    Custom 505 Build

    I thought about the 378 and 416 Weatherby as well. My only problem is finding brass without waiting for special ordered brass. I was looking into the 37XC seeing as it very close to the 378 Wby in case capacity and I can get Peterson brass easily. You’re likely right on the 20 moa rail. I was...

    Custom 505 Build

    I have been toying with the idea of using a Cadex CDX40 action for a 505. Im so happy to see someone has actually done it!! Awesome set up! I can’t wait to see it in a walnut stock! I was also thinking about just getting a CDx 30 in 338 Lapua Mag and putting a 22-24” 416 Rigby or a 375-338...

    New from Alberta!

    That’s impressive! I sold all of my lighter weight rifles. I had a Ruger RSM in 375, I definitely liked the weight of that. Also my CZ 458wm was fine too. My next rifle will be on the heavier side. I have a 22lb 338 Lapua for a target rifle. The recoil is very tame without a muzzle brake. My...

    Thank You! I had a feeling there would be a bunch of us from Alberta on here.

    New from Alberta!

    Thank You! I don’t blame you! I haven’t been to AZ yet, but I’m sure I will. Mexico is where I end up in the fall. I have bought and sold many big bore rifles over the years, definitely have an addiction to them. Now I’m looking forward to hunting in Africa with them.

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    Yes, sorry I reread my response and it sounds kinda rude. Yes, we can all do as we see fit. I definitely do agree with the “You get what You pay for” when it comes to watches. My wife didn’t understand at first. But now she gets why i like expensive watches hahaha. Cheers.

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    You certainly get what you pay for. My beater watches are for places i could scratch/ destroy my watch. I don’t believe in putting my finer watches into situations where i could potentially do some damage to them. When I'm working or restoring my custom truck I wear an Orient, outside of that I...

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    I don’t have a watch I partially wear hunting. Im definitely into watches! But i can certainly say Im so far into a 2 month trial on a beater Orient automatic and Im shocked at how good it’s been. I have been torture testing it at work, also with sudden extreme temperature changes, like going...

    Best device to call USA from Africa?

    15/16/17 Iphones will support satellite text with the right IOS. You may have to wait a few minutes for satellite communication. My wife has messaged me in remote areas and its worked just fine. You may get a message saying “waiting for next satellite”. SPOT also has a satellite communication...

    New 375 on the Market

    Those are all awesome rifles! I can imagine that .510/338LM Improved is very effective on game! I was looking to build a 510 Wells a few years back, but with Canada putting in new laws regarding energy limits the plan died. A switch barrel rifle is definitely a good idea. IBI Barrels is...

    New 375 on the Market

    Oh believe me, I’m well aware it will not be good at either. Basically the Jack of all trades and master of none, is what it would turn out to be. That’s why I was thinking just building a dedicated hunting rifle that has the accuracy to take a long range shot. Think Weatherby Accumark with Iron...

    New 375 on the Market

    Im assuming by gun bearer, you’re referring to something on rails at 105mm, similar to what the Germans designed… Hahahah

    New 375 on the Market

    I have been wanting to build a 375/338LM for a while now. I just wanted to simplify neck up the Lapua to 375 with no other changes. A dealer here in Canada always has Peterson 338LM brass in stock, and Ive had great luck with it in My 338. I also started looking into building a 37XC that i could...
