    Aye, a Customized Rifle, will virtually always be considerably less expensive than a Custom Built one... But, they can be just as accurate... The most important aspect, is that it should fit you like a well tailored suit... This will make the Rifle feel like a part o' you... There is no finer...

    How much is a custom rifle going to set me back?

    A decent custom Tailored Rifle is gonna run you $25,000USD+(For a Custom Tailored Scratch Build)... There aren't a lot o' Gunsmith's in North America that can Tailor a Rifle to fit you properly... The UK & Germany are the go to places for this...(Although I do properly Custom Tailor Rifles to...

    What would be the value of this Winchester Model 70 rifle?

    Easily $2,000-$2,500USD... Which sucks, as I'm a Lefty, they make us pay through the nose... A Left Hand version generally goes for at least a Grand more than a Right Hand model...

    Running a double rifle

    The .375 H&H is the all round Safari Cartridge... It can take Dangerous Game(With proper Bullet selection & Shot Placement) as well as it's a fantastic Plains Game Cartridge(Again, there are lighter loads more suitable for Plain's Game... You don't want to use Cape Buffalo loads for Duiker...)

    Running a double rifle

    When shooting Big Bores, the best way to handle the recoil, from the standing position, is to stand, up on the balls o' your feet, knees slightly bent, leaning as far forward as possible(Without losing your balance), and pull the Rifle as tightly into your shoulder, as you possibly can... This...

    Most likely... I lost all faith in the RCMP, years ago... But, I'd still held the OPP in relatively high regard... As o' this moment, I have lost all respect for the OPP as well as the RCMP...

    Well put, Mate... Steiner's are certainly in a league o' their own... Amongst the toughest Binoculars ever made... Again it boils down to personal preference...
