In this case, it is the photographer and not the camera because I know I can’t take a picture that good.
Oleg Volk’s work, ladies and gents. Doing the impossible job of almost make me look decent.
And the shotgun is a Turkish Tokarev USA TX3 12HD. Based on the Remington 500 870, I believe and for that price it is a very nice Boarder-Repeller. The Ghost sight is amazingly easy to see and acquire targets with it. Loved the wood and I am not one who needs or drools after that stuff, but I have to admit it was a very nice looking. Shot several low recoil rounds through it and impacts were right where I was aiming and felt very comfortable to do so.
And Oleg mentioned setting the shotgun like this, and I want one now. Nothing says “Go away or be ready to have a miserable day” better than a trench gun.
Once again, the wish list of guns keeps growing.
Point of order:
Mossberg makes the 500.
Remington’s is the 870, in about 4000 flavors, before their demise.
Nice pic, BTW.
Oleg’s photography is always top-notch.
Duh me… thanks. I was coffee less when I wrote the post.
Fixing
No prob.
The only reason I got a Mossberg 590 to go with all the 870s was because I could mount a rare example M-7 16″ bayonet on it.
One riot, one ranger.
“Get off my lawn”…. Heh heh.
Decent, hell. That’s the look of a man who is absolutely DONE with someone’s crap.
A round of applause for Mr. Volk and yourself as well.
Very impressive photo. And yes, a lot of credit to the photographer, but don’t short-sell the model.
If I’m ever in the area of Nashville I’ll have to go visit Oleg and see if he’ll make me a portrait. 🙂
Great picture! 👍to the belt buckle.
Kore belt..love ’em
Uncle Seamus comes out of retirement to show how it was done back in the Ould Sod…
Nice pic! Is that a Kore belt and buckle I see there?
Yes. I am not using anything else since I bought this one… I even bought another. They are amazinly easy and firm,
There’s an air of ” this is the Chicago way, Mr. Ness” with that first photo.
You look pretty close to Billy Connolly in his roll in the Boondock Saints movie that that is just a special kind of awesome.
Mighty fine looking shotgun and theres just something about a bayonet that feels right.
I have been looking for his cap, but I fear it was a custom job
You are looking good. Keep up the exercise and diet program. .
Much respect to Oleg Volk. He is an artist with his cameras.
Oleg Volk is just flat out an awesome camera man.
