How a mistake with a gun can almost kill you !!!
 

Guys just be careful when you're shooting

He over paid for the rifle... :D

And the hospital bill:ouch:

AMEN! $1200.00 for an old wood-stocked Savage? And I seriously doubt a burst barrel would rough-up a guys face like that. Shooting off of bags, he probably didn't even have his hand up there.

I bet he'll never forget to remove the BORE SIGHTER out of the barrel again:nope:

where the bolt????
 

looks like the bolt blew out of the gun also, look at the first pic, don't see the bolt, I doubt anyone touched it after the failure, could be the reason for the wounds to his face.. ouch

Hard to believe a bore sighter did all that damage:ouch::s:

nah, it was bugs bunny with his finger in the end.

WOW that's a big mistake.

And a costly one:argh:

Unfortunately, I got to see something like that. An idiot chambered a 270 into a 7mm mag chamber and was going to let his girlfriend shoot the gun. I told her to walk away. He said I do it all the time. Then, KABOOM. The barrel didn't split, but it swolled up like a snake that just had dinner and blew the bolt back in his face. I've been around guns and shooting them most my life and they still scare the crap out of me. Never take gun safety for granted and never assume a gun is safe. I don't know how many time someone has handed me a loaded and live gun without telling me it is. I will show a person the gun is empty, then hand it to them chamber open and NO rounds.

Same here some folks say I'm up right about it but safety first!
