Well . . . it does have a good warranty. :)

Holy crappers! I never even conceived such a prohibition/penalty.

I had an acquaintance go over last May/June with his family. He was recovering from a skiing injury and was still nonweightbearing. He sent me a picture posing behind a buff and I asked him who killed it? He responded that he did! I asked him, how the hell did you do that? You couldn’t even...

The stands are easily found on Amazon etc. I need to get serious about going into selling mode on some guns so I need to keep the stands. Flat out of room. Thanks.

I think $5400 USD in the US is a great deal. Not sure about Belgium.

Wishfulthinker beat me to the punch. :-). For what it is worth, I love both iterations.

Get it for your daughters. If too much for them, oh well. :-). Seriously, great buy. Here are some pics of a pre-Martini.

This is the only picture of my pre-Martini. Later ones from Martini generally have nicer wood and cross bolts are different. 3-pos safety is a little different as well.

I have seen pre-Martini Heym Express' in .416 in excellent condition go for around $8000-$8500 USD. Saw one in .404 closer to $10K at auction with premium. I would buy it sight unseen for $5400 if in the market for one.

I have a .416 Rigby for sale that would beg to differ with you. :-). Good luck with selling. Bump to the top.

It looks like curly maple to me. Shipping will also be inexpensive. I say go for it. :)

A leading economic indicator of the economy being in the crapper is nice guns not selling for a good price. The economy is officially in the crapper. These should have been long gone.

May be a stupid question, but since you are one of our resident gurus, how is there enough hide to cover where the soft bosses were? I have never paid too much attention to caping, but on my hard bossed buff they seem to cape just right up to the boss and seemingly no extra hide to work with...

It was soft and needed some bondo.

Solid deal. I recommended someone go the Hornady route the other day as other offerings are crazy now. Like $8-10 per piece crazy! “Has the whole world gone crazy?” ———Walter Sobchak :)

Everyone must be sleeping. :)

Improvise, adapt and overcome. :-). I stop at Bucee's at least once a week. I'm sure there is a right handed shooter out there for it, but you lefties that can shoot right impress me. I can't even pick my nose with my left hand. :-)

Screaming deal on the Ruger! That is one of the nicest stocks I have seen on a RSM! Should sell before nightfall!

D'Arcy Echols used to have the best ball caps and I am starting a petition, here, to bring them back. :-) I have a blaze orange on remaining, but gave my khaki one away and lost my other brownish one somewhere along the way. I have worn them, piths, flop hats and cheap fishing hats (ugly...

Basner vs Bansner.

There are some disappointed mothers out there today. Would be great for the woman who has (almost) everything. :)

Stop the nonsense. I have lied to myself for years telling similar tales that my next rifle will be my last. If you lie to yourself, as do I, it makes for internal conflict. :) Heck, you can’t even trust yourself. A double makes the most sense from what you have stated, but getting a nice...

Not very concise, but 44-48” is my guess. Likely right at 4’ at the shoulder and pretty dang close to that on the horns. Dang. Didn’t see the second picture. Better comparison to body size. Upping estimate to close to 50!

Awesome. Land based shark fishing is a blast!

So true. To quote Hank Jr., “when something is good, why does it change?” The EE scopes are a real puzzle to me. R&D has been done, production cost would be the same as non-EE, and the offering has enough of a following to sell.

As my dad would say when I told him I couldn’t do something, “Do you have polio or something (he had polio as a child)?” :-). Protect your hand, but good luck.

Sorry to clutter this thread, and will keep it to good deals from here on out. I had hundreds of cases of non-head stamped .404 basic brass. I sold that at .50 a piece. . I hear Cher singing, “if I could turn back time.” Man, I disdain Cher.

Man, if you are in a bind and don’t have any, I could get you 20-40 pieces I guess. I only use Hornady brass for my .416 Ruger, but with non-Hornady brass at crazy prices, I think if I were starting the game, I would just use Hornady factory ammo for practice and reload with better bullets once...

Swarovski carbon dating is easy. You add 1930 to the first two numbers of the SN. 1930+79=2009.

I have plenty, but honestly would be embarrassed to ask what it is going for these days. Last group of Bell I saw sold for something between 8-9 dollars each. That is crazy! I sold a bunch of other .404 Bell brass to help folks out on here a couple years ago for a dollar a case because that’s...

Anything .404 goes for a huge premium. Obviously a nice stock as far as CZ’s go, but no telling what the ending price will be. Almost makes sense to get an action and have your ‘smith build a rifle with a nicer stock. Man, I sold so much .404 brass here for what I had in it that I could have...

Thanks. Couldn’t tell on my phone if they mounted directly to CZ action. I have these on numerous rifles and they are great.

Which action/base do the rings fit?

I will have to check with them to see if they can put me on a massive sleeping buffalo. Last hunt was brutal and I’m not getting younger or in better orthopedic shape. :-). Seriously, cool story and hunt! A feat that will not be repeated.

Leupold vx3 1.5-5 is, in my opinion, the best bang for the buck. In the alternative, I have the Schmidt and Bender Exos 1-8 on quite a few of mine. My favorite. From memory only about 3.7” of ER. Nikon Monarch Africans are difficult to find, but a solid option.

Let me know. I can put your people in touch with my people. :)

That is crazy! I used to buy stuff periodically from Cheaper Than Dirt say a decade ago. Once they started (what I perceived to be) gouging, I haven’t spent a dime with them. I live by the feud. :)

Did you end up with it?

Haaaaa. I hated it. Almost kept me from buying the gun. I was going to blacken it. Before I even received the rifle I bought some Birchwood Casey brass black. Seller told me that he really liked it. I told him I did not. :). The rifle made quite a stir at my FFL shop. Without exception, all...

Here is her text . . . The woman is a saint and puts up with a lot. :)

I need to tie a bell around her neck. Snuck right up on me!

Sorry. Put away my fancy buffalo and lechwe back skins and just took the pictures quickly :) Basically same gun but with Realtree Maax 5 camo. Has sling studs on this one. Without going into the attic to dig out the box, I believe these were $200 more than the wood stocked ones. Will do $1500...

Sorry Seth. It sold. Will post a camo one. Fairly certain 28”.

Sold. Thanks much. These really are cool novelty guns.

New and unfired. These are a pretty cool novelty gun. Swings like a fine double rifle. :-) I bought six or so of these and gave 3 to friends kind of as a gag gift for a dove hunt as one friend, we now call “plug”, has made friends with his game warden twice for failing to have a plug. The...

New and flawless .416 Rigby. Has remained unfired since it left AHR. 23” barrel and 13.75” LOP. I usually shoot 14.25” but for some reason this feels great as is. I do have a new red 1.5” NECG pad I will include with the rifle. Would bring LOP to right at 14.25”. I have used this pad on other...

Prayers sent. Terrible all around. Prayers for healing without complications!

My daughter started shooting my Ed Brown .340 when she was twelve years old . . . and is deadly. :)

Sterling knew how to pick out a stick . . .

See if this works. . . file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/55/05/CDDE0443-351C-48FB-BAA1-1C373B482381/IMG_8652.mov Nope. :). Was trying to post a video of a red lechwe on the run. I am technologically limited.
