    Choices

    I have a great dog, several custom knives and guns, women come and go! "If it's got wheels, tits or propellers, it going to be expensive!" and trust me I've spent a fortune on all three! I'll always have custom guns and a great dog.

    Heym or Dakota?

    An early Dakota in 416 is hard to beat! I also own a Heym and they build excellent stuff! The 416 Rigby is a Traveler with a 338 Lapua barrel, both are 1/2" guns. I own other pre-Remington Dakotas and the are great guns! My doubles are Heyms and they are hard to beat for the money! Handled...

    Yellowstone: Grizzly takes down bull elk

    Saw a griz in BC several years ago try and take on a similar size 6x6 on the flats and both got more than their share of wounds! The elk never let the bear get behind him and worked him over like he was taking on a rival bull in the rut. It was pretty impressive, a bear is better in the water...

    Anyone Lookng for 257 Weatherby Loads?

    Ive shot lots of deer and antelope with a 257 custom! The Berger 115 is just explosive on them with mush for chest cavities and big exits! The Barnes are the laser with pencil right thru and little destruction, had an antelope run more than a mile with a double lung at 400y! A hunting...

    Red dot or reflex sight for double rife

    As a long time USPSA/IPSC open class and 3-gun shooter, a red dot site is second nature! I'm very comfortable with open sites as years of competition in the same sports in limited class also, but as I age the red dots improve my speed and accuracy in a game that is all speed and accuracy. DG...

    NRA: Does anyone on AH know what is REALLY going on?

    As a life member since age 18, the NRA is the only organization that has successfully stood up against the gun confiscation left! Do we need a house cleaning at the NRA, :YES! But if you are a gun owner you need to say I support the 2nd amendment and if you don't your gun rights will be...

    New Double

    looked seriously at buying this from George! I'm glad you bought it! i have two 470NE and wasnt sure I could justify owning it. glad it shoots well. The only 500-416 I've shot was identical to this gun with 14" lop and recoil was similar to 470.

    Dakota 76

    I've bought them for more and for less! The 450 has never been real popular, and depending on wood and other options maybe a great buy! Bought one in 375AI a year ago with great wood for $2900. The owner had exact same gun in 300WM he sold for $5250! If it is a pre Remington gun you will...

    Bison Hunting With A 416 Rigby

    I've killed 3 plains bison, first one at age 17 as a drawing winner on a free ranging heard owned by State Fish & Game! Shot it with a 45-90 Winchester 1886. I was accompanied by a F&G officer, my dad and a biologist and was a 2 day hunt that resulted in a nice bull (meat was harvested for a...

    Survey: Your Favorite .30 Caliber

    I love 30 calibers of all kinds, hunted with them, used in competition, shot for fun for more than 50 years! 30-06 for versatility 300 RUM for sheer power and long range capability has become my all time favorite!

    338s Are A Great Caliber

    I prefer the 338 RUM and the 338 Lapua to the WM! The RUM is perfect compromise using 250 A-frame at 2800fps. For long range elk the 338 Lapua with 300gr Bergers have been deadly here in Wyoming and several other states in the last 6 years! I built a 338 Lapua Ack IMP for a Utah Elk hunt last...

    DSC and SCI Shows 2021 - What are your feelings in the current environment?

    The good news is the recent flair in Covid-19 is in the right parts of the country! No left wing governors like NY & NJ who sent infected nursing home patients back to the nursing home (that was 35% of NY deaths). The flair we are now experiencing is mostly younger patients which tend not to...

    .22 hornet vs .17 hmr

    22 HORNET! Im lucky to have lots of prarie dogs to shoot! Agree with Phillip Glass that the 17WSM far exceeds the HMR! I have 2 of them and both shoot 1/2". I find them too light for coyotes and bobcats. The 22 Hornet has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid and I still have a Ruger and...

    Krieghoff Big Five vs. Heym 88 or 89 vs. Blaser S2

    I was asked if I could use or have just one double...... It would likely be a custom fit VC in 470 but for what I've owned and shot it would be hard to turn down a Heym 88 in 470 simply because I know that for the next several years I could have Champlin in Enid do ever what needed to be done...

    Krieghoff Big Five vs. Heym 88 or 89 vs. Blaser S2

    I have bought and inherited several double rifles! The S2 I have is by far the most accurate in 470NE and recoil is mild compared to the H&H 470 that was my dads! I sold a VC in 470 due to stock fit and have thought of having them build me a 450-400 with custom fit stock< they are very nice...

    No that one advertised for 22,500 is not the same gun! This one I looked at is a 450/400 and no shotgun barrels. I went back and looked at it and it is a Merkle action and barrels have been redone but at $18,000 appraised value its out of the question, I would give $5,000 and take a chance on...

    Rigby made in California......any experience

    This one has clearly been redone as the barrels are now soldered and have been regulated with Swift bullets in Norma cases! Not sure who has the skill to do that other than the guys in Enid and I would doubt they would bastardized a Bastard! Still a very nice gun cosmeticly and locks tight...
