DGX Bonded, great bullet

Received notification from VC my double is still being built and will be finished

The story I am currently getting is the court hearing has already happened and there is an agreement in place that VC can continue operations based on a buy out (though I haven't actually got confirmation that operations are still underway). Also with the information I have been provided my...

That's some wild bruising on the arms, are you 2 sure you are holding your rifles correctly? I quite often do range sessions firing up to 16-18 rounds and sometimes more with my 500 Jeffery and I don't even end up with a mark on my shoulder let alone bruising on my arm. The next day my shoulder...

100% agree, it's my favourite all time cartridge for all the reasons you mentioned

3.255" is what I've got recorded in my load data

I use the RNSN I managed to buy about 7 boxes of them after the Woodleigh factory burnt down. I'm taking my 9.3 with this load as a back up rifle for buffalo and for warthogs on my safari. Probably won't use it for buffalo but atleast I have a second capable DG rifle if something happens to my...

The requirement is energy not velocity. I run 320 grain Woodleighs at 2350fps which meets the energy requirement and most PH's are happy for you to use a 9.3 with the right load.

I thought this was an odd statement as well, although I am sure H&W is one of the best out there, I am not seeing anything that makes them vastly superior. I feel with any high end custom rifle no matter what it's origin, it more just comes down to personal preference.

Well it doesn't look like H&W rifles are maintaining or appreciating in value, at least not this one anyway. New that would be atleast 35,ooo Euro. Very nice rifle.

I should probably also mention that even though I am looking at a bespoke rifle my budget isn't endless, I looked at bespoke rifles from the British makers first even though I was pretty sure they would be out of reach for me but I wanted to be sure before making any decisions. The German makers...

Although resale value is always a consideration for me to some degree, the thought process you mention has not been my approach. I think maybe my OP has been misinterpreted to some degree. Although my original question was around RJ compared to other makers and there is some comparisons between...

Yes both H&W and Reimer Johannsen have quoted 1.5-2 years for their bolt action rifles, this could change depending on upgrades.

With the quotes I have now received there is quite a big price difference between Reimer Johannsen and Hartmann & Weis so this is to be expected. Reimer Johannsen fits between Heym and H&W price wise, I'm talking mostly starting base prices, obviously upgrades vary quite a bit between makers...

Does anyone have any experience with a rifle from Reimer Johannsen? I know they make great CRF rifles but there is not alot of info online about them. I'd like to hear peoples thoughts that has experience with rifles from this maker compared to others such as Rigby, Hartmann & Weis, Heym etc...
