It will be interesting following this thread, as experienced riflemen compare the Rigby to Parkwest. Where do I spend my money? Its a good problem to have!

The Williams fiber optic front sights just pop for me for quick target acquisition, but I know they are not rock solid from breaking. I always keep a spare fiber optic tube. My first set up with these, an 1895 pre-Rem JM Marlin 45-70 just really worked. In the woods and forests of Upstate SC...

Meopta Optics are solid. he Meo Pro 6x42 with duplex type reticle is very nice, I had one mounted on a Ruger 77 MK II in 223. Very clear and accurate. I have Two Zeiss 4x32 Conquest built by the Meopta factory. (US East Coast). Very clear, and light gathering at dawn and dusk was better than...

The essence of exercising dominion over creatures, as given by our Creator. Giving crucially needed protein to those less fortunate, to enhance the diet of villagers and their children, is the ultimate mission. I am blessed to have witnessed this firsthand in rural Acadiana as a teenager that...

Very nice work, @Gert Odendaal, looking forward to seeing the final Tru-Oil finish over the alkanet root. I am a fan of Tru Oil, as just a home hobbyist. Sending a PM.

What type of rifle? It seems to work well!

@David jr , I really appreciate your knowledge about the metalurgy of lead alloys, and bullet performance. Thanks for informing us plebes. My grandfather was a blacksmith, forge welding broken plows, tractor axles, etc. I loved to watch him work. Crafting a properly cast and hardened lead...

Great discussion. What about SD when the bullet is penetrating the target medium? Mono metal, bonded, or cup and core? Reference from Pierre van der Walt, African Dangerous Game Cartridges.

Fantastic write up. The best part is experiencing the people that reminds us we are all endowed with the love of our Creator. The trophies taken with such a classic rifle are not bad either!

Good story, thanks for sharing. I hope that if I get to 83 years old, I can still shoot a 375! Great write up on one of my favorite rifles. The Classic Super Express stock handles best for me compared to the current Saari Express. The rear sight is, in my opinion a poor design. I do shoot...

I had a CZ 550 .500 Jeffery for a couple of years. It was a bit too much in recoil, I sold it and brass dies, bullets to an AH member who went on to take a nice buff, up close and personal. It came with a mercury recoil reducer in the stock. Given my thin frame I need all the recoil reduction...

Umm, a 500 Jeffery, was it a one shot stop? ;)

Interesting insight. The Gulf countries are not shipping jet fuel (or just oil to be refined), might as well pass on the savings, and recapture some market share. On another point, $6000 Business class on Emirates is what I (company) paid in 1999 on BA or Emirates to from the Middle East...

Mr. Graham Wright wrote the essential book for double rifle shooters, to learn how to wring out accuracy and consistency from double riles. Shooting The British Double Rifle is an essential must read for anyone serious about doubles, especially for reloaders. After a couple months rereading...

Question based on ignorance: What is Cooties? Down here, you had to go to the college infirmary for that and stop dating that girl.
