Another bump.

A Purdey would be a good hare gun. We can all dream :ROFLMAO:

Tonight's Rigby Hare. 120m off the sticks. 165gn Woodleigh, so the exit was a bit untidy :rolleyes:.

Yep. I don't think it was for sale when I saw it.

I've seen a Rigby double in .458 Win Mag

It looks like it could possibly be (or be compatible with) a Williams sight. Might be worth contacting them. https://williamsgunsight.com/ I've had 2 dealings with them over the years and found their service excellent.

Thanks @Hunter-Habib My first firearm was a BSA .22 I think it was a Supersport 5

Well done Mal and Sue. Excellent write up. Great you got to meet Rob. Looking forward to catching up at WBB.

@Troubleshooter Yes, he did say they have plans afoot for USA distribution and expected to have that in place soon.

Had a good chat with Geoff yesterday at our annual Woodleigh Shoot Big Game Rifle Club event. He said they basically began producing the largest calibres and worked down - have done most of the offerings in these and are currently getting on to .375 and then .338. I asked about .30 cal and he...

Not sure Chris - I suspect it both :ROFLMAO: IIRC it's been there 'ageing' for a while.

+1 :S Welcome:

Yep ~ US$11,000 The AUD has been referred to as the South Pacific Peso :ROFLMAO: I guess the toy shop in question don't move enough product to get the SCI tent and the Land Rover. 'They' say their are 'thing' people and 'experience' people - I guess 'experience' people favour another safari...

I went in to buy a Swaro scope cover - didn't have my size. So I walked out none the poorer for my visit - an uncommon occurence. :rolleyes: I tried to tell them that RIgby were running a special half price Tuesday promotion ;) They weren't buying it :( @PARA45 @uplander01 I think anyone...

Some fine Rigby wares on display at a toy shop I visted this week.

Once he's got you on to new watches, he'll move you on to Bavarian vehicles.:ROFLMAO: Nice strap BTW.

Researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called...

New episode just released with Robin Hurt https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rigbycampfirepodcast/episodes/Episode-3---Robin-Hurt-of-Robin-Hurt-Safaris-e2ioimc

I'm not an NT local - but have hunted BCH a couple of times. Got meat out fine (and flew some of it back to Vic with me) last year. Backstraps from buff and scrubbers. We had 2 big, heavy duty eskies, that we kept shaded, and the block ice just held up for the 3 days we were there. We...

The heading read 'This custom rifle wasn't what I ordered' - I thought he was gogin to explain that they had left the iron sights off it. ;)

Condolences Toby. Sounds like you definitely recognise you are well blessed with a wonderful collection of treasured memories and special times shared.

They have some very nice looking rifles listed. Their takedowns look cool.

He says it's Africa bound (y)

Woodleigh 140gn Weldcore PPSN if you can get them.

I have quite few Meopta scopes - love them. Don't have an Optika 6 - but used a friends Optika 5, 2-10x 42 yesterday - very impressive glass, adjustable paralax/focus, crisp and postive clicks. Incredible value - I think he paid ~AU$500. The only thing I don't like on it is the ridiculously...

A bit of a Rigby walk tonight. Using one English import to deal with another English import :ROFLMAO:

another one listed here today https://usedguns.com.au/gun/630144/

Yes. Visited King Island last year on the DC-3 that flies down from Melbourne - great trip - visted the cheese works there and did some sampling - all were great. Plenty of cheese consumed at our place ... most of it accompanied with a good quince paste. Been getting into a bit of this lately...

I need to watch The African Queen again - I 'studied' it in high school in the previous millennium.

Thanks @BeeMaa - I hadn't seen this vid of TB's. Some interesting choices (of guests and watches). Great to see two Vertex's, as one of the DIrty Dozen, make the list. I think JLC and Omega were the other DD makers represented. We should do an AH 'what watch did you wear most' at the end of...

Chris - Google translate is pretty good nowadays :ROFLMAO:

Funny you mention that - I looked for about a year at thrift stores (we call them 'Op Shops' here (short for 'Opportunity') - looking for cool old retro tumbler / hi balls with vertical fluting - without sucess and stumbled on them quite by accident.

Thanks @Red Leg - a bit of light reading for the viewers.(y) I rate those great retro 20's / 30's tumbers as my all time favourite purchase from K-mart. I need to get more before they discontinue them. @R eight - I'm a bit self conscious about the chambering ... it lacks the romance and charm...

Exotic imported pests deserve exotic imported optics :ROFLMAO: Swaro Z3 4-12x50 in this case

A bit of a tounge in cheek 'report' of this mornings 'hunt'. A crisp autumn morning here today, bit of a stiff southerly. The very cozy fire had the lazy, excuse filled part of the brain suggesting a morning indoors reading or the like. Thankfully the primal hunting instinct prevailed and I...

Largely self taught - which probably explains my skill level :ROFLMAO:

I was on a KTM520 EXC for a few years. Good times. Sadly can't find any pics of mine, but here's a generic image.

More pics and info at https://www.westleyrichards.com/theexplora/westley-richards-making-the-impossible-look-commonplace/

or a Casio MWH200 and a few dozen magnum rifle primers :rolleyes:

@0002S Very nice. Like the strap - after market or came with the Hamilton? I've just ordered one of these - reckon that strap will be perfect.

I'm locked in. Anyone else here going?

I'll be seeing Geoff at the Big Game Rifle Club annual Woodleigh Shoot in a few weeks. Happy to ask him about any specifics if people want to post details in this thread.

Fellow club members, I had a few loaded rounds that I needed to pull. The green plastic kinetic hammer of Thor wasn't going to come close to accommodating the 500 Jeff. Have not bee able to find the RCBS .500 collet in stock anywhere. Stumbled across this solution.

That would be a loooooong 6 years :confused:

https://www.westleyrichards.com/theexplora/an-old-favourite-in-a-new-rifle-the-450-3-1-4-nitro-express/

@secretazure Not sure of year. My understanding is that this model was introduced in ~2017. Not sure if it is still in production :unsure: No model designation that I can see apart from CZ Brno Express. There is another thread on it here.

^ It's way too early in the year to be talking this sort of nonsense. Christmas time ... maybe. But at Easter time ... really!! :A Stirring: :ROFLMAO: Great pick up though - well done.
