Find an early 20th century English gun, maybe have to put some love into it but it will be a piece of history and completely functional….it all depends on budget. As previously mentioned if you want to buy a new modern, Heym , chapuis, merkel are the best for the money new guns with traditional...

I've never seen anything like that, but it looks like its very nice, easily adjustable, probably threaded for Lyman or Williams Aperatures.

RIA is going to have all the guns of Yellowstone series for sale in the near future. Spencer in an episode of 1923 was asked and he said it was a 416 rigby, which you are correct was not period correct, it appear to be an incorrect action type for that period as well if I remember correctly the...

Cool find

Nice rifles all,…exquisite tastes on this site for sure.

Re-engineering large predators or any of the fawns from that era, not a good idea. Nature wanted them extinct, it should be left alone. What’s next, the great saber tooth cat introduced into the Rockies. Ya, great idea.

Barnes combo every time

I’d shoot anything that was free and needed to be removed. A buddy and I once shot 13 springbok on the last day of a Namibia hunt for $50 a head. The first 7 days of the hunt were spectacular both of us taking many great trophies. Note to self African outfitters…don’t casually mention at...

I just threw up in my mouth a little……just kidding, to each his own. Suppressors are here to stay and part of riflery,…just not for me on dg rifles

I’m trying to understand the context of all this information, perhaps someone could catch me up. It seems to me that you are calling the current rigby out as being smoke and mirrors so to speak? I’ve mentioned in previous threads that pretty much all the elite firearms brands over in England...

I would check with gunmakers guild and see if someone there recognizes that mark. Looks American style to me, unusual no checkering though. Looks a little Gary Goudy like but not that cheek piece, don’t think he ever did that swirl on the back end of it.

What does the rest of the stock look like…is it American style?

My Anschutz practice rifle, complete with Zeiss 1.1-4 Diavari safari scope and suppressor. 13 chipmunks and 5 rabbits last year.

Anschutz is the best there ever was and ever will be.......if you like modern the Volquartsen straight pull is pretty unreal.

Free country, free thought, no limit.

Priced as a cull yes for sure.

Thats a major challenge, good luck. Maybe take a rifle and have someone carry it for you in case you have to do follow up

Any of the big 3 German brands 8x30s, all you need and there is a noticeable difference carrying 10x40 vs 8x32. You will be looking at stuff at a much closer distance than say hunting in the western mountains

The good old days for independent reps was in the 80’s & 90’s, pre micro manager/bean counter tools like email, spreadsheets, teams calls, call reports, etc. if people only realized when you have to have a team of people making sure another team of people is doing what they want them to do...

What the hell is meant by “changing laws”, like where you live, they can come into your house and take your shit? Maybe think about taking all your stuff and moving elsewhere.

Like any other industry there is no shortage of unscrupulous individuals, It definitely isn’t the good ol’ days.

Buffalo are a very tough animal. I agree with most on here, there are better choices than a 45-70 for buff. That being said, I worked for a guy named Ed Stevenson for a spring back in early 2000’s can’t remember exact year, but that fella arguably had more experience killing giant bears than...

On one trip I took to Mozambique I was in quite a precarious situation twice with lions. I’ve never hunted lions but I’m guessing that they are easier to put on the ground than a buffalo….but after being in that situation, it would be hard to imagine a better cqb lion rifle than a lever action...

That’s pretty awesome.

Thanks for the kind words Tom, means a lot, enjoy working with you as well. Hopefully see you soon or chat and hear about your next adventure

Been an independent sales rep for 30 years, the last 18 in the firearms and accessories market. Lots of ups and downs, some great years some bad years, met and work with lots of interesting people. But the key to being able to hunt is as previously mentioned, avoid bad debt, don’t live beyond...

If I was going to buy one there would only be one choice ALCHEMY

45-70 can mean a lot of things, I for one wouldn't hesitate to use for example the buffalo bore 430 super hard cast flat meplate solid at 1925 fps on buffalo or anything else big,...couple that with incredibly fast follow up shots, whats not to like about it. That being said, I'm probably never...

I'll second the Boyt Gaitor recommendation. I like wearing gaiters, they keep sand bugs, seeds out of you boots, if you wear tall boots you can probably go without. Light jacket, couple sets of clothes, a good hat, sunglasses, rifle, ammo, binos and you're ready to go

I don’t think I could be without some sort of light, either a handheld or my favorite is a small surefire single cell light that hangs around neck on a lanyard. Perfect for getting around at night in camp.

That’s a great sight, I believe it’s the same one Weatherby uses on their custom shop safari rifles. No idea who makes them

I think Bertram still makes the brass, finding bullets I reckon will be the hardest part. That outfit CH4D in Ohio USA can make you dies,.....and if you want to go down the rabbit hole for bullets you can buy moulds from Accurate Moulds and have Montana bullet works make them with super hard...

Nosler Ballistic tips were never great, but they were easy to get to shoot well in most guns, and a lot of custom rifle makers nowadays still tout these explosive type bullets in "super accurate" custom rifles, along with all the others, berger, hornady, etc. Show me a Gunwerks or any other...

For all the other threads that question whether a rifle can have “soul” this is a good example and explanation of that.

If European countries don't start making some changes, the next mass migration will be out of Europe.

An elephant hunt is the only hunt I would take two guns, double and good 375 or 40…..unless you can scope your double. Otherwise I only travel with one rifle.

If you're going to spend 2-3k on a scope, buy a Swaro or Schmidt and Bender, I've owned and used many S& B scopes over the last 25 years and IMO they the pinnacle of rifle optics, I've added 2 or 3 Swaro's into the mx in the last 5 or so years and have had great experience with them as well.

1" tube Swarovski Z3 3-9x36,....its a real shame they just discontinued it. Should be able to find one for $750-800. It doesn't sound like you are a 2k-3k scope guy, so don't start now. I just put one of these z3 on one of my 375's and I love it.

I agree, I load to cannelure and crimp, vary powder charge for accuracy

I had, handloaded, and used both, if I had to choose, I would do the 500 J, shorter action, shorter stroke, easier to load in a regular press, and can get great performance out of a shorter gun with shorter barrel.---->IMO

You have to measure each rifle individually to be exact, most will just give Max Overall Length tip to tip

Bump, priced reduced to $6250

As others have said, 22LR, 375, and a 12 gauge

If I was going to spend around 20k on a bolt rifle call me American, I'd spend it on Breeding, Beuhler, Weibe, MNR, Griffin Howe...or something from the USA, where I can talk to and have work done without a bunch of hassle. Doubles are a different story.

I had no idea, they appear to be a full service gun shop and retailer......interesting. Had never been on their site before,......thanks for the info

Reimer Johansson, Theo Jung, Hartman & Weiss, always been kind of shrouded in mystery. Probably a level of luxury most won’t experience in life. Seen some of all their work, elite level rifle building from artisans that clearly are gifted with rare skills

SOLD Pending Funds.

I would argue that the 500 Jeffery is one of the best big bore calibers, and here's why. Operates on relatively low pressures, can be built on a standard length action, brass lasts forever, I've gotten 9 firings out of a set, sure could have went further. And, as a handloader, I've been able...

SOLD.
