It will soon enough! 10.5 pounds with scope. Will be adding a SRO and custom mount. Weight should be about or just under 10 lbs. 23" barrel. Coil check. And extremely shootable. My 200lb brother also shoots it without issue and he's a 5.56 guy... :ROFLMAO:

Very mild, like a tame 375 bolt. Yes, can't taken it over the pond but a fun stateside stopper, Hog, Bear, and attention getter! Yes, it is 416 Taylor not 416 Rem, my mistake.

This one I did not want to let go, but as I mentioned here before, a Blaser R8 and some goodies is heading my way. An Atkinson Gun Company Browning BAR built to 458 Winchester Magnum. As I can find it, less than a dozen were made. Rifle is an absolute pleasure to shoot, and I know that may...

While I agree the 460 is not for everyone, the versatility of it is unmatched in the 458 arena. I think the 'will certainly exit is a stretch. Below a Hornady DGX Bonded from my above buffalo. Did not exit, worked flawlessly, and this at 2500 fps. Again, the recoil is not for everyone, but...

I shoot a sub 11lb 460 weatherby quite often. No brake on mine, 23" barrel. It's well stated here and in Pierre Van Dert Walt's book the issue with the 460 weatherby is the brake. It is not for the recoil sensitive, but in a proper fitting rifle it's an incredibly controllable and versatile...

Could you confirm what your COAL was?

Congrats on your bull Toby! I hope to be on a bull Ele hunt one day soon as well

Saw this somewhere and always like the look and simplicity

Agreed, but at very least list it at the correct manufacturer and model and mark it caliber unknown and sold as is. Or, don't buy it and retail it if you can't properly state what it is. At very least don't list it online. Either way, poor form from this store.

That does make sense for limited systems. That said, in this day and age you may as well get the proper code for a description on the site listing or add it in manually if possible. System ignornace or personnel, albeit neither is acceptable in today's ecomm listings. Your point on getting a...

One of our members in a surpressor friendly state needs to get one of these made up for some reviews. Been posted here before, but for your entertainment:

So true. I have to remind my kids that their grandpa isn't ignoring them...they just need to yell it out louder.

Not too much faith in this stores gun library. Pretty easy to see is an Arisaka, and likely a type 99 heavily bubba'd.

Congrats on your trip booking. @Tally-Ho HUNTING SAFARIS has such high remarks here you will absolutely enjoy every minute. Enjoy the preparation phase as well and make it the trip you want.

22" would be my choice. I cut a Encore 375 barrel to 20" once and it was a fun little project. Anything over the 22-23" length just feels like a musket now.

Took mine with a 460 wby. Next may be a 375 if rifle is ready in time.

@rickiesrevenge , Any update on measured velocities?

Sort of... What China does in times like this is manipulate their currency but the larger action are increased their to their factories. They will offset costs by direct returns to exporting factories of 5% on average to 10%-15% during times like now. Factories cant take the drop in POs, so...

Bob, we may need to edit your name to: "Bob Nelson 35 Whelen or Bust" :LOL: I do belive you may be a contributing factor to commercial loadings still available.

If you have the 404...my vote leans even more to 300. Bring both in the truck and you'll be ready for every situation.

What's the expected longest shot? I couldn't get within 250 yards of black wildebeest due to wind and liked having my 300 in that scenario. As a tie breaker...has either rifle not taken any african game yet? I do enjoy bringing new rifles over to see some action if not yet taken the trip before.

Many of my Chinese factories opened new factories in Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand etc. They would close them overnight if an agreement isn't reached to keep business flowing. Wpuldnt be worth the investment any longer. Cambodia, along with many others, needs to make deals.

Any item for commercial sales is subject to duties...Fishing hooks to vehicles. A total order of sub $800 is exempt. I've been on the phone with manufacturers all across the globe the past 2 days. Most are doing their due diligence in petitioning their governments as the business from the US...

Not the first to post it, but hopefully all countries have learned now or at least know enough that these actions are to get them to the table to make a deal. There's just nothing that Trump loves more than to make a deal...

I've read nothing but good from the Bubye, but personally had an incredible hunt in the Senuko block of the Save. We saw more elephant than I had imagined so, and the Buffalo were endless. We tracked a few different bachelor groups and one could argue about which old male to pick from. We saw...

