    American Hunter Killed in Uganda

    I'll pay any updates I hear from my customer. It is possible he might have given emergency contacts who are NOT next of kin, and the state dept won't release his remains to them.

    American Hunter Killed in Uganda

    I was made aware of this story by a regular customer of mine today. Mr. Cox was a local to me, very possible I have dealt with him. My customer only found out because a friend received a call from the US Embassy, they're unable to find any next of kin to notify and it seems as though none of...

    .404 Jeffery (10.75x73mm Rimless Nitro Express) - appreciation thread

    Mine is a very practical "working" rifle. A Parker-Hale 1100m. A nicer stock and shorter barrel would be ideal, but at the same time there's something very appealing about such a classic cartridge being a utilitarian work horse, like so many game department rifles. I'll try and grab photos...

    Factory .416 Taylor Rifles

    I really like my 416 Taylor, a Mark X built by Frank Wells (so I was told by a rather famous gunsmith, seeing as Frank has passed I can't verify). It is very accurate and shoots like a dream, but it's a bit porky and I keep debating moving on from it, with 404 Jeff #2 being built soon and a...

    Show your Custom Pre-64 and CRF Model 70’s

    oh very cool. I ask because I purchased a near identical build for my store a few years back and sent it to the Reno store for SCI, and the guy who bought it posted about it in another page, thought it might've been you. Would have been neat to see it in action! Kinda regret not buying it myself

    Did you build this one or did you pick it up? Specifically from one of the Nevada Bass Pro/Cabela's locations?

    Lightweight 375 Ruger project (I might be crazy)

    you'll be happy with the MPI from Rick! I have 3 currently on rifles, and another waiting to be sent to ERW. Im also doing a lightweight 375, but I'm doing the h&h @21.5" and the MPI Dakota project stock. I may well end up doing a 375R with another project. I have a magnum built face M98...

    25-264 Win Mag

    I've got the PO books, I'll go look for that. I too, enjoy pulling my hair out and spending way more money on oddballs and obscures. My 257 bbl should be in route from the classifieds on another forum, now I've just got to get my 1909 actions off to Utah for heat treating them i can move...

    25-264 Win Mag

    ya know... this has piqued my inquest interest vs doing the 257 Wby. I mean either way, I've got a bunch of virgin 7RM brass Ice got no use for, I was going to just run it to 257, but this might be a tad easier. Did CH4D have the dies in stock?

    25-264 Win Mag

    Do yourself a favor, buy a barrel with at least a 1:8 twist, there are many great new bullets coming out for higher bc 25 cal. Take a look at what Hammer and Cutting are offering. Hammer recommends some pretty fast twists for some of their bullets, but i think that is based off a growing...
