    450/400 3" double as a stopping rifle?

    They didn’t make many of the .700’s I don’t think, and all were engraved and such. Not sure many of those actually would make it to the hunting grounds. Taking a $10-40,000 rifle to the field vs a $200,000 rifle takes a different kind of chap.

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    I’ve always liked watches but never wore one the last 20 years because of the mobile phone. After watching this thread a few months back I bought a Timex Expedition that I always thought was cool. After wearing it everyday for a month I forgot it at home and found myself looking at my wrist...

    “2 tons of heroin” I don’t know anything about heroin but that seems like it’s worth an astronomical amount of money.

    Custom 460 weatherby

    Cool rifle and caliber! Would love to shoot one. I always wanted a 416 Weatherby, no clue what I would do with it though…

    Handloading Mystery

    I switched from a regular chamfer tool to the VLD style, RCBS I believe. It’s just more of an angle, but helps with a smoother seating. I have several of the NOE expanders that work just like the M die, I’m sure they would have a .423.

    One gun or two? On safari

    I was wondering about legalities. On another thread someone mentioned a 29 day full bag hunt and he was taking 3 rifles for a full spectrum of animals. Just wondering if there were actual restrictions.

    Opinions please: Pros/Cons of .375 Ruger vs .375 H&H

    I prefer cartridges used prior to the 60s, however both will do the job. Availability could be a concern, however a good backup plan would always be a camp gun. When I think of 375 H&H I think of a nice wood stocked rifle, and a 375 Ruger in a nice carbon stock and maybe cerakoted. I like wood...

    Rigby's Dagga Boy book

    Just got mine from the Rigby website. I got #623 and it looks good. I’m surprised it’s not hardback though. Shipping to the US was about as much as the book, I get it though. Makes me want a new rifle, but that’s the idea, right?

    Hello again Sue! I was listening to your book on Audible on my commute to work. I finished it a few days ago and I liked it very much. I liked that you read it, as your emotions came through, and being the type of book it is, was well received. I will be getting a hard copy to add to my...

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    You’re killing me! Remove the chrono and add a Bluetooth connected magazine counter on the dial, and if a rounds chambered the dials glow red.

    A Glock watch would be cool. I can’t believe I just wrote that. But not some branded chinese watch. An actual perpetual quality Euro timepiece. [emoji2955]

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    You guys are killing me…but have inspired me. I have always liked watches but can’t buy something I haven’t worn in close to 30 years. I almost bought a Rolex back then, but now I wish I had since they have doubled in price. So…I bought a watch recently. I have always thought the Timex...
