Just received the 2-7 compact. Every bit as good as described, I am very pleased ! Thanks Smo1127 and a bump to the top !!

My buddy used a 7x57 and 168 LRXs on a zebra at approximately 80 yards and a wildebeest around 200 yards. Bullet performance on both was excellent with pass throughs, major tissue damage, and fast death. I believe muzzle velocity was around 2650, so that should equate to the impact velocity at...

No disrespect intended. If you took it as disrespectful thats on you. When the action type is different than stated that does not inspire confidence in a buyer. Thought maybe you were selling for a third party and did not have the rifle. 200 vs 202 ? Typos happen. Straight pull vs conventional...

Not a straight pull and not a 200. Your listing does not inspire confidence. Do you actually posess this rifle ?

Heck of a deal and I am sure the buyer will be happy, but that looks like a Mossberg, not a Benelli.

Wow, heck of a deal. I am going to be in Namibia on another hunt during this time frame. Been seeing enough of these cancellation hunts come up, that may be my new strategy. Dont book a hunt, wait till a deal falls into place and be ready to go !!

Both extractors seemed to have the same amount of tension when removing from bolt. I was able to accomplish removal and installation with my fingers, no tools required. I do plan on modifying my .458 extractor to match the one off my .375. In my 458 this extractor takes less effort to snap...

I had a rude awakening today. I am just a couple weeks out from my buff and elephant hunt and today finally did a timed drill with my .458 built on a Czech military Mauser. I had been shooting this .458 for over a year, zeroing the irons, zeroing the scope, load development, etc. It had been...

Yes, it is secured by two screws. I have a Remington 798 which is just a Zastava M70 rebranded by Remington. It had the same rear sight you pictured. I removed it and installed a ERA sight from NECG. Here are pictures of the factory sight: The ERA sight base from NECG is only designed to...

That checkering is worlds better, the lines actually run true to the point pattern. To see the cut lines running at odd angles to points in the pattern just screams amatuer hour. Not something I would expect to see on a rifle bearing the Rigby name. I understand not all Rigbys are created equal...

I believe this is the rifle I am referring to. Very nicely done, but definitely looks like the grain was enhanced.

He does do great work !! I remember seeing a Renner rifle on a thread on here and I mentioned it looked like the grain was enhanced or figure added, folks responding didnt believe he did that (added figure), but to me it was obvious he did something. Can you elaborate on your knowledge of his...

Gorgeous work !! The Remington rear sight caught me by surprise, but it actually looks like it belongs.

I dont have a 550, but I thought the feed rails were part of the receiver, and therefore not able to be "squeezed". Are the feed lips part of the magazine box ?

Thats what I figured was happening, the extractor was pushing the case out, not the bolt face. See post 24. So it could be a feedlip problem, follower problem, or extractor problem. How much of the extractor is engaging case head ? If the lower outboard corner of extractor was relieved this may...
