    Rigby scope mounting issues

    A photo would help. Does it look like the upper left on below?

    Rigby scope mounting issues

    Or being upset you can’t tow a gooseneck with a Ford Maverick, or that a F350 dual axle is hard to park. I think the modern Rigby is quite astute in their products.

    Rigby scope mounting issues

    I thought the single square bridge was often the PH type model and I intended for use with irons sights. I’m sure Rigby will comment as soon as it’s business hours in GMT about options in your scenario.

    Ackley improved chambers

    I’ve had it counted many times, but never checked. A little different every time. Likely nothing a few small bills in local currency couldn’t fix if it came to that.

    Good Gun Deals This Week

    Some were regulated by taking a dremel tool to the barrel muzzle. I believe these were sold by Cabelas. Since then, they’ve had a very poor reputation. Perhaps this is a little like the lingering bad reputation the 458 win mag had for some compressed ball powder loads shortly after it was...

    .425WR - Thoughts

    That’s an interesting perspective. IMO that would be an abomination. I’m pretty certain WR feels the same way. WR has always been an innovative film, at least as British makers go. They’ve been pretty clear they feel they have the right solution here. Of course, they also made doubles with...

    To the poors-I salute you!

    Here, here now rare breed. This is a thread about classism and unearned, ill-gotten gains through inheritance. There will be no talk of merit allowed!

    Good Gun Deals This Week

    I’ve imported about a dozen firearms, including a few from Holt’s, other auction houses and private sellers. I’ve never been charged VAT, so I’ve never done paperwork to recover it. Except for the very first firearm, I’ve imported them myself on an ATF form 6 and C&R license, only paying...

    To the poors-I salute you!

    As they should! They should return to their toiling and lamenting their miserable lot in life, allowing us to spend our unearned means frivolously and lavishly, until they can vote in enough Democrats to take our money and everyone’s guns. ;)

    .425WR - Thoughts

    They are so highly underrated and misunderstood. Mine feed flawlessly and are simply devastating on game. It’s my favorite medium bore as well. I have a takedown (which apparently has taken quite a few tigers when owned by “Jungle Jack Grisham”) and a “straight-leg”rifle as well. Pondoro was...

    Painting Recoil Pad Orange

    The other option, albeit even more complicated, would be to cover in pigskin. A little more British than Continental, this was the treatment for the best quality guns.

    Painting Recoil Pad Orange

    I really recommend just buying a Silver’s pad and a jig. I’ve never tried to paint one, but am skeptical the paint would stick well or look right.

    New Poster from Houston, Longtime reader

    Welcome. Conroe Taxidermy is a great outfit. I’ll be headed down there to pick a few things up this Fall. You’ve got a great trip ahead of you in May.

    European Hunting Clothing

    You certainly have your hunting attire dialed in. In hunting, like so, so many things, having the right clothing lets you better enjoy the rest of the experience. I actually like that little REI hat and the way it folds down the middle of the brim. It fits in my pocket more easily when I’m...
