Over the years I had quite a few rifles and sold quite a few rifles. I have been wanting a 12 bore double slug gun, so i decided to make one. I started off by purchasing a nice Sulh SxS from Simpson Ltd. I sent the barrels to the Shotgun Doctor(?) in Amherst, Mass and had him trim the chokes...

What ever became of Mick from Mick’s Guns in in the UK? It was an interesting site to say the least, but no longer seems to work.

I have a 72 cal Pedersoli Kodiak Black Powder Double Rifle that has seen only the range a couple of times. Without really working up a correct load, I get both barrels on paper at 50 yards using one of the two sights. This was with a 800+ grain conical at 90 grains of FFG Goex powder. The...

I am looking at a pair of Rogue Buffaloe Vellies on their website. Can someone tell me what the price of these are? They dont have a dealer in the US. Has anyone dealt with this company? Also are there any other good leather vellies available? Thanks. george

Since being one of the many victims of a barrel and parts scam a while back, my double rifle project has faded away. I have sold my donor gun and now i am ready to sell my reloading components. I don't want to seperate the items so I will sell them as a lot. 19 - Jamison .577 3" un-primed...

I have a NIB 375 H&H Mag (Rem 798 Model) and would like to trade it for a Trijicon 1-4x24 30mm scope. Anyone got an extra?

"Bwananelson" is planning a double rifle shoot in Florida around May sometime. I am trying to get him to combine it with a hog hunt...somewhat like the DRSS shoot in Texas. Maybe we can have another "First Annual" to attend. I think he wants to show off his new V-C 600 Nitro that he purchased...

Missing Maine Wife The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident off the coast of Maine , a man answered his door to find two grim-faced State Troopers. "We know it's late, sir, but we have some information about your wife," said one of the Troopers. "Tell me! Did you find her!?"...

A friend's nephew was visiting from California and wanted to go hog hunting. I arranged the hunt and accompanied them on a Okeechobee hunt with one of my favorite outfitters. We spent the morning in the stands with our bows, but the hogs were hanging pretty tight. We only saw a few deer from...

There has been a lot of activity on the boards concerning plains game and big game rifle suggestions. Here are a few bargains from my favorite supplier CDNN Investments. Winchester 70 Safari Express | 416Rem | 24" Barrel | Matte Blue | Satin Finish Deluxe Walnut 3+1 Capacity | MOA Trigger...

A friend of mine has a 58 caliber Kodiak double that he is selling. He asked me to spread the word. Here is my delema. I sold him the rifle a while back. He has tried everything to get this thing to shoot. I have watched him shoot 10 rounds without hitting paper at 50 yards. I thought I...

I recently aquired a double rifle in 8 x 57 rimmed. Any of you guys had any experience with this round? Is it a good plains game round? With open express sights, what is a good working range?

I am constantly watching in amazement what they sale (and what people will buy) on these TV hunting shows. I have a full (manual) machine shop which I make just about anything that I need. I am looking for that one item that no hunter could do without. Any suggestions? I am tired of working...

I was wondering if there are any types of hunting where hotel points could be used or traded. I have a lots of points and was wondering if I could use them for something I want to do. Maybe trade them for a hunt? Regards, George

I was in the process of aquiring all the componants to build a .577 double when an unfortunate chain of events happened. All the items that I purchased haven't showed up. Until I get the items, or should I say if I get the items, I am out a bit of money. In the mean time a friend offered me a...

As an off shoot of the previous 557 post, has anyone on this board actually built there own double rifle. Through another board's classified section I was lucky (or unlucky depending on how you view this) to aquire four .577 barrels and reamers. I also purchased a donor gun and some brass and...

"Where Elephants Go To Die" by James "Rege" Podraza. Great poems about Safari and Africa. Book is available on his website. Rege Podraza's HuntersTrax.com Rege Podraza, a good friend of mine wrote this book of poetry based on his experiences in Africa. He wrote this while recovering from...

Has anyone had any experience with these rifles - Remington 798 Express? I found a really good deal on them (.375 and .458) and wanted to know if they were a worth a shot!

The hunter walked over to a tree and propped up his gun. Just then a gust of wind blew, the gun fell over, and discharged ... shooting the hunter in the genitals. Several hours later, lying in a hospital bed, he was approached by his doctor. 'Well sir, I have some good news and some bad news...

Fixed pin, multi pin or adjustable pin, electronic bow sights??? So many choices. I am changing to an adjustable single point bow sight by Vital Gear. It is a combination of the two pictures shown. It is a crosshair style bow sight with the fiberoptic yardage markers. I will let you guys know...

