Sheep are still nervous in many areas around the Northeaster United States, and I'm sure many other areas too! ;-)

I've hunting with everything from 18 1/2 to 26". Personally I prefer the way a 24" or 26" feels in my hands. I think they balance better, swing better on a moving target and assist in recoil management not to mention muzzle flash/blast in low light being greater with a short barrel. But...

When men were men! And life expectancy was 29.... ;-)

Simply Very Very Special! ENJOY!

Classic rifles with modern optics getting it done. 500 NE & 416 Rigby.

Very nice....Congrats!

Fantastic hunts! Thx for the post.

I've heard the same from several PH's about the new DGX. Some said they overexpanded, pancaked and didn't penetrate. Naturally this is all third person info.

I dont think the the Buff are going to know the difference with modern bullets. Have Superior pick a powder with a little faster burn and I suspect you will notice little to know difference in a 22".

always always Woodleigh....

Heavy to carry all day. 10 seconds to remove it at go time....

I would imagine that at that even with minimal expansion you're getting one heck of a wound channel from a bullet of that diameter. A well expanded .416 would be luck to approach that diameter with significant velocity and then expansion.

Trader Keith has a few nice options at reasonable prices...I've used both over the last year and like them both. http://www.traderkeith.com/products.html The Rifle on the left is a full leather option they offer.

Great deal on a great gun and caliber! If it had special select wood I'd be all over this setup!

Hopefully the build will begin in the coming weeks....
