I have a Ruger RSM in 416 Rigby, and the recoil pad is hard as a rock. I was wondering if I replace the recoil pad if the rifle will lose any (if any) value among the Ruger fans? Not that I'm going to sell the rifle any time soon, but just in case one day I decide to part with this rifle. I'm...

Below are some additional dies I had in my reloading bench. Please see attached pictures and prices, check or money order accepted. If you are new to the forum, check will have to clear first. Please post I'll take them, and follow up with a PM. I've attached pictures of all of them, these are...

I'm cleaning out my reloading bench and noticed that I had several duplicate reloading dies. Please see attached pictures and prices, check or money order accepted. If you are new to the forum, check will have to clear first. Please post I'll take them, and follow up with a PM. I've attached...

Bought a Blaser R8 Pro Savanna 9.3x62 from Toby. Got to meet Toby today, unfortunately didn't get to see his kitchen counter. I'm excited to own this beautiful piece of machinery and can't wait to take it to Africa with me. I also purchased a 375 H&H barrel from someone on this forum as well.

There is a good chance that I may never be able to afford to hunt the Big-5, so in my view I did the next best thing. Last time I was in South Africa I made sure I got some quality bills with all the Big-5s and framed the bills to go in my trophy room/office. :)

I would like to send a big thank you to Gordy & Sons Outfitters. I ordered some Barnes 416 Rigby ammo and received Hornady 416 Rigby ammo instead. Yesterday I sent them an e-mail explaining the issue, and this morning Will was called to arrange an exchange. I called Will back, and they are...

I just read on here that Delta flew the mounts (trophies) of one of our members here. I hope this puts a dent on Turkish Airlines monopoly and hopefully the prices will come down. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/south-africa-first-time-to-the-eastern-cape.83486/ It's towards the...

What is the easiest way to ship ammo within the US? An FFL is saying shipping ammo is complicated, but wouldn’t say how. Thanks!!

If anyone is looking for 275 Rigby stamped ammo, I purchased some Hornady 275 Rigby ammo from Gordy and Sons. https://gordyandsons.com/

I purchased an Enfield P14 from a member here, and I would like to replace the recoil pad to increase the LOP. Besides the usual recoil pad makers, are there any other you would recommend. I'd like to replace the pad with a red recoil pad. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

A good friend of mine who has never been to Africa talked me into going next year. So, we are going to the Eastern Cape to hunt. Now, both of our wives will be going, and after the hunt we are planning on spending a couple of days in Cape Town playing tourist. We are going to the Easter Cape...

I asked Raven Rocks Precision if they could order some 275 Rigby stamped brass. Below is their comment back to me. "I'll look into that next week and report back. I'm guessing less than 5% of folks would want 275 Rigby stamped instead of 7x57? Help me out with some ratios estimate on that...

In preparation for my 2025 safari to the Eastern Cape, I was wondering if anyone has flown Delta flight with firearms from Atlanta to Cape Town, and then flown Interlink to Pt Elizabeth? Here are some of my concerns/questions to those who have gone this route. - Would traveling with firearms...

Well, the moment I've been waiting for has finally arrived. @gizmo (Top of Texas Taxidermy) texted me yesterday to inform me that he was already working on my mounts. So I asked him for pictures (or it did not happened :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:) to start a new taxidermy thread. Here are some of the...

Anyone has any suggestions for what powder you have used on a 416 Rigby and Barnes 400 grs TSX bullets? Looking at their website, the only powders shown are RL22 & VIT N560. I'm sure other powders are suitable for this combination. Thanks!

What a ride! Well, the date finally arrived, as of yesterday (30 Jun 2024) I am no longer employed by the Federal Government, and I am officially retired. It's a bittersweet feeling, but I believe the time was right to pulled chocks as we say in the Air Force. My parents were able to witness...

Not sure if I'll ever be able to complete a Big 5 hunt or not, but a man can have dreams and goals. LOL. Does the Big 5 have to be all males, or do females count? I've seen elephant cows deals on here, and was wondering. For the record, I hunt because I love to hunt, and I don't care about...

I'm selling a 300 Weatherby Euromark rifle. It is a Japan made Weatherby, and according to the Weatherby book: The Man. the Gun. the Legend. There is a small safe handling mark on the left side above the trigger, hard to see on the picture. I could take a better picture is someone wants to...

Christensen Arms Mesa in 6.5 Creedmoor, plus 8 boxes of ammo (3 Federal & 5 Winchester), 300 brand new cases of Nosler 6.5 Creedmoor, Tally rings, & Redding Deluxe Die set, all for $2300.00, plus actual shipping and handling from my FFL to your FFL, ammo, dies, brass and scope mount will ship...

I know Weatherby is not well liked in this forum. This rifle has some nice lines and a beautiful wood stock and not too expensive with an MSRP of $. 1799.00. I think this would be great rifle in a 257 Weatherby configuration. Without the muzzle break of course. :D

Has anyone shipped a handgun lately? I just did, and it cost $222.00 to ship it next day air, plus transfer fee to Aurora, CO. :E Sad: I was told by the gunshop that handguns have to be shipped next day air due to liability. Ouch!!!!! :mad: :mad:

Yesterday I placed an order with Midway USA, for a total of $51.37. Order went through with no problem and received a confirmation e-mail. For some reason I checked my bank account and noticed 11 charges of $51.37 from Midway USA. I checked their website and noticed that they were already...

I have a complete Sitka Stratus Jacket & Bibs, in Obtifade, men medium for sale, asking $550 shipped. Never worn, labels removed but I still have them. If this was bought today, you'd pay over $700 for the set. The jacket and bibs are wind proof, and breathable. I'll post pictures in a few.

