    Reduced loads for .450 Rigby?

    Have anyone found some reduced loads for 400-350grs bullets for this caliber? I am aware of the real cheap 400grs ones in .458, but they require less than 1700fps... I’d like to find a reduced load with cheaper bullets letting me use this gun a lot more! Otherwise I guess the .458 Lott is a...

    McMillan CZ/602 express

    Looking into a CZ magnum in .458, but want a stock that is better for recoil, preferrably a synthetic one. What kind of stock weight am I looking at if I go with the MCM Express stock? What is the difference between 602 and CZ stock? Any?

    500 Jeffery - What gun weight to tame it?

    I’m getting the possibility to try a 500 in not too long. We will see How it goes. I’ll make up my mind then. If it is too hefty - I’ll go .404... Thinking of it, I have actually shot a CZ .505 with 600grs load at the Norma factory. It was «not too bad». Only one shot though. I was really...

    500 Jeffery - What gun weight to tame it?

    I would like to get a 500 J made. What weight should I aim for? I have a Jeffery 450/400 3» double at present, weighing in at 4,8kg. It is delightful to shoot. Just a heavy showe. I also have a light built 375H&H which is more if a thumper. Unsure of weight, but probably 3,6-3,7kg empty...

    Detachable scope mount CZ 550 magnum

    I see this topic has been discussed before, but have not been able to see which mount that is the very lowest one, and What height it has over the receiver? I might get a CZ 500 in 416 Rigby, but would like to know just How low I can possibly mount my Zeiss 30mm scope before I take the leap and...

    Value on Kimber BGR89 .375?

    I have such a rifle I might sell to partly fund a Heym Martini Express 404... The Kimber is hardly used. Bought it second-hand form an old man who had it from New. Goes well, and cycles immaticulate. Two Talley ring sets that clamp directly onto the action. 1» and 30mm. Use the last rings for...

    Heym Martini Express .404 or .375H&H?

    &The Engineer: It would be very interesting to see a picture of that 1,6-42 scope on the rifle. I actually have the very same scope sitting on the shelf. Superb choice! I’ll use it for moose, mixed plains game and som DG hunting like bear, Lion and elephant. Got the elephant bug in 2018 so...

    Heym Martini Express .404 or .375H&H?

    I would actually prefer to use a 30mm scope, but would at the same time like to have as low a mount as possible.

    Heym Martini Express .404 or .375H&H?

    Thanks for the advice! I live in Norway, so will check with the importer. I have a 450/400 3 double, that weigh considerably more, and it is verst Nice to shoot. Heavy but Ok. Also have a light Kimber BGR .375 I feel give me more of a hiding... I prefer slower and heavy recoil over the lighter...

    Heym Martini Express .404 or .375H&H?

    Which one of these had the nicest handling? I see nothing but praise for the .404. Is the .375 balanced just as well? What is the weight difference between them? Scope mount. I see the talley configuration in 30mm is rather high? Would anyone know how high above the top of the bases the rings...

    Fit a McMillan CZ550 stock to a Vektor 500J receiver?

    Planning to build a simple «working gun» in 500Jeff with probably s receiver mounted peepsight/ghost ring. To bring down cost I’d like to fit a McMillan CZ550 stock if possible...? Has that been done? The receiver is a Vektor of RSA made for 500 Jeffery. Desireable 4+1 capapcity. Targeted...
