.416 Rigby factory ammo is no where near max. If one can handle the recoil, Jack O’Connor loaded 105 grains of H4831. I’ll admit that is too rough of a ride for me.

Add climate controlled storage room and then double that. If you reload, have them build a solid bench with storage shelves and plenty of electrical plugs.

It is sounding not very realistic.

That is unique and really interesting. (y)

First, there is so much talk about cutting off elephant tails, but what is done with them after being cut off? Next, is it possible to tan a whole flat hide with the tail and trunk included? That seems like an impressive hide for display. I really enjoy tanned hides to feel the differences in...

I’ll take American Buffalo and Journals of A.J. Stone. Please PM me with where to send payment.

For those interested in the really big guns. Here is a Dumoulin .700 Nitro double. It still is "in the white." The ad says six months estimated to finish it to buyer specs...

Will, I imported a Heym Martini from Ralf Martini when he was still in Canada. BV put the import markings on the unside of the barrel, just ahead of the forend in microscopic size font. It is not at all noticeable. The process was a bit slow, but very easy, the same as buying something online...

I have never had anything stolen off my porch, but twice packages went missing in the UPS system. One was a some Varget powder and the other was a scope. Two other times nice hunting knives were marked as delivered. I called UPS and they said wait one more day. Amazingly it was delivered the...

Seeing the gorilla is an incredible experience. Congratulations on a real adventure and thanks for sharing.

Should be able to by using one spec’d for post-64 M70 pattern he indicated above. I use Pic rails on the earlier version MRC 1999’s as well as every other rifle I own. Having said that, an intergral Pic rail is the most reliable mount possible.

Any chance the built in Pic rail will be available on these bigger rifles? That is one of the most compelling selling points to me of your other receivers.

That scope is fantastic, it is one of my favorites. Nice looking rifle.

Ontario, there is a very consistent pattern in your posts of criticizing and condemning others followed by espousing your moral superiority. The pattern repeats itself frequently. While the motivation seems unintentional, the pattern really does comes across as offensive and condescending...

She sounds like a heck of a woman! Time to a ring on her and don’t let her get away!

The Louvre is a must visit spot in Paris. The Impressionist collection is the best of the best once there. Enjoying a coffee or glass of wine at the cafes is another particularly noteworthy activity. I never had a bad glass of wine in France, just good, better, and best.

Damn, that is as sad as it is shocking. Really sorry for you.

If you handload, Bertram brass for .450 Rigby is available in the US according to ammoseek.

Grizzly brand ammo is made in Oregon. That is Bertram brand brass. They are in Australia, so use the kangaroo stamp. So Grizzly loaded it using Bertram brass.

Beautiful rifle and belt. Who made the belt?

Very thoughtful post, nicely said. (y)

Watch the video starting at 23:00. The client using a bolt action with a scope required four shots to drop a zebra standing broadside. Honestly, if it was any other PH in that scenario knowing the client is struggling with shooting skills about to attempt a shot on a buff in an area with...

Yes, I do the same. My post was just sharing info for when caught in a pinch and there is a need to improvise.

Thank you for sharing this important info. +1 Please let S&W know about this part failure.

While imprecise, my intent was to respond to the comments about the "Trump tariffs" causing the high cost of a Heym rifle with punitive rates made up unilaterally by Trump. My post was addressing that idea as the Trump created politically punitive tariffs went away. I did state it went back to...

We had tariffs before Trump and we will have tariffs after Trump. I imported a Heym Martini from Ralf Martini himself and paid a tariff on it. Biden was the president then.

If you say so. Please share a reference to a legal news source, not Fox, CNN, or MSNBC. I am aware of a uniform 10% global tariff, but nothing with high rates varying country by country as before, but it is outside of my practice area so could have easily missed it. ETA - I am truly open and...

Like most AI output related to law, that AI output is is either plainly wrong, misinterprets the law or is outright fabricated. Courts are sanctioning lawyers steadily now for using AI because of the poor quality or outright plainly false and even made up statements.. I do not have an...

The outside of the US model vehicles cannot meet the US safety and emissions standards. That is straight from a lawyer who works for Toyota.

fyi - Those of you commenting about tariffs, the Supreme Court declared them unconstitutional in late February i.e. two months ago. So things are back to the prior numbers. I recently imported some ammo pouches from Jacques Tredoux. Fedex, who he used to ship, tried to collect a brisk tariff...

Some hides, musculature, and skulls are tougher and pose more of a challenge for penetration than a gelatin block.

Back when I used to cull lots of deer, I tried the .308 168 Amax. They mostly did not exit even on small does, so quit using them very quickly. For match bullets, the .308 175 Sierra Match King killed truck loads. Something about the design of 175 specifically caused it to tumble through...

He was a rough character. He served some hard time and was very legitimately one of the voices of what we knew as “outlaw country.” Waylon, Willie, with lesser known names like Rusty Wier, Rita Coolidge, were the music of my youth. Here is a touching song he wrote for Tanya Tucker.

What a great entertainer. Rest in peace.

WOW!!!! That must be like hitting a small deer with a plasma cutter.

Beautiful rifle, hope you have many enjoyable days with it.

Seems like the .375 RUM has enough muscle to push the 350’s.

We are born with one family and then through life grow another around us. So sorry for your loss. This song speaks words of comfort to me, hope they will for you as well.

Which stock pattern is that? Nice looking set up.

Take a look at Powder Valley. $58/lb.

"Those fine barrels are press-fit into the actions, and the bolt’s locking lugs fit into recesses in the rear of the barrel itself, instead of the action." https://www.americanrifleman.org/content/german-resurgence-mauser-12-and-sauer-101/

Yes, but the M12 is much higher quality overall than the M18.

Interesting bit of information from BBC, the full article is interesting and informative on the economic impacts of the war, which have been severe. “One Iranian website, Asr-e Iran, recently cited an unofficial estimate that up to four million jobs may have been lost or impacted by the...

For me, straighter stocks with less drop are more comfortable and have less muzzle rise under recoil. More drop is important if you want to use iron sights. My days of iron sights are in the rearview mirror and not coming back. So back to the first comment. Ask if you can shoot the rifle and...

We already had a terrorist attack in Austin, Texas, last month. There were others around the country. All of been buried and no further mention made of them. If the man was wearing a Trump hat, the media would run the story every day. AUSTIN, Texas — A gunman wearing clothes with an Iranian...

Why did you include the serial numbers in the post? Cannot remember ever seeing someone do that on purpose. Congratulations on the additions, hope they serve you well.

Not necessarily, but we are flat out scared of the Marxist insurgency that is coming out into the open in the US. To ignore it is foolish and potentially deadly as their political violence is becoming more regular and more violent. Trump is one of the few politicians in either party that...

Looks like the Caprock/Panhandle?

Iran in a brilliant move has flipped the bird at Trump. Just a guess Operation Rolling Thunder the sequel is about to kick off. IRAN NEGOTIATIONS Iran is not ready to hold another set of peace talks with U.S. representatives until President Donald Trump backs off from his...
