    What would you ask Holland & Holland?

    The H&H store is right around the corner up above the Berreta store. In fact on the top floor of the Berreta store there is a door over. I left my umbrella in H&H and the Berreta folks retrieved it for me that way.

    First shots Winchester Safari Express 375

    +1 on a new M70 .375 being a shooter out of the box. Mine digests everything in 300gr well except Barnes solids. I will do another test on that as it was the last 3 shots from trying a half dozen different softs and solids. Could have been copper fouling or maybe she doesn't digest those...

    SpaceX IPO ?

    We are a significant owner of SpaceX. The $2T ipo valuation being bantered about would have the secondary market per share valuation at somewhere $600-610 a share. I think I see quotes around $660? The underwriters are going to try and sell 25-33% of the offering to "retail" investors. If I...

    The new to me John Rigby .416 Rigby

    That is a fun little Bailey Bradshaw double in .22 hornet. The wood on that gun is insane. To me anyway. Will be a fun plinker and practice when I need to switch when shooting the .470 and the .500. I need to train on the double trigger system.

    Looking to buy factory ammo in .416 Rigby and .470NE

    I use it extensively. But sometimes guys have ammo left over that is spare that they want to clear out.

    Looking to buy factory ammo in .416 Rigby and .470NE

    New guns will apparently work for food. Need some "food" to feed them and find what they love, like and hate.

    The new to me John Rigby .416 Rigby

    Well I brought this up on another thread about H&H qd mounts. I had the opportunity to pick up a Rigby at the right price. London gun, probably too fancy for mw to own long-term but goodness me...hold one of these and you will understand the difference. I don't love the scope on it...may...

    Chapuis or Merkel

    I own a .500 and a .470 by Heym. As stated, I am a Heym guy but I am curious on that specific comparison. For many folks, a Heym might be a dream but a Chapuis and Merkel are much more available. They may be the available double ownership dream. So to be clear, I personally believe Heym...

    Nothing like the first time...Africa, girlfriends and jail...I'm told.

    Chapuis or Merkel

    I have become a Heym guy and have exactly zero experience between a Chapuis and a Merkel. Nada. Zip. Zilch. My question is out of curiosity -- if you have experience with both, which did you prefer? Fit and finish? Ruggedness? Handling and balance? Repairs needed? Accuracy/regulation?
