ 1,200.00

2. Quality, high-powered scope.........................$ 550.00

3. Bore sighting device.....................................$ 140.00

4. Forgetting to remove the bore sighting device prior to actually shooting the damned thing?

PRICELESS!

Wow... I've never heard of a barrel coming apart like that... but then I haven't ever heard of someone forgetting to pull the laser bore sighter out!

MM, I saw that Mythbusters episode! The only difference was that they were using steel fingers!

It reminds me of the squid attacking the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea

That looks unreal, like somebody carefully cut it into four pieces!

I think I agree with you...in all of my years shooting I have NEVER seen this and no one I know has either.

Could it be an internet myth

Well here's another one then. This fellow (probably the same guy as above

) neglected to call Miss Dig and so didn't learn about the cross country natural gas pipeline until he cut into it with his excavator.....

I thought that first picture of the Gasline explosion was Mars for a second... that bang must have woken up the neighbours

Had a friend shoot blank 12 gauge rounds out of his shotgun, then he loaded a live round (not knowing the wads from the blanks never left the barrel). The barreled pealed back far enough to catch his hand, shattering several bones. He was young and dumb but lucky in that he made a full recovery. Looks like this rifle guy also got lucky.
