Yeah who cares, some just like to stir the pot. Ted has over engineered this one in a great way, no way you gonna win. |

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

It's a little known fact that Billy Dixon did not use a .50-90 Sharps to make his famous 1 mile kill at the Battle of Adobe Walls as is widely reported, but instead, it was an early prototype of the 7mm-08!

If the Germans had had more of these
and fewer of these the outcome of the war would have been the same give or take a week or two. Just sayin. |

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Thanks Mike
To the relation of the topic at hand, The Tiger had an 88mm gun (88mm x L56 if I remember correctly), and the Panther had a 75mm x L70 gun. While the 88 had greater armor penetration at normal combat ranges (at least for the German panzers), the 75 L70 had higher penetration capabilities than the 88 at the far edges of those ranges. Giving the Panther the long range edge over the Tiger. This comparison does not include the King Tiger with it's 88mm x L70 gun, which would be like comparing the 7-08 to the 300 Win Mag. |

Yes, the collector Jacques Littlefield has since passed, the panther and rest of the military collection moved to "The Collings Foundation", Stow, MA. |
