Well-written response. To be sure, many mistakes were made in that era with land use and the abuse of game populations.

Well, buy the M-70 in 270 and put a decent scope on it,. have a good smith do a little tweaking if needed, buy another in 375 H+H or 416 Remington, and spend the money you don't spend on the others by going hunting. I shoot a Blaser R-93; I like the rifle. I had mine for gee. It's been 20 years...

This is for somebody who has his bags packed and all his travel documents in order. The easy part is just writing the check or doing the fund transfer. It's November 3, so there is not much time.

I would say that is plenty accurate and then some for those scrub bulls and water buffalo you Aussies hunt!

John Rigby makes very nice rifles, on commercially produced actions, Mauser's its the attention to detail that you are paying for, and if you adjust for how devalued the dollar and the pound really are, what you are paying now in terms of price, is pretty much what you paid before World War One...

He is such a blow hard to begin with and he is not worth reading. The single greatest hunting cartridge is the 7mm Mauser/ 7mm x 57mm or 275 Rigby. Everything that has come is just copy to some extent. The Rigby Patterned Sporters were and are some of the finest hunting rifles a person could get...

Well, start with a 180 gr Nosler Partition, a very good balanced bullet in that weight and it will perform very well on pretty much every thing you would be willing to shoot with a .30-06. If you hand load you can work up a good load, use say speer or hornadays for practice and save the...

Well we don't have any Hogs here in CT yet, thou they say that they are in Some Areas of NY state. I have a small plot of land just about 80 acres. Good Deer hunting, but I could see in another 10 or 15 years having a hog problem here too. You can shoot them fast enough. When i was working in...

I shot my first white tail deer at just about that age, my dad back in 1962 gave me a 22 RF and a 7.62 x 54 Mosin Nagant. That rifle was made in 1938 and I always wondered about that. Learned to shoot with that rifle and killed a deer with it. It was a little much for a little guy like me at the...

Thank you, when you look at what it really costs to buy and shoot a double rifle in a cartridge above 470 NE it gets very very costly. Need and want has little to do with it, like on the 5 of Oct. I got my hunting lic. and my White tail tags for the up coming Rifle deer season that starts Nov 1...

Well a friend has a 577 NE. and he talked me into going hunting for Buffalo some years back. I carried that rifle for one whole day just to say I did it. Way to heavy, the next day my old ZKK 602 375 felt a whole lot lighter. Never mind about being able to shoot the thing accurately enough. In...

Well there are people in the world, where 250K US would be to them what a 1.25 for a cup of coffee is to me. Holland and Holland always catered to the folks that could just write the check with out a blink of an eye. Worth it or not, its in the eye of the beholder. A NULA from Mel Forbes would...

The 270 is fine, when you get down to it, there is not a whole lot of difference between the 6.5 x 55 7x 57 308 30-06 or the 7mm RM. When you get right down to it, stick a good bullet were is suppose to go and get out the skinning knife. I understand PH's wanting clients to bring heavier guns...

One born every minute. Then again what would you expect from the guy that commissioned the work. Money aside, its tasteless, like a gold plated Ak-47. Give me one of John Rigby Rifles any day or one of D'Arcy Echol's Legends.
