@USN all the best to you too. Wounding DG is tough on any person, especially when someone can or does get hurt. Thankful that everything seems to be OK in the end.

Sorry for your loss Toby. May the Lord comfort you.

They work. Know of quite a few buffalo and elephant that they have taken out of 404s. Blessed in SA to also have the choice of Rhino and Safari Bullet Company

Well this is where I am at at present:

It's a custom base a local gunsmith made for me. Sits very low.

I think the stock being loose is what caused it.

Recently saw a stock break on one of these. Wasn't pretty. Stock was loose in the pistol grip.

My 404 has in excess of 1600 shots through it and my 450 Rigby probably half of that.

May the Lord Bless you and keep you

You can not go wrong!!!!

Oom Gert I will send you his number

Or just order Bertram directly via Bryan Betton in SA.

@Rule 303 thanks for the compliment, but hey, you do realize the is 6000ft/lb out the muzzle of that gun and not a 174gr bullet traveling at the same speed :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Why we got to the open palm discussion was because people talked about short stroking and I gave a whole description...

Thanks Gents. Doubt the Smithson mounts are an option in South Africa

The more I look at both the more I like the SSB. I am most likely not gonna build more dream rifles on great actions, but I guess I have to be the one who likes and enjoy it :LOL: :p
