Had my new one to the range now and its looks quite promising with just one load tried.

The latest on a pet peeve of mine... I was right all along, they flew them in on the pretext of relieving pressure on border crossings, then claimed illegal crossing were down, duh, if you fly them in instead! They now admit, that most of this was fraud ridden baloney, most of the so called...

My avatar buffalo is shown with my .375 Whitworth in Botswana.

How early and what cal? Pics if you can. We love them here. I have a very early 1974 in .458 Win.

Thanks! It helps with the queasiness of new members selling things. Get lots of scammers these days.

They never stay on, I have lost at least 3 into orbit.

Post up a picture of the books WITH your user name and the date written down on a piece of paper.

I search hard to find books on bookfinder.com. There is only the one there from Amazon, price dropped to $4870

Interesting. usually the express sights are only the .375 and .458 cals. Wonder if it was put on post factory, to make it more classic.

I had my Ruger 1-S in .475 Linebaugh out today to the range. Shot well, likes the 400 gr Hornady XTP very well. Mine is the 22" barrel, not the stubby .

Yes, most are beech, I found online that was walnut so bought it to replace the issue stock full of plugs.

I need to space out what I shoot over longer periods, a result of having lots, perhaps too many things to shoot. In my case thats a good thing since I may soon not be buying anymore guns due to a new law that may get passed here soon. It would require a permit and training, etc just to...

Have shot mine a couple of times now and its a shooter for sure.

I got mine some time ago, still havent read it though.

Yours is a custom stock, not factory.

One can hope. Actually I would be surprised if it wasnt a good shooter. Had more than a few of these Mark X/Whitworth rifles and all have been good shooters, even the used Euro imports, marked M70.

There is one on GB right for only $3500!!

Two plus weeks for the waiting period to cool my heels, but got it home today. Looks pretty nice. It has had some work done to it. Rifle was bedded professionally in what may be Marine Tex, it probably was done in Alaska so that would make sense. Has a nice Timney trigger, a Pachy Decelerator...

That one is overpriced. One sat on GI for months and finally sold for $1250, then one popped up on Gunbroker overnight, it was in my email this morning, but sold for a Buynow of $999. I would have bought that one!

BTW guys, Graf and Sons has lots of 7mm bullets on sale and .275 Rigby ammo is on sale for $49 a box, limit 3. Recently it was all over the place on GB and elsewhere but always over $50 a box, some well beyond.

No, it was the first run IIRC. Here is one. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/ruger-rifles-77/275-rigby-ruger-m77-blue-nib-.cfm?gun_id=102857613

They already did, the .275 Rigby!

Nope, early like my .375. My Zastava .270 has the push button type, which I actually like, almost prefer as there is less chance of hitting it and having all your rounds in your pant cuffs. Once during a sporting rifle match I was shooting a tang safety Ruger 77 with the button inside the bow...

It will be weeks before I have it in hand, but in short, it looks like the African version except the sights are Williams and not express. This particular rifle has a side wing safety added with different bolt shroud and a different recoil pad. Otherwise its a Whitworth with the same receiver...

I already have a good shooting .270 in a Mauser. I just wondered what the AH crowd thought of it, being everyone is always hoping for something less pedestrian. The .280AI was an odd choice, but those that have them seem to like them and they are quite rare now. The Whelen is probably the most...

I dont see any talk on here about it, lots of them on GB, also an100 year anniversary model with 22" bbl and no sights. I was surprised to see these just now.

Same thing happened to me on a waterbuck. Hit it with a .338 Win, (OK Bob, ), bull did a backflip, landed upside down, rolled over into the thick brush and vanished! PH and I followed him up, saw him some distance below us, I thought it was another animal, PH said shoot, I was confused, took...

12 year old thread, forgot all about it!! :ROFLMAO:

Half dozen on Gunbroker right now.

Hello! Wrong thread maybe?? LOL :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Nice scope that came on a rifle I bought, but no need of the scope. Nice shape, good glass, minimal ring marks, no box or papers. Looking to get $325 shipped, payment to be paper of some sort, money order, bank check or cash. No electronic options. First to post an "I'll take it" in this...

I have a No.1 in .405 Win on the way, its here actually in the state jail for another week! I had one once years ago and did a bit of playing with top end loads and 400 gr loads to try to match the performance of the .450-400 which was accomplished. I plan to stick with standard loads this time...

I have to concur with the above. I may have commented on this old tired thread some time ago, but not going to go thru 27 pages to see. Fact is, this is another silly attempt to try to make something look better than something else that it is not equal to. I just for giggles took an empty...

Raining and breezy here and about 50F.

The burning ballot box thing is likely just bored hammerheads looking for trouble, as there is no way to know what ballots are in these drop boxes.

Browning actually made some 9.3's too, and the new Win is already there, so no need to do anything. As far as a real BAR? Well, you can buy new ones for about 6-7K if you want one, but semi auto only and in my state it would be a no-can-do thing, it being what they would call an Assault...

This rifle has been sold.

Anyone had one to try out? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/suspected-arson-attacks-destroy-hundreds-of-ballots-in-oregon-and-washington/ar-AA1t4Hm9?ocid=BingNewsSerp I was curious, been looking at vintage Browning BAR's and its said these rifles are made by FN, sort of a BAR clone.

Washington state. Mild weather. Politics suck. No state income tax, but do have sales tax that varies a bit by county. 8.6% where I am, but not on food. High gas prices, but if an Initiative passes next month, we might knock about 50 cents off it. Fingers crossed. Love being near salt water, San...

Condolences to family and friends. RIP

You mean lack of Vegemite?:ROFLMAO:

Oh I have some, have shot it my No.1 Whelen, shoots fine in that one. The No.1 has a nice thick aftermarket pad on it and is much more civilized than I suspect this 77 will be with "Nelson" loads!

Well finally its home! More than two weeks. They called Friday night and said pick yesterday, got there and power was out due to a 3 day windstorm, so the shop was closed. Manager came out and we talked for a minute and then it went south from there, because I asked why no phone call or...

Moving this over to Gunbroker so if anyone gets the itch, be sure and PM first before trying to buy it.

I will have mine home in less than 2 weeks. At the store the trigger was pretty nice, wood is plain, but not as plain as most I have seen.

I find no mention of it in my books. Perhaps a wildcat or just another way of stamping .458 Win mag, sounds more exotic. Drop a .458 Win case in it and see if it fits, or have a chamber cast made. It may be an obsolete black powder round.

Give this a few more days here, then off to GB. I would think all who like such guns have seen this by now.

A very good round. I have its slightly bigger brother, the 8x64s and had planned to take it to Zambia this past July but.... the best laid plans....
