Thats a gorgeous rifle, CRS. I would love to have one like that but the wife seems to think we need to make morgage payments. :)

You may contact IFG-USA. Last I recall they still had some. And when it needs regulated Ken Owen is your best bet. I just got my 450/400 back from Ken and he did a terrific job!

I managed to get ahold of Ken Owen. He is still available to work. So I will be sending it off to him after my trip. If anyone else has a similar issue I recommend looking him up, and I'll post an update when I get the rifle back.

I appreciate that!

I have been working on loads since I got it and everything has shot in the same area. I have not tried a different bullet yet which I guess will be my next step after the holidays. I have been looking at woodleighs but haven't taken that plunge yet. Working on a budget atm, saving for my trip...

Thank Erik, Either works for me. I am a good (not great but good) reloader. I worked with 8 different powder and multiple loads for each one trying to get something that would work. The only reason I went back to IFG is I have a hunt coming up and had dreamed of taking this rifle. With every...

Erik, I would appreciate that. I understand it is frowned upon. I do have a dog in this fight, although I believe Justin made it clear there is no fight to be had, I stretched and sold possessions to make this deal happen. It was a dream come true to finally own a double, and now what was a...

Well Erik, I stated that i was told the rifle would only shoot with Old Hornady ammunition, only after I was told to buy a box of factory to try. When it didnt work James was not surprised and told me that of course it didnt work, hornady had changed the load. If i may ask where did you have...

Well Gizmo, yes you are correct. And as I mentioned in my post. With ammunition you can no longer get. I was told by James High the current produced ammunition will not work in that rifle. Is this James or Justin? PS. I also have target of groups shot with current factory ammunition. From...

I'm a new member but a long time reader here. I similarly came across a deal on a sabatti much like this one. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I bought one, poured about another thousand into ammunition trying to get something, ANYTHING, that would shoot out of it. IFG told me to load above hornady...