After receiving my "corrected" conical bullet mould for my .72 caliber kodiak, I set up my melting station on my back patio. Casting lead is always a fun thing here in Florida. Nothing like adding fuel to the fire. The new Brook's mould is a beautiful piece of machining and it attached to my...

I made a mistake and ordered the wrong ammo for my Kodiak Double Rifle. Of course, ammo can't be returned. I have two boxes of 420 grain +P which cost me $70.00 per/box plus shipping. I will sell this for $100.00 shipped anywhere in the US. Please note that this ammo is for a rifle that...

Is anyone shooting an old .577 BPE? I am considering purchasing or building one. I have a bunch of empty casings sitting on my desk, just waiting to be loaded and brought back to life!

James D. Julia Auctioneers There is an Egg, London .577BPE that I would love to own!

Now that the John Rigby name is going to be put on rifles made in London, what becomes of the California Rigby Co? Are they the same or will there be a legal issue here with the use of the Rigby name?

Not sure where gator hunting fits in, but I had great time accompanying a friend one of his gator hunts. Gators are most challenging. Hunting at nights with a crossbow and harpoon even makes it more challenging! I knew my friend was good, but that isan understatement. We were on the a section...

I finally got a round ball mould for my .72 Pedersoli Kodiak. The balls measure .705 which is .010 less than what most people shoot from these. I was shooting it with a .015 patch and trhe results were OK. Not spectacular , but OK. I ordered two things for this gun. The first are .020 lubed...

EAA (European American Arms) located in Florida has received the first shipment of the Sabatti SxS doubles. Although the first guns in are 45-70s, they will be coming in all of the classic African calibers up to the 600 NE. There is one on GB now at an affordable (as doubles go) $3500.00. I...

Of all the things I fear, I fear poisonous snakes the most. Here in Florida we have our share. Mocassins, Diamondbacks, Pigmy Rattlers and Coral snakes are all over these swamps and woods. The Coral snakes don't bother me, but the others scare me. My wife bought me some snake boots for...

I didn't say who got screwed!

I have a few questions about Asian Buffalo. 1) Have any of you guys taken any on ranches in the US? 2) Are they a challenge or is it like shooting a beef cow in the field. 3) Are they edible? 4) What is the price range where you have hunted? (quite reasonable here in Florida) 5) Rifle...

I have an extra Baikal 30-06 over and under rifle. It has a Barska compact 2 power scope with CZ rings (non detachable). Nice wood. It is the gun in the middle (shown without scope). I haven't shot it with the scope yet. Great entry level double...for those who say they are too expensive...

There is a show airing on the Discovery Channel that will be of interest to all the hog hunters. Maybe us southern boys will be getting our own version of dangerous game! The Pig Bomb!

A friend of mine is selling a Bengal Tiger rug mount. All legal papers included. ~10' long. $8K or trade for double rifle. I will give contact info to serious interested parties. Note: this is a new Tiger mount.

I just got back into archery after many years and never used a release. I finally settled on a Winn Free Flight C-10. It advertises a 15% reduction in felt draw weight, which I was sceptical about. Well, I tried it and I cranked up the bow closer to its 70lb draw weight, which now I have no...

Took my .72 Pedersoli to the range for the first time today. I had about fifty .715 balls that I cast using one of Jeff Tanners custom moulds and some linen patches that Jeff suppied. I believe that the the patches are .015" I was the only muzzleloader at the crowded range and I was a bit...

I am getting back into hunting full swing, so i ordered a new bow. I am a nut for the short compact stuff and I have always owned the shortest bows available in the past...even recurves. Not always with the best results though. When I saw this bow being used on one of the hunting channels, it...

For those of us that may not get to Africa in the near future, are there any Safari Action Shoots started in the US? Sounds like fun. I went to a Safari Action Shooting website, but it wasn't working. I guess it could get quite expensive if you would want to use your vintage double.

.58 caliber Trails Armory (Pedersoli) double muzzle loading rifle. Got the gun on a trade and already have the .72 caliber. Gun has a small chip in the fore end. Has double express sights and sling swivels. I have not shot the gun but metal and wood (except for chip) is in excellent...

Well I got the bug to go hunting after buying my Pedersoli Kodiak 45-70. I decided to go on a guided Florida Hog Hunt. I never shot the gun so I got to sight it in at the hunting area. My shooting it in consisted of two shots at a coke can at about 25 yards. Perfect hog distance according to...

Any one using muzzle loading double rifles on your safaris?

Just a quick hello from South Florida. Just got back into hunting after a 20 year huntless time warp. Actually I let the Florida heat and my work get the best of me. I am back at it even if it is only shooting wild hogs here in Florida. I use a nice 45-70 double rifle, so at least I do it...