I have two partial boxes (45 each) of Swift A-Frame, 375 Cal, one is 250 grs & one is 300 grs, $180.00, plus $15.00 shipping.

I purchased these over the holidays from Raven Rocks Precisions. Unfortunately, they do not fit me, I'm either too short or they are too long for me. I have to open them way too much and I just don't feel right with them. I'm asking what I paid for them, not trying to make a profit at all...

Not sure how to start this short story, but after too many of my friends telling me that I should share it I, decided to write it down and share it with you. It’s a bit long winded, but something had to be said so you understand the severity of what my mom and I were going through. Trying to...

Good day, AH community. I'm looking to see if anyone has for sale a used set of 416 Rem Mag dies? Thanks!

So, here I was on day three of this dangerous hunt in Middle Georgia. I was sitting in my blind waiting patiently and trying not to think about the humidity, the heat, mosquitos, spiders, and whatever other crawling creature that lives in this dark and dangerous place. It was nice and toasty...

Good day everyone. Does anyone have a source for 275 Rigby stamped brass? I've only been able to find 7x57mm Mauser stamped brass. Thanks!

Wife and I have been thinking of possibly getting an RV; if we do it most likely a fifth wheel. We'd like to get one so we could travel to the coasts/beach with our pets and not have to worry about boarding them, and what not. Also, so we can be in the comfort of our own bed, and cook when we...

Happy Father’s Day to all you wonderful dads. Wishing you all a wonderful day. My gift was a surprise visit from my daughter and grand daughter. :love:

Good day. I was wondering if anyone has any 375 Weatherby brass they could spare? I would like to get my hands on 5-20 pieces, or whatever you can spare. It doesn't matter if they cannot be reloaded, they will be turned into dummy rounds and never used in a rifle. A friend is making some...

I found this, and figure I share with my fellow AH members. I have no affiliation with them; I believe it's a great deal if you are looking for 416 Rem Mag ammo...

I have a Win Mod 70 Super express in 416 Rem Mag, that will not hold the last cartridge in the mag. The rifle cycles all cartridges without any issue, but when it gets to the last one, it pops out as I eject the cartridge before the last one. If I load a single cartridge, it pops right out...

Good day everyone, I'm selling one of my CZ-550, Safari Classic in 375 H&H, with a Nikon African Monarch 1-4, on quick release mounts (I believe they are Talley's). I have paperwork, but not sure if I have the box or not. The rifle has been sitting in my safe since I purchased it, and I'm not...

I just received the bill for the clearance of my trophies. First, the price from SA to the US changed. Second, there are some charges that seem iffy. Asking for those with more experience than me, please advise. Dip & Pack/Taxidermy Name: Air Freight: $1,350.00 Insurance Value: $3000.00...

While in South Africa, I had the pleasure of firing my PHs CZ-550 416 Rigby. Well, as you probably know, I now want one now. I guess I'm growing up to the big boys guns. LOL!!!!! I have a spare CZ-550 chambered in 375 H&H, and I would like to rechamber into a 416 Rigby. I was wondering if...

While I was waiting for my safari on the Eastern Cape, @DE KLERK SAFARIS posted a special on a lioness hunt. The price was too good to pass, and I asked my biggest fan and financial advisor (wife), if she was ok with me adding this hunt to the already booked hunt I had. I explained to her that...

Well, my departure date is quickly approaching. I leave on Wed out of Atlanta on Delta to Joburg, will spend the night at Africa Sky, and depart the next day to the Easter Cape to hunt with Game 4 Safaris. I'll spend 8 days there chasing plains game (Kudu, Eland, Bushbuck & Nyala), plus...

Has anyone flying out of Atlanta know if there are places at the airport to get a PCR test done? With all these changes, I want to be safe, and have one done just in case. I'm going to look at my local Med Stop and see if they can do it. If anyone has a good lead to where I can get one done...

I've been a member of this wonderful forum for quite some time, and about 99% of the members here are civil, and well mannered. Always there to help out with their experience, and suggestions on what works and what doesn't. Recently I asked a fellow member if he had any more of XYZ bullets...

This is very disturbing, and how twisted these articles are. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-hunters-imported-more-than-700k-trophies-in-disturbing-trend-report/ar-AAV2NTt?ocid=entnewsntp Some misleading highlights of this article: "According to data from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife...

Here is my South Dakota 2021 hunt report, 12 - 21 Nov. This year, I was after deer, pheasant & fishing walleye. My trip started with a shuttle ride from my town of Bonaire, GA to Atlanta Airport. The 2 hour ride was uneventful, and I arrived at the airport with plenty of time to check in. I...

I'll be heading out to South Dakota in the next couple of days. I'll be hunting whitetail deer (2 tags, buck & doe), pheasant, grouse & prairie chickens. My local friend told me he is taking me walleye fishing too. I've never fished for Walleye before, and I've never fished in SD, so this...

I'd like to ask a question to those who have hunted PG & DG with a 375 H&H. Next year I'll be going to the East Cape to hunt PG, biggest being an Eland, and smallest being a Bush Buck. Right after that hunt I'll be heading to the Kalahari to hunt a Lioness. I am planning on taking my AHR CZ...

Midway USA has this case cleaner for over half off. Does anyone has the same cleaner they can tell me if it’s worth it or not? Thanks!

Anyone knows where I can find in the US a distributor for Rogue hats? I checked on google, and they are only distributors I could find are overseas. Thanks!

One of our members brought this to my attention, thinking that it was probably chicken sh*t. I don't believe it is, but checked GunBroker to see. The same individual had the same rifle listed 4 different times, and all ended within 2 days of each, and had the same asking price of $900. The...

This is flat out criminal. How can these sellers get away with this. Over $100 per pound. :mad::mad::mad: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/893848591
