Bushbuck is drying, I’ve still got a ton of work to do on him but he’s coming together nicely. Again that is a custom wall pedestal I did here in the shop using a standard right turn form.

Truth be told Erik is pissed at me....He said now he wants to hunt a vallie. Says I cost him another trophy fee on his next trip to RSA. ;)

while some of you dare question about him taking a lunch break, no one asked about all that wasted time actually driving to the gas station and back?
like watching the progression pics though
good point.

Once again Thank you! Great!
 
Ok folks, super excited about this. The black wildebeest is finished and I don't want to give him back to Johnny :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

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
