    First Double, Krieghoff Classic 470 Nitro Express (1996)

    I'm reluctant to answer this because there are a thousand members with more experience and knowledge than I. However I'll go for it because someone has to go first, and if I say anything wrong then I'll be sure to find out and then we can both benefit from it. LOP Mine was too short and as a...

    New vs vintage 450/400NE double rifle

    Im having issues with my Chapuis (9.3x74r) but they're honouring a warrenty on it despite it being used and 23yrs since it was made.

    New Rifle & some reloading advice sought

    Hello from Sunny Scotland and congratulations on the new rifle! I've got a 9.3x74r (Chapuis but back at the factory for a warrenty repair), and I love it - I'm sure you will too. Firstly the lead ban only applies to within the UK only and doesn't come into affect until 2029 so you've a few...
