My name is Pondoro and I am a sinner. I have started the process of rebuilding my ZKK 602 from .458Win. to .500 Jeffery..

The voices in my head says it is the ultimate for elephant hunting..

the 500 Jeffery is a great cartridge!

Guess I belong in this support group.

At the moment I have a a-bolt in 375hb, not really a classic bigbore but accurate and dependble.
Had a 458Lott cz602 and a 416Rigby no1, Sold the Lott cause i had to switch to shooting from my left shoulder, the Rigby cause it wasn't really any fun..
Have just bought a lefhanded m70-action and a 404 barrel, very sure that will be great fun.

You are a masochist!

 

[matt85]

welcome to the group @siutis ! its been a while since any one has posted here so im happy to see a new member.

ive personally fired an 8 pound 458 WM and it was awful, so props to you for enjoying it!

if you enjoy light weight guns that fire big cartridges then i recommend the Ruger #1 in 458 Lott. that single shot monster maybe weighs 7 pounds and the 458 lott cartridge generates about 30% more recoil then the 458 WM.

Well, it was time this thread got brought back up to the top.

I done gone and did it again...so I am here to confess.

I just bought 250 new cases for a caliber that I do not yet load for...and may never (the rifles so chambered are few and far between)!

But I would like to...and the price was such that I could not pass them up!

Drum roll................450 Dakota!

250 new cases for $275. Smoking deal. How could I say no?

I knew you all would understand.

 

[sestoppelman]

You wont find a much better time to buy guns then right now, its a buyers market.

 

[tarbe]

Well, I am ready to buy this....just waiting for my wife to say yes!

You should have seen the look on her face when I said "You won't really divorce me after 38 years, just over a rifle"?

 

[Mark Biggerstaff]

I guess add me to the group. Last January I had 1 375HH. Now 13 months later
2- 375 HH, 416 Rem Mag, 458 Win Mag and just got Ruger 77 in 9.3.
I have only been to South Africa one time and trip 2 is this May. Already thinking about trip 3 for 2020.

I noticed that you didn't say she said "no" to that question.

She kinda gave one of those nervous laughs....

Kathy actually sent me a WhatsApp message and said she was secretly hoping you will buy it! Don’t tell her I said anything though, it should be a surprise

 

[sestoppelman]

I would guess she can think of other things to do with $10K!

Hoping I will buy it so she can divorce me?

She said something about putting it towards paying off the house.

Pffffft!

As is said, it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
