I assumed the German gentleman was talking about the W/F mark in his email since the name included two W's and an F (Fritz Wendel, Weissenhorn) but I suppose he could have been talking about the triangle/4 mark. Frankonia appears to have imported firearms and marked them with a mark extremely...

Thanks for reminding me about this thread! I got in touch with a German gunmaker and he was able to identify the engravers mark, this was his reply; "The stamp it's from Fritz Wendel, Weissenhorn. Fritz Wendel was a gunmaker and coming from suhl. After the war he was gunmaker in the krieghoff...

$1775 plus shipping! This is the last price drop before it heads to gunbroker.

I won an auction on a cool little Ruger Bearcat that I'd like some help with figuring out. The serial number puts it at 1972 production, and I enhanced some pictures of the proof/possible engraver marks. The eagle with the N underneath is of course the "nitro" proof, while the cross hatched...

Price dropped to $1900 plus shipping. Don't miss out on a fantastic thumper!

@Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy provides a prompt, no hassle experience as well. Be sure to post pics of what you harvest!

It's funny you mention that. I was comparing it to my 550 in 375 H&H from 2014 and everything just seemed a  little better.

'99 manufacture CZ 550 Magnum in 416 Rigby. Not 100% condition but darned close.Trigger is well tuned and it feeds/ejects smoothly oriented in any direction, including upside down. Comes with what I believe are Warne 1" low QD rings and 15 rounds of HSM 350gr Barnes ammo. Will ship in a new...

Sold to @Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy !

This one might go cheap. Obviously the barrel length is marked incorrectly, I messaged the seller to confirm. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1075037758

The brass problem isn't so big of a deal with 475 Linebaugh being so readily available, lots of people just trim. I like my brass to match my gun, so I picked up 500 pieces of 480 from the run Starline did back in March or April.

I don't have any experience with one for you, I went the 480 Ruger route but there is a couple on Gunbroker right now in the 9.5".

Here is the video I referenced in case anyone else wants to see it.

Sorry, I didn't see the barrel length question. It's 16.5".

It is indeed.

Yeah I posted a thread in the .375 and up forum that has a video of a guy shooting one suppressed. It sounds unreal!

It does indeed!

Is that a "safe action" trigger?!

Lots of fun, but would be even more fun if it were left handed like me! This looks to have been a professional or at lease semi-professionally done conversion. Phenomenal Timeny trigger, Timney safety, and Japanese Nikon scope sighted in for 25 yards with 230gr FMJ. Finish looks like...

Haha yes, .45 ACP and I'll have to check what the twist is. Of course the safety and trigger are Timney, not Talley, but thats what I get typing right before bed. Unfortunately my silencer collection tops out at .357 currently, but this thing has me tempted to get another.

It's even a BRNO! Not exactly what you had in mind, is it? In all seriousness it's pretty neat. It looks like the Rhinelander Arms mag well, ejector, etc. but with a "professional" barrel job versus the Savage style lock nut barrel the conversion kits came with. Obviously a VZ-24 action and...

Sold.

The 405 grain are apparently hard to find Remington bullets. Dies no longer available. Price dropped to $100 shipped.

Correction--the jacketed flat points are 405 grain, not 400.

You probably saw it, but I have a 300 H&H reloading bundle for sale here in the classifieds.

Bump

I have 50 plus pieces. Let me know if you want them.

@sfal I think I have some. I can check when I get home here in a few hours.

Sounds reasonable. $200 plus shipping.

Unfortunately I have no idea. I got this with the rifle and it was all unused in my ownership.

The buyer of my 721 only wanted the rifle, so the ammo and reloading bundle is up for sale. It includes the following: -42 pieces of brass -5 reloads with what I believe are Gamekings -6 factory Federal Premium 180gr TBBC -62 reloads with 178gr A-max -10 relaods with 178gr ELD-x -RCBS Dies...

What's the going rate for new .375 H&H RP brass? I have 250 pieces I was about to go through and sort, etc but am wondering if I have more than I need...

They were made by Williams. I'd start with a call to them.

Not a bad idea. Eye relief is easily adjusted, irons not so much.

NECG has that neat QD pad setup, which seems like it would be a good solution to the LOP/weather interplay situation but I don't know that I want to invest in it for all 3 rifles, plus I'm a little leary of the QD durability aspect. Does anyone know how thier pads compare to Pachmayr in recoil...

Well I just acquired the missing link in my battery of left hand CZ's, so I've been trying to figure out what I want to do to really make them a "set". The first and most obvious thing that came to mind while handling each rifle back to back was making the LOP consistent across the 3, and thus...

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply. The pores don't really bother me, but I would of course want the surface finish to be consistent, so would I be sanding with pretty fine stuff? How do you know you've sanded enough?

So I've seen this done with just stripping the finish rather than sanding. What are the advantages of sanding vs just stripping? Filling pores? I think I'm going to try this with 3 of my CZ's.

Not to rub anything in, but my dream .375 came in yesterday!

The 550 came in today. The wood isn't half bad! Action is slick as snot and overall the rifle is really beautifully finished. The stock definitely feels large, but isn't uncomfortable. I'm leaning toward having a synthetic stock made for it if anything.

What are your thoughts on the H&H Improved? I can't decide if it's more of a good thing or a waste of time and money.

I'm interested to know! Is it an A-Bolt II?

I believe that one has just had the sights removed. If you look closely at the picture of the end of the barrel you can see the two front sight filler screws peeking out. If I'm not mistaken they all had sights, even the 24" ones with BOSS.

Fascinating. @Themauserkid has your conclusion varied from your earlier assessment?

That's odd, I don't think I've seen one in .375 H&H  without sights. Here is a pic of mine I sold last week to a great member of the forum. Edit: I didn't see the great member of the forum commented right above me.

Did we ever figure out if the first rifle was a reblue?
