    Gracy travel MIA?

    I have used Gracy twice. The first time with Gio then with second with Nicole. I had a lot of problems the first trip. The Delta flight out of ATL was cancelled. I received absolutely zero help in re-booking. Ended up spending three days in ATL before I was able to handle it myself. Kept...

    The .308 and the Silencer: My South African Experience

    You should really set up your rifle to be run suppressed. 20" (or so) barrel, lightweight short can, 5" or so. If you stuck a 7 or 8" suppressor on a 24 inch barrel, I think you would find it very unwieldly. To the OP, what was the setup that you ran? Barrel length and configuration...

    Arriving at a point in life

    I struggle with this regularly. I am really good at "justifying" a new rifle/cartridge. Truth be told, I could sell everything, keep my Blaser R8 with a few different barrels and be done. But the I might *need* a 404 Rigby Or a 416 Parkwest Or another custom 6.5PRC Or........

    Rigby scope mounting issues

    It is a double square bridge, not a single. I didn't want to go the twist off mount direction due to a $900 (with shipping and tax) price point. Looking at NECG, are the EAW mounts any good. Sure, call me cheap (I prefer thrifty :)), but $900 for a scope mount seems pretty crazy

    Recently purchased a 404J Rigby. Picked up a set of Talley QD mounts. Went to install them today and realized that the rear square bridge has to be drilled and tapped. No one anywhere around me that I would trust to do something like that. Any other suggestions as to scope mounting or do I...
