Well I have had 3 different pair of russells...Prickley pear bird shooters, mountain PH's, and some light sude chukka with a gumlight minimalist sole. Well, I am a slow learner. The bird shooters I have are great, I love them no questions ask...the PH's have been back twice and still do not fit...

I had one of Butch's guns in a 577 it was a great shooting gun--but just did not balance that good. Granted it was an early gun and a few of the guns I have felt of late were a vast improvement. I would like to look at his long bar screw grip he is building now, his guns have evolved better and...

Well the only scopes I have on my 375 are the old Leupold VX-7 1.5x6 on my 375 RUM, and the VX-6 1x6 on my 375 ruger great scopes. Leupold-1-6x24-VX-6-30mm-Riflescope-P49435 Ed

Paul true, I had one and it took elk, and nilgai without any problems,. The only Eland I have taken was last year with a 375 RUM. My bullets broke up--and it was a f*uck *p to get him...about 2 hours of tracking, and a track meet in the end to run him down and finish him off. I used the...

The 9.xx64 is hell on wheels...it is every bit is good as the 375 H&H is..get it shooting with 320 woodleighs and any of the 286 grain bullets and you got a great cabiber that is street legal for DG almost everywhere!!!

The Bean counters are getting ahold of ruger too. They use to make some really nice claissic looking rifles...now they are starting the laminate, removable mag...and a muzzle break crap...our American history of making nice guns...has gone to the way of the AR...stamp them out cheap...put a clip...

Big cats Limpopo in South Africa--big cats!!!! Namiba lots of cats some brutes there too

I bought my 3 nephews there first rifle and my daughter is 5 and will be getting her first one in a year or 2. I have bought 2 260's and 1 7x57, gun weight and fit is the most important. They each got steyr prohunters with the adjustable stocks--they have grown into the guns and each now shoot...

I love hammer guns...I really wish they made a hammer gun that was was priced under 35K, I would look at buying one! Really cool idea on a hammer gun! Hambrusch Hunting Weapons Ed

Holy cow!!!! What a great deal! Wish i did not have a Alaska trip planned. As most of you know Louis is a great outfitter, He will take good care of you, I have hunted with Louis 3 times and he takes wonderful care of you. The Van Bergen's are good folks!!! How many slots do you have...

Well just a rebarrel will damn near take you to the $1,000 dollar mark. A good barrel now is $275 to $300. We Charge $350 to cut crown and chamber, that is 650 there. THere is $650 no sights no blue... We just built Louis at Spiral Horn a 404 on a Winchester M70 LH. To do it proper it is...

What a awesome gift! I remember the first really nice rifle my parents gave me. It was a H&K 300...still have it! Congrats! Ed

First of all let me say I have never shot an elephant--but have seen a few 10.75x68 built. With good woodleighs at 400 grains I would say YES it is good enough for elephant, it will do what a 416 remington will do or close to it. On that note though make sure if you are getting it built it...

My R8 tends to shoot the heavy bullet weights of the caliber better, except for the 6.5x284 barrel I have. You will really enjoy your R8 and the only thing I do not like about it is the increased cost of barrels, a semi wight fluted over here is close to $2,800 now. I have hunted all over with...

Just to add..I know the buff are the crown jewel of the hunt--but the plains game hunting on the open farm is pretty good too! 31.5 inch Waterbuck! Big ol bull Eland! Nice ol hard headed blue Wildebeest! Great deal Louis--wish I could take you up on it--but I have to pay off my...
