Bob, you literally made me LOL!! @Wyatt Smith, if you find a very loving, understanding and supportive wife, you will be fine.

Would you provide more information on what kind of trophy quality buffalo to expect and size/terrain of hunting grounds? Thanks.

Coppersmith has several regional offices and my limited experience with Coppersmith is only with their Seattle office. The POC at the office seemed less than enthused in handling my friends’ and my crates. When my crate was “accidentally” sent to Montana it took more than a week and a few...

Have a blessed Christmas everyone!!

That’s a great looking set of R8. Even though I already have R8s, I was quite tempted with this one. Enjoy the beautiful rifle and have a blessed Christmas.

Lifting you up in a prayer @Mark Biggerstaff

If you’re open to getting a used rangefinder, you might consider a Leica.

That’s a great looking “family tree” indeed. Congrats and have a blessed Christmas!!

They look great @Aussie_Hunter. Congrats once again.

I have used Borderview to import firearms from Canada to the US. Quite painless…just takes time and money. Borderview

Well that was one heck of a long and winding path!! Congratulations @meigsbucks Shoot straight in good health for many years to come.

My condolences and prayers for you and your family during these difficult times.

Welcome to AH, Karl. What a grand entrance/1st post!! Glad you got to spend some quality time with your dad. And sorry about your mom’s passing. Regards,

That came out great. But then again I would expect nothing less from Ralf’s workshop.

Thank you all for your replies. I have Talley rings on most of my rifles, except on Blaser R8s and double rifles, and like them a lot. I will have to look into EAW rings as well as Ziegler and Recknagel as I am not familiar with them. Thank you for the recommendations. @Hermes, I am...

I am thrilled that one of these fine Rigby HS rifles is on its way to my FFL. As I prepare for its arrival, I am trying to get other parts ready such as scope rings, reloading components (which most of them seem to be on back order), etc. As for scope mount options, I see there are Mauser...

Glad to hear your surgery went well Mike. Praying for your speedy recovery and complete healing.

@Sourdough, the double rifle bug must have bit you very hard!! Maybe because I have Blaser R8, I don’t mind the safety on my Kriegoff DR at all. Yes it does take more effort than a conventional safety, like what I have on my VC DR, but not bad. Of course if you have significant arthritis on...

RIP Mario Canales Najjar.

Congrats @Houston Bill. It seems like your Heym 88B got a good workout!!

Agree. I would definitely call Blaser. The couple times I have called them, they were prompt to answer my questions.

With the rifle on that kitchen countertop, my first thought was that you are putting the rifle up for sale!!

Excellent set of wood on that R8. So it begins with one barrel but I am sure it won’t end with just that bbl. Welcome to the dark side @Triathlete3

Per Chuck Hawks’ recoil table. - The .375 H&H Magnum produces more than 35 ft.-lbs. of felt recoil with a nine-pound rifle. - The .416 Rigby wallops shooters with 58 ft-lbs. of recoil with a 10-pound rifle. Ron Spomer has a couple of videos demonstrating 416 Rigby. You might want to check it...

You beat me to it @BeeMaa. When I first read the title I was imagining something like this.... or But that R8 looks much better than either of these. Enjoy your rifle @TOBY458

Congrats VertigoBE!! I am sure you are relieved that beautiful rifle is finally in your possession. Enjoy it in good health.

As stated above. Each Blaser R8 bbl does have its own SN so you have to list each bbl individually..

Wow that was a fantastic deal!!! Good for you Frederik.

Congrats on both a nice looking bear and a beautiful classic rifle!!

That’s a very impressive Bull!! Congrats.

Congrats Tundra Tiger. That sounds fantastic!! Enjoy your time with your daughters.

Here is a black bear link with a cat who thinks he is bigger than he really is. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CgEHYAMFfxz/?igshid=ZjhmMmE0MjU=

I stand corrected…it indeed is not a black bear.

Check out the black bear’s reaction. https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cf7Gr0BDCk3/?igshid=ZjhmMmE0MjU= Black bear on Instagram

Looks good Sourdough. Of the two shots identified as 1 and 2, is #1 from the left barrel and #2 the right barrel?

Good morning @Lee in Texas. Does your friend have a German hunting license (Jagdschein) and/or weapon registration/possession card (Waffenbesitzkarte)? Otherwise he won’t be able to legally possess a weapon in Germany.

How about Swarovski Z8i 1-8x24? It should be more than sufficient for most hunting applications. Swarovski Z6i 1-6x24 should be a good option as well.

Ralf Martini has a few DRs currently listed on his website. It takes a bit of time and money to import a firearm to the US, since Ralf is based out of Canada, it is doable.

@rigbymauser, pray tell…what are the doses (make and caliber) of those good medicine?

Welcome aboard @Agrarler. Enjoy your time in Africa with your sons. That sounds exciting. What an awesome experience it will be for them.

@ET1775, you are in luck. There is a cure for your illness. However, purchasing one DR may not guarantee you will be completely cured. Just FYI, as stated above, do not rule out Kriegoff.

Hi Troy. Welcome to DRA…double rifle anonymous.

My crate went MIA for a few weeks after it had arrived in Seattle. It apparently was shipped to Montana by mistake and had to be trucked back to Seattle before barging it up to Anchorage, Alaska. The error was identified within a week but took a couple additional weeks and a few emails and a...

Congrats on a great rifle. Since you are a Rigby fanboy @Aussie_Hunter, I would like to ask you and other Rigby aficionado a couple questions. Are the newer London Rigby the same quality as the original London Rigby? If you had a choice between the older vs newer Rigby, which one would...

Happy 4th!!

Thanks for the hunt report Kevin. It felt as if I were there when I read your posts. I have a red dot on one of my DRs. Despite some naysayers or purists I don’t think there is any shame in having a red dot or a scope on DRs.

In honor of of Cal Pappas- NKWE SAFARIS

Very nice Sourdough!! Enjoy shooting it.
