I dont remember Charles Bronson having a 458 Webley , he did have the 475 Wildey though .

Great news ! We will wait for the photos .

Hi Killerangel. Use the search function by using "brenneke" and you will find some old posts about the 9,3 x 64 , as well as some advice about obtaining brass . I see in the one thread "Rookhawk" gave some information as to where one might obtain some brass . Good luck with your search . What...

Here is some more information I found , I cannot confirm how accurate it is , but seems some more research of your rifle would be warranted . Apparently there is a guy called Daan Els who is a Musgrave fundi that could possibly help if you were able to find him - see the "copy paste " info below...

Does your rifle have a "V" in the serial nr ? I see on another forum there is a person that also has an old original Musgrave thats serial nr starts with OB but the serial nr has a "V" in it too . If so it is described as a "Vrystaat" model , which according to the post is apparently quite a...

7x57Joe is correct . The original Musgraves were built by Musgrave in Bloemfontein . They used M98 actions of various makes to build their rifles , and made their own barrels . The old Musgraves were well made and accurate . The association of your rifle to Brno is that they used a Brno made...

The issue of canned lion hunting / CBL is obviously very emotive and divisive , but as it is an argument based on each persons own perception of ethics , morality and principles it is an argument that cannot be "won" by either viewpoint as both sides believe they are right , irrespective of any...

Most of these lions are being bred to be killed anyway , the end result for the lions is the same.

Any so called "hunting" that involves the breeding of wild animals in circumstances where they are unable to breed and behave as if they were in the wild to me is unacceptable . Animals that are bred in small cages such as the case with predators or small camps such as with buck/buffalo/antelope...

I have only shot one animal with my 45-70 and that was a mature Impala ram at about 70 m . I used a 250gr "flat nosed" monolithic which punched a hole through both shoulders , the buck ran about 5 m and fell over dead , almost no meat damage .

I have the exact same rifle in 375 h&h , it is extremely accurate and easily shoots MOA at 100 m if the shooter does his part . It is a pleasure to carry in the bush and one of my favourite rifles .

Beautiful rifle ! Bailey you are talented and this rifle you made is stunning , thank you for sharing .

Have you hunted anything with this pistol yet ?

Hi Derek049 I live in SA in the Johannesburg area , not on the coast but can give you some idea of what to expect . Under the current government we have many problems such as high crime rates , electricity load shedding , irregular water supply , failing infrastructure , corrupt state...

Congratulations , you have a beautiful rifle , I wish you many happy hunts with it ! ( I am envious )
