New member looking for a contact

Thanks, I'm getting old enough, 76yrs, and think my hunting days are slipping by. I have a few nice big rifle caliber rifles, but don't know if I'll be able to use them.
My old 416 Rigby

I have some pretty rifles, but they shoot well and need to be used.
Thanks for all the welcomes.


Butch, for a "used" gun, that sure is pretty. Looks like it just came out of the box.

Yes sir, all of mine are built to use. As I stated above, age "76" and after 5 neck and spine surgeries, I'm not as steady and able to walk well on rough and grown up land as when I was younger.
 
Welcome! Beautiful rifles for sure
 
Morning Butch, you've got me shaded by a year. I don't get around very well either. My neck and spine are fine but my knees and ankles have seen better days. What make is your 416 Rigby? I too like that stock.
 
Hi Butch! Welcome to our forum. Glad you found your contact. I am pretty sure you will have no problem selling those gorgeous rifles to a new home when you decide it is time to so. We have more than a few members that are likely already thinking of becoming that new home someday!

It is a 1917 Enfield with work done by Nick Hughes and James Anderson. I was fortunate to be able to find a high serial number,unused, receiver to start.

Sure not looking to sell anytime soon. Still have 2 in the mill right now. I love beautiful rifles.

It is great to have you over here.

I hope you decide to set a spell. We can always use some wisdom from a guy who's been around the block a few times!

And we love rifle porn, so keep it coming! :)

Nice rifles. Any trophy pics form hunts? With pretty rifles in them of course.
 
Well, I'm not much on photos. Here is a Axis deer with my little Mauser in 250-3000. I do have memory scars on the stock from kicking it accidentally when it was resting against a tree.

It is a Peruvian turned down to small ring.

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
