There's a Whitworth .375H&H at Cabelas Saginaw for $899!! It's on GunsInternational

Sold some more. 5 boxes left.

My gun is a Rodda - was answering matt85.

Beautiful Springer!! I have one too that was originally a 10.75Xsomething and was rebarreled by Carl Bock to 8X57JRS

If the follower comes up that high in the front of the magazine then the left rail has been taken back too far. Or, in other words, taken back farther forward than it should be. This is exactly right. The follower lifting in the front would not stop forward bolt movement, unless it is truly...

There isn't one. Does the chamber/throat look "newer" than the rest of the bore indicating a more recent chamber ream?

Well, it's a 461" bore anyway. The cast does look a LOT like a 450No.1 Express though so maybe at some point it was rechambered to a more accessible cartridge. Also, in my original 461 Gibbs, the rifling runs right up to the case mouth whereas yours has quite a bit of lead from the chamber to...

I was in the middle of a dissertation about my gun collecting and the breaker blew... In short, I have enough but there are always going to be opportunities to allow in more of the right kind at the right time...

He's asking about a tool to put the cannelure on the bullet. I had one but never found a real need for it so sold it off.

I have the two 1991 issues but they are a little rough. A quick search on eBay turned up all you are looking for even the 1989 first issue
