Greetings from Rome, Italy

Phil, unless you are after elephant, I'm a believer in the smaller of the BIG Bores. I own a 416 Rigby in a Ruger No. 1, two 404 Jeffery(s), a 416 Remington Mag and three 375 H&H(s). PH(s) should be the ones to carry the "Stoppers." But that is just my opinion.

You're right and I'm exactly on the same line.
My "big bore" is indeed a medium bore by the old british stardard, being a 416 Remington, one of the very few chambered in a Rigby, built in 1997 in England, accordingly with the Rigby ledgers and proof marks on it. It was in fact one of the very last before Rigby moved to US. I like very much the caliber, and the fact that I can shot it very well even from the bench. I would say I will need nothing more, nor I believe I would be able to shot a bigger bore as accurately as I shot my Rigby. By now I used (on targets) the good old Remington/Swift A Frame, but I'm going to reload it. So soon I will ask you some advice...
 
boungiorno, e benvenuto. Italy is a beautiful country, I live in Sicily for 2 1/2 years.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
