@BeeMaa, very well done!! great write up too. i am glad you guys were able to seal the deal on the first bull. having a wounded animal out there sucks and is tough on the emotions. good job to you and your team to stay with it and finish the job!

@BeeMaa, well done!!! want to hear the story tho.

welcome aboard! and.... very cool rifle!

for what its worth, @Riflecrank and @Badboymelvin are the two 458 win apologists. that said, i am drinking that cool-aid as well. apparently you can drive a 400 gr bullet to 2500 fps in a 458 win. i only get 2400 fps in mine, but, that is 416 rigby/remington velocity. recoil is not bad...

if you have a long throat, i suspect your velocities will be a bit short of your expectations. north forks are great bullets and they tend to create less engraving forces (pressure) you might need more powder (or a faster burning powder) to get the velocities you are looking for. you seem to...

hmmm, trying to operate a gun while running from DG does not seem like a good plan. my experience has led me to stand my ground and quickly reload. its hard for me to shoot while running. :)

Ivan Carter made a video for Heym (i tried to find on youtube was unsuccessful) that made it extremely clear the value of a double rifle. it was all close quarters with DG. i used to have saved to my phone, but lost it. i would show the video to my bolt action are the best buddies and would...

buy some north fork bullets, every bit as good or better than the A frames. good luck

welcome aboard!

the caliber/cartridge you are shooting has some influence on the MPBR. a 300 win with 180 gr will and should be different than say a DG rifle 416/458 rifle. i usually zero at 2.5" high (about) at 100 yards, and i know the drops out to 3-400 yards. then, mostly i just aim and shoot. a longer...

welcome aboard

great price! already have 2 375's tho, bump

no you are not, i would set up scope by "eye" and would always be tilted off a few degrees because of how i shoulder the rifle. my little brother looked thru my scope once and said "you mounted this scope didn't you? its crooked" :) i use levels now, but still funny.

dang, you do pretty great work eric!

for what its worth, i used a 45/70 350gr bullet at 2150 fps for backup on brown bears. it actually did a pretty great job, the only thing it does not do well is shooting over 200 yards. we don't let clients shoot over 200 yards. (i currently carry a 458 win) the bears that i shot with it as...
