G’day from OZ

Welcome to AH !
 
Welcome to AH, you have beautiful rifles!
 
450/400, welcome to the AH forum! I’m looking forward to some photos and reports on your hunts in Oz!
 
Hi Meigsbucks,

The 450/400 is one of the many classic calibers I like. I am lucky to have a VC SxS chambered in this cartridge.
I am also fond of the 375 H&H, 404J and 500 NE and am lucky to have these rifles also.
I love collecting, shooting and hunting with all these classics.
I have yet to travel to Africa but am planning to do so in the near future when current travel restrictions have lifted, I would have been there this year like many others if is wasn’t for this bloody COVID.

Regards,
If I ever acquire a double, a .450/400 will be my chambering of choice. I hope your African dream comes true soon.
 
Welcome to AH 450/400!
 
Welcome to AH! You’ll love it.
Very nice tools of the trade you have there!
 
Nice rifles indeed, what have you taken with your Verney 450/400?
I have a Marlin 30-30, a Verney 375FL O/U and a Ruger No1 in 375 H&H. The Roger is racking up quite a list of African game, latest being sable. I confess I am getting very attached to that little rifle. Which of yours is your favourite?

I have used the VC on camel and Brumby. I am also planning to use it on buffalo in the NT when travel restrictions are lifted.

When traveling to Africa I think I will take my Westley 500 and either my 404J or 416 rigby.

Don’t think I can say I have a favourite out of my classic calibers. I love them all equally.

When I’m hunting deer my go to rifle is my boring Remington 700 in 8mm Rem Mag. Probably a bit overkill but my favourite rifle for the task.
 
G'day mate!! Hope you get to Africa soon!! Like many of us, it's become something of a disease which, once (happily) infected, you'll think of nothing else but planning the next hunt!! (y)

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
