I wonder if anyone would consider a rebarrel to 416 Taylor? (Heresy, I understand, but feasable?)
Heresy? My dear Aussie, I have a semi custom Interarms Whitworth in .416 Taylor. 23" barrel, nice walnut stock, shoots where you aim with open sights. Although I like my CZ 550 .416 Rigby, the Taylor is much more pleasant to shoot with the same ballistics as my Rigby. If Winchester hadn't dropped the ball in producing factory Taylor ammo in the early '70s after they and Ruger built prototype rifles for the Taylor cartridge, my guess is the .416 Remington and maybe the .416 Ruger, would have never seen the light of day. Unlike the Remington, one can use .338 WINCHESTER MAGNUM or .458 WINCHESTER MAGNUM (among others) brass to form the Taylor brass with one stroke of the press. No scrambling around and taking out a bank loan to buy .416 Remington (or 8mm) or .416 Ruger brass. Keeping it simple is blissful. LOL

I was considering the lever-action variant; imagining it against a Cape Buff with solids

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
