I have not mounted a scope and don't have rings. That said, a quick search listed rings made by Leupold and Talley. Also, Sunny Hill should be able to make rings although that may be custom...

Correct, it is a proprietary controlled round feed action made by Empire. Mauser clone.

Open to reasonable offers

Weight is just under 9 pounds on my bathroom scale. LOP is 13.5 inches.

Very nice gun. Like the shot in the library too. I have a similar old PO box safe I picked up in North Louisiana years ago.

I'll caveat my response by saying that I don't consider myself a long range shooter. I prefer to get as close as I can. Finished my buffalo at 10 steps. Most shots are 100 yards or closer. I consider 250-300 a long poke. I will take longer shots if that is the only option. Took a nice old bush...

I faced your exact conundrum a few weeks ago. Ended up bringing my trusty .375 H&H to pair with the .500 Jeffery. Wanted to have a serviceable DG backup in a pinch. Shot my buffalo early in the hunt and ended up taking a number of plains game with the .375 H&H. Worked well. That said, I'd vote...

@Tikkamike here is the info on the other rifle: For sale is a beautiful dangerous game rifle from Empire in .416 Rigby in their Standard Model. It has a very nice, straight grained piece of walnut with an undulating wave to it, good light / dark contrast, ebony fore end, classic English lines...

@Tikkamike - Let me know if you're interested in any more info: Offered for sale is my Matrix tuned CZ 550 .458 Lott. These are the guys selected by Wayne Jacobson to continue on his CZ upgrade work after American Hunting Rifles started focusing on custom orders only. I cherry picked the...

I have a Matrix tuned CZ 550 in .458 Lott (solid comfortable shooter) and a really pretty Empire in .416 Rigby. More detail and pictures available if you're interested. I have dies and components too if you reload.

You may put me on the waiting list of interested folks

I missed this earlier but still wanted to say - CONGRATS! Enjoyed the write up and extras (farewell in butter LOL). Love that you include the butchery and meat sharing post hunt. If you decide to import the tusks, I'd highly recommend talking to Conservation Force. They're pros and make it...

You've got it correct. Most folks think of culling as just shooting more than you normally would and also targeting females and juveniles. I used to think this way as well but elephant are not whitetail deer. Ron Thomson's book Mahohboh is the best I've read on elephant management. Yes, it also...

I'm going to the inaugural DSC Summer Expo in July. Won't be as big as the regular conventions but should be about half the size. That's still over 400 exhibitors. It is in the middle of safari season but still expecting a heavy international presence. If you're close, it's worth a shot. DSC or...

Appreciate the feedback. I was trying to talk myself into buying one (there's a coupon for 10% off and free shipping right now) but like Bullthrower's suggestion to simply better pack my Tuffpak.
