Selous was an absolute legend. It was an honor to get to fire his rifle. Let me know what you guys think.

Very nice--I bet this made you feel super-special. The cartridge is essentially a rimmed version of the 6.5x54, and I understand that brass can be made from .303 cases. Thanks for posting this! FCH is one of my heroes.
 
Awesome experience!
 
Been a while since Rated Red stopped uploading, did something happen to the channel?

Very good the gun videos you made there, it would be good if you made some more of the classic rifles on the range.

Rated Red shut down not long after we did this little mini-series with them. We were hoping to turn it into a longer deal, but they pulled the plug on the whole company.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
