Elite Hunting Outfitters

I have the instructions since I had mine, unfortunately they are in french, but perhaps the pictures could be of assistance.

Very nice, who made it?

Israel should perhaps take the opportunity to take out the Iranian Navy aswell while they are at it.

If there is any truth to Ontario Hunters earlier post, I think it was more then just a bit ironic that they chosed to play Fortunate Son on the parade :unsure:

Recknagel has one with one standing and three folding leaves, 15400-3051 its called. Dont think they have one with all leaves being foldable. I opted for one standing and two foldable for my custom rifle, did not researched any other makers either. Perhaps you could use google lens/picture...

Recknagel has them, google for recknagel 15400-3036. https://shop.alanrhone.com/products/recknagel-super-express-2-leaf-sight

I also use them for all my hunting, although in the orange version, due to its ability to through the hearsling connect to the hunting radio.

I am quite sure he is in fact Norwegian and not swedish, neighboring countries but not quite the same. And it does seem like pro-migration parties are losing power all over europe, and those that once were pro-migration are in most cases not that anymore. I guess it finally dawned on most of...

And here I thought that my just over 14 months of wait for my custom rifle was a long one:giggle:

Everyone probably have different measurements due to how one is built etc. I was just going to say that I was very surprised when I was measured for a bolt action, and they said I needed a lenght of pull of 14,2 inches even thought I am only 5 ft 10 inches tall. Previously I was under the...

The largest calibre I have shot is the .470 Nitro Express, and in bolt action rifles it is the .458 Lott...of those the Lott was the one with the least pleasant recoil but still bearable. I did however settle for the .375 H&H, mostly because I dont see a lot of elephant hunting for me in the...

Classic rifles in walnut and blued steel all the way for me.

Its very nice of you to post all great pictures, almost feels like one is being there for real! Those rifle slips looks great aswell, trying to get something similar for my rifle, allthought not a Rigby one since mine unfortunately is no Rigby :) You have a really nice and very complete safari...

Thank you :giggle:

Thats interesting that they are able to build a new original, using old original parts. Presumably those barrels would be unfired/never used old stock rather then reused/repurposed?

Thank you, I am very happy with how it turned out, well worth the wait.

Sabi Rifles also seems to be doing .500 Jeffery. https://www.sabirifles.co.za/index.php/products/sabi-rifles

There are some, just did not wanted to crowd the thread :giggle: but here are some I have taken since recieving it.

I would think that either 9,3x74R or the .375 H&H would be the way to go, both established calibers and Chapuis seems to be comfortable making double rifles for .375 H&H even though it is rimless.

Yeah, it does look rather beefy, I was thinking that it was because of the calibre, but perhaps its just the taste of the original owner.

I decided to leave the realm of double rifles and go all in on bolt action rifles, ordering a custom Mauser M98 about 15 months ago. Recieved it at the very end of april and must say that I do not regret my decision even though the waiting time was quite hard.

What looks like a really nice Hartmann & Weiss in .500 Jeffery, dont know anything about the french firm selling it or wether they would export it or not, but thought that18 000 euros sounded like a good price for an Hartmann & Weiss...

I dont know if this spanish firm would export to the US, but if they do I think this looks like a really nice double rifle for a lefty, 9500 euro sounds quite reasonable considering that it is a highly embellished true sidelock double rifle that includes a leather gun case and spare locks. It...

Thats one good thing with both claw mounts and swing mounts, they are both impossible to missalign when reattatching.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

I can read german fine and afrikaans also to some degree but would be completly lost at swahili:oops:

On my .375 H&H the Recknagel swing mounts cant be any lower due to the bolt handle. Still have a firm cheekweld thought, probably because of the high comb.

I have Recknagel swing mounts on my .375 H&H, had swing mounts on other rifles aswell, they works like a charm. Quite sure that it is Recknagel that NECG are selling in the US. https://www.alanrhone.com/products-recknagel-pivotmounts.html

I use a Swarovski z8i 1,7-13,3x42 in Recknagel Swing mounts on my .375 H&H, I like the versatility of the zoom range aswell as the possibility to easily remove the scope if I would need the open sights. The Swarovski z6i and z8i scopes has a system that turns of the red dot when the rifle is not...

They look great, both pairs!

Very nice, one can clearly see that it is the type of Rigby doublerifle were the inspiration for the Rigby Shikari came from.

It does make a big difference, especially with shotguns, but it helps a lot with rifles aswell.

Thank you, it is a custom rifle built on a Mauser M98/DWM Argentine action. I ordered it 14 months ago from a german gun smith, it was well worth the wait :)

I have yet to fire my new .375 H&H which I got at the end of april after 14 months build time but I expect it will be my got-to-rifle for big game for the forseeable future.

In Sweden we are not allowed to have ammunition in the rifle when transporting it in a vehicle, so I use mine every time we change hunting area.

It will probably not help with 1000 USD, in Sweden we have had the same amount for years, apparently with very low success rate. So low in fact that the politicians are talking about upping it to 35 000 USD.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

For me that would be the .375 H&H Belted Rimless Magnum.

They both look great! Are those custom made stocks since there is no cheek piece on the stock for the Big Game?

I also have a Finnish Spitz and he actually runs behind me when skiing but have not thought about using him to locate the birds during winter. In the fall he and I hunts a lot of Capercaille and Black Grouse but then I use my Heym BBF instead, its nice to have both barrels, sometimes its far...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Thank you for the tip, I will try that next time. So far I have only loaded with new cases, still have more then a hundred but saves all the fired once-ones aswell, just havent gotten around to reloading them as of yet. The cartridge seems to work great, so far I have used it on Roe Deer...

Speaking of Bears, I think it would be more prudent to worry about the Panda bear to your south instead...

It would be interesting to know if that merchandise is made in the USA or in China :unsure:

I assume you are only insuring weapons owned by US citizens?