@Tundra Tiger just tagging in so I can be ready when I post a thread on my next Buff that I'll be going for with a lever action in a proverbial 'marginal' caliber.... :ROFLMAO: May need a new 'Lever action Love DG' thread...

Good offer Wayne! For those looking, @NYAMAZANA SAFARIS puts on a fantastic hunt. My Ele hunt with Wayne was an incredible experience all around. Can't recommend him enough.

A DG rifle is.... A rifle that your friends are afraid to shoot or a rifle they shoots just once and says that's enough for them...:D

One heck of a wall! Congrats!

Modern history has and will continue to bow to the ultimately dollar. Trade continues and and evolves regardless of any situation so long as the ruling government wants it. Even genocides are forgiven if business ventures are on the table.

I'm not familiar with them. Are their fees lower than Coppersmith and are they experienced in bringing in your species? Only ask as delays get costly.

I know they have a few smiths on staff and worth a check to keep it local.

Good video from VDH yesterday. Quick summation of what's happened in the past 7 weeks with the notion of patience as strategies and byproducts continue to work themselves through.

This is entirely item and industry dependent. It is almost a 1-1 cost to inject, blow, or roto mold in the US vs globally. US tooling costs are grossly higher, but amortization over a large run make it negligible. Large cube items once freight is accounted for also then become more desirable...

Specific to @Wheels example, I believe Poland has an additional excise tax on imported vehicles. Ranging from 3%-18%, small car vs truck. That would be additional to the fees above. Marginal at 3%, but substantial at 18%. I don't believe Poland is known for their Truck manufacturing, but...

I don't disagree with that at all. I can only speak for myself and if I were ever introduced into a situation where more is at stake than my self Interests, upto and including national security issues, I would have opt for a different position than what was taken. A collective good is...

Not sure how close you are, but I would check with Hyatt's in Charlotte.

I think that's the measure of the man one chooses to be. Some would say, "post it", "Freedom of the press". Others would simply acknowledge the mistake (if truly a mistake and not nefarious in nature) and understand its magnitude and not propel it further. No shortage of 'Gotcha'...

He asked to be removed after receiving the messages, reading them, screen shotting or copying them, discussing the issue with colleagues, and then made it known? Very poor on his part as well as the entire team. Both parties failed at being due diligent with national interests at stake. Both...

I'm equally bothered as to why this journalist didn't make it known to the group that he was included obviously in error at the start. I can't count the times I've been added to the wrong email chain and I find my name which is already a bit rarer, but I always make it known to the sender to...

Just read about that. 2700 fps with a 270gr out of a 17.5" barrel. That's impressive. Will be curious to see where you end up with your loadings.

Welcome aboard! Another resident from Northern IL here.

My nephews who are older than my kids have begun asking my father for some stories. He has a plethora of funny stories from his tours he likes to tell. I do hope he continues to open up to us and maybe tell more mature more stories to my brother and I first. My grandfather who was a WWII...

Thank you @Hunter-Habib for your kind words and post. I highlighted your last sentence as it should be reread by all. Boys and girls need a good father as much as a nurturing mother. Mine became the better father in my later years with no doubt due to what he witnessed and did for his...

I certainly will. Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you. Certainly lots of pride in our family and happy to share one of his stories. His silver star was awarded from his efforts during Lang Vei and the march to Khe Sanh with the Laotians and Montagnards after he was hit while on a bunker with a Katyusha rocket. Blew him off the bunker...

I've written here that my hunting partner for my Africa hunts is my father. He always dreamed of going to Africa and spoke of it highly in my youth and I was ecstatic to take him these past 3 trips. I'm 38 now and planning our 4th trip over now. I've always know my father is a Vietnam...

Pretty sure @edward can give some tips. He's taken a few big and nasties with his handguns. @terry weick best of luck and do let us know how the hunt goes. Vast majority here love reading tales such as the one you are hopefully about to embark on.

I expect a small amount of malicious compliance at play, but overall some AI being used to auto remove a keyword database as well as a larger project that is doing a larger reorganization project. Sec Hegseth has been very open to the press about other aspects and entries that were removed and...
