.425 Express?

@Badboymelvin
Your rifle is ideal for what you want mate. Even fits me like a glove. The stock is just fine for mitigating recoil as I find it a pussy cat that roars.
Ideal weight for that sambar country.

Thanks Bob

You ARE someone who can comment on my rifle mate - as you have actually laid hands on it, shouldered it and fired it.

I think recoil is stout as it's putting out around 60ft/lbs - but its not a problem in the field, just as none of my .458's, .375's, .338's, .375 Weatherby, etc... have been a problem in the field either...

I think pointing out the 'flaws' of someone else's custom rifle based on 1 photo and without having even laid eyes on it is pretty poor form...

Hey, if You wanna get stroked, go to the Zoo!
I said what I thought and If You can‘t take the punch, (weather from my words or from Your own gun) why do You post pics? Nobody asked You to!
Did You expect just uuuuhs and aaaahs for this idea of a „custom gun“ after Your 30 year’s experience?
Sorry when I didn‘t meet Your expectations!

Coffee or a cuddle? What are we going without this morning?

If anyone does have any questions regarding the 425 Express, just message me and I’ll help as much as l can…

I have a bit of load data on hand that worked well in my rifle (so that’s a start) and l can help with correctly headstamped brass.

It’s a great cartridge and if someone want to go down this route, I’ll help as much as l can.
