    RSM Recoil Pad

    I had the NECG pad installed on mine, the orange one that is. Makes the gun look even better.

    35 Whelen Ruger Hawkeye african

    I replaced the trigger spring and fitted a red pachmyar recoil pad to my 35 Whelen African. Made it much better. Planning on getting the Alaska Arms extended floor plate too. Shoots excellent too with Hornady Superperformance. Have some Barnes that I have not tried yet.

    $25,000 in Africa excluding, flights, tips, and trophy shipment what would you do?

    I would do the most "classic" style safari I could and in the most remote territory possible (after crying with joy for the sudden windfall of money). Of course, it would be a mixed bag dangerous and plains game with Buff at the top and a croc thrown it (I want the skull!).

    For Sale CZ 550 375 H&H Fancy wood semi-custom

    That is a fair thought process, sir! Nothing wrong with the 416 Rem.

    For Sale CZ 550 375 H&H Fancy wood semi-custom

    If it was a 404 or 416 I don't think I could resist. Real shame they stopped making these!

    So.......what COMPANIES do you dislike?

    CZ for discontinuing the 550 (particularly the safari models) Sako for discontinuing the Sako 85 (safari, grizzly, brown bear, arctic) Ruger for discontinuing the RSM and RSE Kimber for discontinuing the Caprivi (maybe they still make the 375 Caprivi?) I don't really hate them haha. Just don't...

    Parkwest Arms - How do they handle?

    I wish I could have done that after talking with them last year. They had a 416 Rigby with the quarter rib, that spoke to me.

    I could be very interested in a 400J model! Exciting

    Any Parkwest Arms feedback?

    Spent alot of time at their booth both times I went to DSC and they were extremely accommodating to someone who can't afford to buy one of their guns. So I cannot speak directly about the guns other than handling them, but the chaps there are top notch.

    Some good express v-notch sights too! And 300 H&H Chambering! Let me dream! Haha

    The MRC rifle could fill the mid ground spot like the Caprivi did. In that $2-4k range.

    Montana Rifle Company factory visit

    I know these will be optimized for scopes, but I wish they would put more traditional express sights on their potential big bore models. Maybe sell some actions too.

    Cool. In the zone of Kimber Craprivi then, to a little higher. I have not seen one of their new rifles yet (MRC that is).

    Dallas Safari Club Convention Summary

    Montana Rifle company had a reel on Facebook showing what looked liked a new "safari" style offering. Did anyone see that in person? Guessing it's a 375. Incidentally, they have taken the reel down.

    That's what I meant. Express style with the magnum action. I get it that they never will, but sadly tastes have changed.

    Ruger 35 Whelen Range Report

    My one uncle has been hunting with a Remington 700 in 35 Whelen since the 70s. He does not reload, but did keep all the brass. I will hit him up and start loading.

    Ruger 35 Whelen Range Report

    Good information. I just bought one of these and a couple boxes of factory ammo to try. Rifle gets in tomorrow. Thinking about putting my Leupold VX3HD 2-8 on it for now and using it for deer hunting this fall.

    35 Whelen Ruger Hawkeye african

    Doctari does not like the Hawkeye African. Too light for caliber in the 416. He did like the Ruger RSM though.

    Wanted CZ 550 300 H&H

    I am really leaning that way, for the CZ action from Wayne that is. I could be waiting forever for a rifle to pop up again. I figure I can build as I have funds, buy the action, refund my account, buy a barrel, and so forth. I did ask Wayne about those actions, and he recommended a Noah Hathorne...

    Wanted CZ 550 300 H&H

    Contemplating this...Does anyone have a CZ550 in 300 H&H (or 300 win mag) like this that they would be willing to part with? I don't know what the cost would be to buy one now, may be too rich for my blood. Worth a shot though...

    Shortest route to a 300 H&H?

    It was a chap named Noah Hathorne in Plains Montana. I have not been able to find any info on him.

    Shortest route to a 300 H&H?

    Old thread revival! I was contemplating buying a CZ action from Wayne at AHR, then a barrel from somewhere, and then a custom stock. Finally, I would have it all put together by some gunsmith. Wayne recommended a fellow in Montana. Not all at once because I can't afford that haha. Am I crazy?

    Between red and yellow was my thought, so I went with red. You should make this a recurring thread with different angles and animals!
