    Blazer S2

    Export from the UK is fairly easy. I have now exported a few rifles and shotguns from the UK to Canada. I’m not sure about the US, but here I can do the whole import and customs clearance myself. There are deals to be had for sure in Europe, sometimes it requires communication in German...

    Any Issues with 375 H&H Belted Mag in quality Double Rifle?

    In a good quality rifle ejection works well. I have a Heym 88b and the ejectors are great. On a non ejector it would be an issue but a good quality ejector works well, Westley Richard’s figured it out a long time ago. Of course ejectors for rimmed cases are simpler, and theoretically more...

    Krieghoff 500/416

    According to Krieghoff in Germany it was regulated with 410 grain Woodleigh softs loaded by LFB in Germany. I've found a good supply of Norma ammo with 410 grain Woodleigh softs, so I'm going to try a box of those and see how it regulates. I've also found some 410 grain Woodleigh solid component...

    Krieghoff 500/416

    Well last year I sold my .404, that left me with three different .375s (a Mauser, a Blaser R8, and a Heym double) but nothing bigger. Then I found a deal I just couldn’t pass up. A nice 500/416 for a price that was simply too good to be true. Now I’m just waiting on the export license from...

    Load Information For the 500/416 NE With Barnes 400 Grain TSX Bullets?

    I logged in to look for 500/416 reloading data and saw this without even having to search. I guess it’s my lucky day. I guess my lucky streak is continuing, I got a bargain so good on a Krieghoff 500/416 that I just couldn’t turn it down. My local store has H-1000 in stock so I’ll grab some...

    Single Shot Saturday - Show us your Single Shots!

    Here is my only single shot (apart from my muzzleloader). It’s a Heym 44b in .270 Win. I hunted Whitetail a bit with it this year, but haven’t harvested an animal with it yet. It makes a nice pair with my .375H&H Heym 88b sidelock double.

    Mauser M12 rifle

    I have an M12 in 30-06, with a walnut stock and open sights. The balance and handling are phenomenal, the trigger is amazing, the sights are top notch, and it’s accurate! I have plenty of other rifles but my M12 is never going anywhere.

    How many of you hunt Africa with your Blaser???

    May I ask which Negrini case that is? It looks like a great option

    Road sign in Africa

    I wanted to get my photo by a “hijacking hotspot” sign but my uncle wouldn’t pull over and stop there….

    Shipping a rifle scope from Canada to the USA

    The market for stuff like this is much smaller here, but as suggested I think I’ll just list it in Canada for now. If import to the US was simple I’d just list it here, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

    Shipping a rifle scope from Canada to the USA

    I know it can be a pain to export rifle scopes to Canada from the USA due to ITAR restrictions. Is it the same shipping a scope to the USA ? I’m curious as I have a Swarovski Z6i 1-6x24 EE that I don’t have a use for, and should probably sell. Also, what would be a reasonable price? It has...

    Why did you buy a 6.5 Creedmoore?

    I bought one because the guy I foolishly sold my .270 to wanted a 6.5 CM. So I bought the 6.5 and traded it to him to get my .270 back :)
