Since I wasn’t signed in when I first read the vote portion…I thought it was a poem by someone really struggling not to buy another gun, justifying the purchase, saying I promise I will sell one or two to three to make up for it and make space…and giving up and buying the gun and another safe...

I haven’t been to Africa, but when I go it will be a .318 WR Nitro Express and a 404J. The second time I go it will be a 275 Rigby and 416 Taylor. And if I am lucky enough to go a third time a 9.3x62 Renner Old African and a 425 WR take down rifle.

SunnyHill Enterprise makes custom bottom metal for the 1903 Springfield. FYI. @ontariohunter

Sounds amazing. Looking forward to the pictures. Is it a 12 GA?

I haven’t made this in a while, but with the small game season in full swing, I think I need to get out and find some rabbits. This is wild rabbit bruschetta I came up with. 20+ years ago. Marinade the back straps in white wine and herbs, and grill. Toast French bread cut diagonally with olive...

Pictures?

I second the 416 Taylor Idea. Maybe do an integral barrel with a quarter rib rear sight. The brass isn’t that expensive comparatively to other DGR’s and you can get dies from CH4D. Skull keeper probably knows places that could do such a conversion on an old classic. It could be “Reborn” as it were.

Steve is good to work with. Upstanding guy. Good luck with the Sale.

Yes he can

I will take it.

Skullkeeper is great to work with. I have bought more than one rifle from him. Buy with confidence.

Also check out the classified section and the good gun deals link within the classified. Sometimes there are good deals to be had. I have also had good luck checking out the Bass Pro website for used guns. Not sure if you’re a club member, but you can get 10% off regularly on firearms. And they...

It all comes back to these few questions. What are you going to use the rifle for something? It’s all around or something to hunt dangerous in Africa? What’s your budget? If you just want a heavy duty rifle with a low price tag, you can find them on gun broker or guns international used control...

Oh, and if you need a piece of wood for your project, you can call Champlins. They are selling their remaining wood blanks for $300. Some are English walnut / Turkish, etc. I got this one shipped to me and am working on turning it into a stock. It’s a treasure hunt. You just never know.

So, I don’t think the 7mm Ruger is long enough for a 375 H&H. Roger made me a full custom on a FN action. He doesn’t have a duplicator anymore. (I now own it). A model 70 full custom would be a better investment, but no tang safety. You can get them in 375 length. There are other...
