I’m with everyone else in the camp of saying “no” to rounds between the fingers. I don’t want to compromise my firing grip, and I think it’s a marginal time saver at best. - Will the cartridges stay oriented after firing? - Can you maintain a grip if you have to shoot in a sub-optimal...

These are such great guns. I have a 416 Rigby with the hideous front sight ramp, I certainly like the barrel band on yours much better. There isn't a better gun on Earth for $7500 in this category, I would imagine it will go quick.

No worries, I didn’t take it that way at all!

Yep, that would be one for sure

Is there a scenario where any new 470NE 88B isn’t worth $15k?

These are excellent guns, and really well made. Like a lot of European manufacturers they're not great at getting the word out but they are a bargain. Good luck with your sale, someone will be getting a very nice rifle.

I’d buy that 375 Ruger in the classifieds for $1k and shoot another buffalo! A bunch of us troll the sales forums and shops on a daily basis…we know what your budget isn’t, but what is it?

He’s THE guy in old Winchesters. Super reputable, deals in lots of bulk-buy collections. 10/10 would recommend.

I used to shoot about 3500rds of 9mm a week. I went down to 1000rds with a better plan and made a lot of progress.

I'm a firm believer that a sub-caliber trainer of some sort is a good idea. Find a .223 Ruger M77 or the closest thing you can to your rifle and shoot the crap out of it. Everything but the recoil management translates, which if you have proper fundamentals (i.e. follow thru in this case) and a...

I come at this from a different perspective than many hunters. I spent 16 years in our special operations forces during the GWOT. When we weren't conducting operations we were training on a wide variety of tasks. Train train train...do do it for real....then right back to an endless training...

I wouldn’t mind talking about it, I’ll send you a PM this evening

The safety/decocker is just a minor manual of arms adaptation, and I don't mind it. There is absolutely zero time penalty as I can recock it when I am remounting the rifle. I practice with it and I have put it on the clock against my conventional double and it isn't any slower. I’m a long time...

I just wanted to say a big thank you to @PAUL_MAUSER. I got my items yesterday, his communications were great, shipping was fast, and I would never have gotten to enjoy this stuff if he hadn't brought in this bulk shipment of Rigby goods for all of us. Thanks again!
