My 2007 3rd addition Swift Manual does not have the 300H&H

Sadly Winchester's new Safari Express series 375H&H 416Rem 458win mag all use the same long action giving the 458 the short straw or in this case the long action... The upside is that the new 458 win is easily changed to a 458 Lott

Fatback... Is your 458 built on a Standard action or Long action??

Last two Safaris I shot a total of 7 animals 5 were off hand

Congrats on a great looking Buff and with a Bow even better!! Below is what folks are talking about when they speak of a white face and thinning coat

I have shot 2 Tuskless, both inside of 20yrds and hope to shoot more One with a Double in 450NE the other a 505 Gibbs One a Frontal Brain the other a Side Brain Chasing Eles with a Double Rifle is the classic way to go caliber 450 and up Bolt guns just as fun anything that start with a .4 and...

My 505 which I had built for me on a GMA action is a "Right"handed Bolt built for a "Left" hand shooter ... Meaning the stock is bend for "Left" handed shooter or has Cast On... The gun weighs 11.5lbs loaded and yes you can carry it all day

Big fan of CEB Bullets... Yes shot a Buff with my Gibbs in 2022 using CEB 485gr Raptor... Frontal slighlty quartering 35 yards enter just infront of the left shoulder exited behind right rib cage .. Also a Tuskless with CEB's 525gr Solid side brain and a Bush Pig with the CEB 525gr Solid

I would stick with a S&W it will be a better trigger either single or double action.. If it will be a range toy only stay with a 6" Barrel as it will give you a longer sight plain and hence better acfcuracy If you look on Gunsinternational you will find a myriad of 38's stainless or blue

does anyone wear the Courtney Hunter

How do their sizes run ?? I have been wearing a 10 wide Merrill

If I had the wherewithal to purchase a bespoke Westley Richards I would be hard pressed for a "moment or two" whether to order a Side Lock or Drop Lock... Westley Richards and Drop Locks go hand in hand...Removing and holding one of their jeweled Locks in hand is a treasure indeed

Shorts and Gaiters for me .... Keep them simple ..No Zippers or Velcro one more thing that can go wrong

Attached find pressure and strain data compiled by Michael McCorry and Sam Rose using his 470 with various DR bullets found on the market Perhaps some empirical data will help you with your decision You will find the lowest pressures belong to CEB and Northfork bullets Woodleigh's Solid had yet...

Like a more simple Euro mount
