My trip to the gunsmith

Gives you a feeling of how much you’ll appreciate the finished job. And of course, the amount of time that goes into a project.
 
Thats awesome! Paul's work is exquisite. Was that your 416 Taylor I saw on the work board last week? :DAnd, not being in Ontario is ok because their town is gorgeous! It makes a great pilgrimage:

No not mine but could be my buddy Steve's. Christian is building Steve's 416 on a Mauser action, he finished my work in September of 2016.

416 Taylor is a very cool cartridge. Do you mind sharing some pictures of the work Paul and Christian did?
 
Just a few pics of the 416 Taylor. Paul did the engraving on the front site and the rings. The rifle was built by Hugh McIssac from Simcoe, ON.

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
