Just this week, I picked up a South African custom Mauser in .416 Rigby and a brand new DWM98 Diplomat in .450 Rigby. $7800 for a new Magnum Expert you have quoted here? That’s half the price of that rifle . If you know where to buy a brand new DWM98 for $7800 please PM me so I can call them and...

I think you’re in the right frame of mind. Perhaps a bit odd that your bolt rifle will be more valuable than the double hahaha but it’s a sound idea.

Also man, I know I’m beating a dead horse here, but if you really didn’t want a bolt rifle, sell that Merkel, and give Chris Sells a call and get your hands on one of the 89b if for nothing more than having a look at it. Those Merkels are certainly the best bet out of the world of the Sabatti...

She’s in BIG trouble though (I’d happily bail her out in exchange for her shaking that thang around for me) I joke I joke. Sorta.

PM me. I’m acquiring a few backup .416s this coming week and 2 of the shop owners here are good friends, one a master smith and like a grandfather to me, and I have a bench in his shop. I’d be happy to see what’s in the inventory and help you out if you’d like, or at least point you in the right...

I see what you did there. Shakira.

Haven’t you and I had this exact conversation a few weeks ago? I’m happy to elaborate on both the doubles and bolt rifles across the entire spectrum of cost from personal ownership and experience shooting many many thick skinned dangerous animals with them all. Yes, long story short, I would...

I’m new to the forum and really sort of not sure how to post photos. Was able to send them in a PM with a member the other day but not sure how to do so here. I am on instagram, but sadly the anti hunters have taken a liking to me due to my family name and background being kind of a well known...

All due respect, but it seems you’re dead set on defending these sabattis as multiple answers have been provided by others suck as te regulation target, and you’re asking “does that mean the target shouldn’t be trusted”. Did you happen to make a mistake and buy one or are still seriously...

And I gave examples. He didn’t ask for those. He word for word asked for actual experience. Simple stuff.

Thank you for answering the original poster of the question with all the details haha. He needed someone with “actual experience” when I tried explaining that I’ve killed more buff than the 42 years I’ve been alive. Not sure what more “actual experience” he wanted.

*forends not going on* (not friends not going on)

What is there to elaborate on? I have plenty of experience. They’re hastily built and cheap rifles that have had numerous failures for friends that opted to penny pinch. Friends not going on, ejectors failing, poor regulation. Actual experience? I’ve killed more buffalo than years I’ve been...

“Use enough gun”. If you’ve had success with that .416, use it again. Not to be a contrarian, but I’ve killed more buffalo than years I’ve been alive. Every buffalo charge I’ve had, has stemmed from the .375 H&H. I own 8 doubles, mostly being London bests, and a few being “entrance level” (Heym...

Not too sure. The 89b is starting at 28k so after import and tax and all the nonsense just call it 30k to get your foot in the door.
