+1 for Murray leather

Great find on a real sleeper... Tuff call on call on changing the look ... My .02 keep the rifle as is, fix your bladder so your wife can sleep at night and give the rest of us a bloody chance :E Dancing: Enjoy

I'll hijack one more time. Paul where else will you be ???? I should be at the SCI show most of the week If you find yourself any where near the state of Vermont let me know !! I can see now where you get your preference for shorter barrels by the company you keep I gotta think that some of...

I took a new Factory Win Mod 70 in 458wm and had the barrel re-chambered to 458 Lott. lengthened the stock to 14 1/2" while I was working with the stock took a file to the cheek piece (I shoot left handed) and re-finished the wood. I Did the same process to a new 375 H&H but re-barreled it to...

PaulT Happy Holidays Your ADI powders are our Hogdons powders.

Been shooting Trail Boss in all of my big bores just put together some Trail Boss loads for a friend's 500 Jeff... Start and end my big bore range work with a half a dozen Trail bows loads they establish then re-establish gun muscle memory and shooting skills after shooting a big boomer. Use to...

A good friend just picked up a 500 Jeff and has asked me to reload for him.. He is interested in 535gr woodies moving at 2000-2200 fps.. Looking for powder and powder weight suggestions Thanks

After some research I found that there are several types of "QuickClot" products, some are composed of shell fish products some are not. Bottled water or clean drinking water is a great way to clean a wound, flush the wound before dressing it will give you an idea of bleeders and what type...

I completely agree with you when it comes to a stalk and approach... But, how many of these videos have we seen where the tracker runs, the PH fires and the Client right behind the PH fires over or around his shoulder. This very same happened last year in Zim with the PH taking a .458 round...

Never could understand the single file approach..

Curious about the Quick Clot, they say it burns like hell, be interested to know of your friends first hand experience. A friend who is a medic jokes that with out it you may be dead when applied because of the burning he says you might wish you were dead... the other thing to consider with...

Here is a Rigby for sale with a bit of Cache' http://www.champlinarms.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30&ctl=GunsDetails&mid=409&StyleID=3&GunID=2646

Probably the best reason the 400H&H has not taken off is there are no commercial loadings for it. In fact one cannot find any Saami specs for it either. The owners of Gulf Breeze Fire Arms in Florida a Dakota dealer has sold quite a few 400H&H rifles and were trying very hard to get Barnes to...

Like my 400H&H pushes a .411 dia 400gr bullet at 2400fps with less pressure than a 416 REM a 300gr bullet at 2700fps .. You should check out Pierre van der Walt"s book African Dangerous Game Cartridges

Ak Yes it is a DR a 1905 Gibbs 450 NE 28" barrels... Not quite sure what combo you are referring to, but it shoots pretty much to the same POI with the 75% loads as it does with my full power loads , the 75% loads shoot not as tight of a group but more than acceptable. I have a load that I got...

Big fan of Trail Boss loads go to the IMR web site for info Been loading 458 Lott loads with 350gr Hornady rn LOTTS of fun

Have you looked into Trail Boss loads? I'm loading Trail Boss in my 450NE using 350 gr Hornady bullets, 405gr cast and 480gr Hawk bullets all exiting the gun around 1200fps(could push them a bit more) and in a 10.5# gun feels like shooting a .22 great for finishing your shooting session POI is...

Shoot it and enjoy

PaulT, I too have had great success with CEB's both Solids and Safari Raptors in my Bolt guns and Doubles. I do have a question concerning Raptors and my up and coming Buff Cull hunt in your NT. I will be taking a 458 Lott and am considering the 420gr Raptors. My past success' with Raptors...

PaulT Hate to say it I bought that double in the early 90's for under $10K, when doubles were just getting popular and 450's were still on the back shelf. It's coming to your neck of the woods in Aug for a Buff Cull Hunt :D

Most of the NECG fiber optic front sights come in red.. I like the green or yellow really stands out Brownells sell fiber optic rods in red green and yellow. Easy to change out just have to make sure it is of the right diameter.

This is also a NECG product

This is the sight that I have put on the last three guns that I have put together.. I replace the red fiber optic rod with either a green or yellow rod which really jumps at you... The see thru rear sight is great , gives a bunch of vision above and below and around the front bead..

The goal is to practice what ever the type of shell holder you are using. If the Gods are smiling you will have a one shot kill, if they are laughing you will be shooting running and reloading these are the times that quality practice comes into play. If you have the ability to set up...

The C1s have flaps the C2s do not I agree with Mr.Carter 100% no flaps .......

I have a handful of the C1s that I use for plains game and hunting in North America. For DG I like his 10 round C2s both in leather and elastic. I carry them on one of his belts that measure an 1 3/4' wide. 10 softs, 10 solids can easily fit in the belt plus a knife and what ever one likes to...

Shoot it......Your practice time for your up and coming trip will make it open and close easier

The price seems steep for a W&S Screw Grip, for that price I would expect an oak and leather case with accessories. But it does appear to be in very good shape and I may be a bit out of touch. The other option is a bespoke VC which will cost you a bit less and be made just for you the way...

1905 Gibbs 450NE 28" Barrels

I went through the same process looking at all of the 40 cals, Rigby, Remington, Taylor. What did I do.... I re-barreled a mod 70 375H&H to a 400H&H. Pushes a 400grainer at 2400fps, 300gr around 2700fps it's now my favorite rifle with out a doubt... Only problem no commercial ammo, which is...

I'm a big fan of Murray Leather Welcome to Murray Custom Leather

Couldn't say it any better..... How she soot?

Enter me.., Thanks

I've noticed that nobody has recommended the VC's double Ie handled them at SCI along with others if I was in the market for a modern double this would be my choice. Like others it is a bespoke gun order to your preferences the wood and metal fit that I have seen is quite spectacular. They...

I purchased a new Win 70 in .375 and had it re-barreled to 400H&H have put close to 300 rounds through it working up loads and getting ready for my hunt last Sept. I have been extremly happy with the gun everything I put through it have been MOA or better settled on CEB #13 400gr solids and...

My new Win Mod 70 comes with a 4lbs.12oz trigger, very crisp but a bit heavy. Have people been having good luck adjusting them??

Currently shooting Woodliegh 480grn softs and solids out of my 1905 Gibbs 450 3 1/4NE, but have not shot anything bigger than a pig with this load. The gun and I are going to Zim for Buffalo and Tuskless and I am thinking of trying Hornady's DGX and DGS bullets as they appear to be of stouter...

Thank you, It seems from your answers and reading various posts that as water becomes more concentrated so does the game and your starting points become more defined...Just how uncomfortable is the hunting in september? Besides the heat is the insect activity more or less..

What month is the best to hunt Elephant in Zimbabwe and why?
