    RJ Renner "Old Africa" Model 70 Upgrade

    I've got a post-64 model 70 Super Grade (claw extractor, not push feed) in .270 Win that I'm considering having Roger Renner do one of his "Old Africa" upgrades on, including a barrel conversion to 9.3x62. I briefly considered having JES do a rebore job on it to get it to 9.3x62, but thought...

    CZ 550FS "Bavarian" Stock Replacement

    I've got a CZ 550FS "Bavarian" in 9.3x62 with the full length Mannlicher style stock. I like the look of the stock but I need a practical field replacement for the stock as it's a bit too delicate for most field work, plus my moustache is nowhere near waxed and curly enough to carry it. I...

    The Perfect 9.3x62 Safari Rifle

    I'm a big fan of the 9.3x62 as an all around hunting cartridge, and am looking for a handy practical rifle in 9.3x62 that I can use for nilgai hunting in south Texas and maybe even take to Africa at some point for plains game. I'm considering buying a Ruger Guide Gun in 30-06 and sending it to...

    Custom Wood Stock Options

    When it comes to quality wood rifle stocks is there a middle ground between the lower end cookie cutter machine cut $200-$500 stock makers like Boyd's, Stocky's, and Richard's and the high end bespoke stock makers that charge $5k+ for just the labor to make the stock and have a 3 year waiting...

    Wanted Steyr or Winchester In 9.3x62

    I'm looking for a new to me rifle in 9.3x62. Ideally, I would want a Steyr CLII, SM12, or Pro Hunter with quality wood stock, but synthetic is potentially acceptable. Also potentially interested in a custom/rebarreled/rebored Winchester model 70 Super Grade in 9.3x62. Not interested in a...

    9.3x62 Rifle Build

    I'm looking to build a new 9.3x62 rifle as an all-around non-DG rifle for African plains game and larger game in the US like elk, moose, and nilgai. I very much prefer a controlled round feed action, a model 70 style 3-way safety and a traditional wood stock so that disqualifies a lot of the...

    Modern Muzzle Brakes

    Let's talk muzzle brakes (again) on dangerous game big bore rifles. It's been an article of faith for a long time that one should not use a brake on a big bore dangerous game hunting rifle because PHs and guides will at least hate you for it if not outright ban it from their hunts due to the...

    Brno 602 Gunsmith Work

    I've got a Brno 602 in 458WM I need rechambered to 458 Lott and I also need one of Wayne's three-position safeties installed in addition to some other minor work. Given that Wayne and Tim no longer accept work and Dennis Olson seems to be AWOL (tried for several weeks to get hold of him, no...

    376 Steyr RCBS Dies

    Anyone know where one might source the now-discontinued RCBS 376 Steyr dies (SKU 17901)? I've been scouring Ebay and Gunbroker for months and have yet to get a hit. I realize that Hornady still makes these dies, but have read some reports of them having issues with setting the shoulder back...
