I've got one for sale, let me know if you'd like to chat https://www.africahunting.com/threads/for-sale-empire-in-416-rigby.75351/#post-1245269

Received my copy yesterday. Thanks again @Hunter-Habib to sharing your experiences and @baxterb for wrangling the cats. Excited to read it!

Well done!

Enjoyed that write up, thank you for sharing. I've been toying with the idea of a 7mm single shot for a while. Leaning 7x65R for nostalgic reasons. Have heard a lot about the 7x64 Brenneke over the years too though. Appreciate the depth of coverage the article took - even touching on the rimmed...

Enjoyed that Toby - well done. And to think we didn't even talk music when we were chatting in music city this past January! Got more to talk about next time I see you.

Very cool rifle and history - thanks for sharing. You have quite the knack for finding gems like these.

Don't be afraid of the lighter barrels. I was at first with mine but it has been a fantastic rifle and still a soft shooter. Handles like a dream too.

It is a wide ranging book that defies categorization. Covering ancient prehistory, evolutionary theory, autobiography, hunting, and much more. The language can be poetic and esoteric. Some would say snobby but I would call it meaty. But then again, I am the guy enjoys reading intros...

Sounds like quite the hunt so far! Keep it coming.

Terrible news to hear. Prayers for his family. Glad to see NAPHA issue a statement correcting the social media noise quickly - good on them. I've also shared this with the DSC Frontline Foundation for consideration. For those that don't know, it is a great foundation that provides direct...

Hate that I missed this earlier - McIntyre's Thunder Without Rain may be one of my favorite books period. I'm interested in Augusts on the off chance that Mac changes his mind.

They're yours, Bruce. Responded to your PM.

I'd like to say thanks to @ghay - completed a purchase with him recently. He was generous with his time promptly answering my questions. Shipped everything timely and kept me in the loop with tracking numbers, etc. Would not hesitate to do business with him again.

Posting these in response for claiming the bore site from @Rob404 I've got two unopened boxes (2x50=100 bullets) of Barnes TTSX 120gr .284 caliber Welcome to be claimed by anyone although if you've got less than 100 posts, I'll ask that you post something before I ship.

No worries! Just didn't want to accidentally sink the ad

I believe the OP is a want ad, not a for sale ad

@Rob404 I'll take the bore sighter Will put something else over the weekend once I dig through the safe.

I understand the feeling, I've got a bit of that myself. I blame this forum. Very cool gun - enjoy!

Congrats! I see that @krish didn't make it very far in his self-imposed ban on buying future guns ;)

Any more detail on who built the rifle? Also, where is the rifle located? Thanks

Still available - open to reasonable offers

Price reduction to $5,495 - rifle only

Middle would be my vote - straight through the wrist and dense grain. Congrats on your build!

That is fine rifle @buck52 I'd recommend that you tell the forum a bit more about yourself as a new member. Since your first post is a classified ad for a nice rifle. Perhaps even some more pictures with a piece of paper containing your user name and date in the shot. Please don't take this...

Buy with confidence here - @nomspc is great to deal with. I love the Brockman tuned gun I picked up from him.

Welcome, @Joshlee0518 You'll find lots of good stuff to dig into as you plan your trip.

I'll throw in another vote of confidence for Matt. Honest, talented, and personable. I will warn you though, visiting his website too often can become expensive ;) He's building a .500 Jeffery on a GMA action for me currently. Can't wait to take it to Africa.

I'm interested as well and will send you a PM @baxterb Thank you for coordinating. If it is not too much trouble, I'd love to have a signed copy. Don't mind chipping in a little more for that either.

Had a smooth transaction with @MontanaPat recently - thanks!

It is a great event. I try to go every year but can't make it this year. Will be chasing nilgai in South Texas with a big bore though, so good excuse. If you can make it, register now and do it. It's a blast.

They're yours @gprippers Received your PM and will get them out to you this week.

This is a bit late, but I am posting these for grabs as thanks for some dies I received (thanks again @Rob404 ). These rings have been mounted on a gun and used for a while but are in great shape. Not sure when I lost a screw but it never affected the zero.

PM sent

sold

I plan to attend

Keep an eye on GI too - an ad popped up last week with 100 handloads, virgin brass, and dies for a steal. Was gone the next day. Good luck! It's an intriguing cartridge.

Great thread - really enjoyed convention this year and getting to meet a few of you in person. I booked my buffalo hunt with Dries van Coller next year and bought @Sue Tidwell 's book. Bailey's work is calling me too - I'll second everyone's thoughts on him as a person and gunmaker...

Great thread - I thought about starting something similar a while back during the Chinese year of the Ox. Seemed fitting. @Green Chile have you read Horned Giants by Brandt? I recently picked up a copy I have yet to read. He attempts to cover the topic exhaustively. I have no real experience...

Very generous of you - much appreciated!

No worries. Thanks for keeping this thread going.

@Rob404 I'll take the dies. I'll PM a ship to address. Muchas gracias

I have got some that I could part with. Will connect offline.

Firstly, you're going to enjoy the DSC convention - it's a fantastic experience even if a bit overwhelming. You're getting great advice here and will continue to get more. My only addition would be to echo the comments to take your time and do your research. That makes it more likely that...

Thanks, Mark! I'll be at the DSC convention the for the full show. Would love to meet up and swap some stories over a drink if you've got time. I'll text you.

Jon, I've got one too: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/for-sale-empire-in-416-rigby.75351/#post-1151866 PM if you'd like to chat

Don't know how I missed this earlier. Man...that...sounds...AMAZING! Would love to join but am already committed downtown (going to the banquets again this year). I am game for a meet up at the convention center or thereabout if anyone else is game. I know that AH has the dinner but I can't...

Wow, what an offer - best of luck!

Beautiful!

I'll take it. PM to follow

This sweet little package needs a home where it can be put to use
