Yes, I agree. If a country’s firearms regulations make it too complicated and/or prohibitively expensive to bring your own rifle - effectively creating “a rental gun only” proposition for foreign hunters - I’d cross it off the list entirely and spend my hunting dollars in gun-friendlier...

I know a guy who hunted deer once in a while with his 458WM, just to be able to shoot it on live game here. However, for the deer he used 5744 to develop what he called a “bowling ball” load. LOL!

Despite that the rifle and chambering combo are a bit on the rare side, it would sell in a nano-second if you were in AK. Yeah, as you say, it would see hard use in very inclement weather conditions, but for a resident hunter in rural AK that “goes with the territory,” as they say.

From memory, my BRNO likes 74.0grns or thereabouts. I don’t have my notes in front of me. But the “deer load” is below that.

The Speers hotcores are the only 235grn bullets I’ve tried. I found an accurate “deer load” (moderate-level velocity) using Varget. This load could also double as a practice load. I use F215 mag primers but will try the F210s to see what accuracy I get.

We need to see some additional pictures of that .505 build. Looks like a beauty.

Yes - even more so than the .257WB.

Once again, you have no idea what you’re babbling about. Who said anything about “sending a sight off to” a ‘smith? Obviously, you have a reading comprehension deficit. The full q-r rear sights are, and were, simultaneously fashioned and zeroed for the chambering of the custom rifle they were...

Yes, that is an impressive build. Very nice, OP.

I guess I was right. You have zero taste or, apparently, understanding as to how classic or “vintage” DG rifles are set up. And “vintage” has nothing to do with that sight ^^^. Compared to the classic full quarter-rib rear sight, that sight in your picture looks like a piece of cheap...

Yep, the 51st state has issues.

Only if the brass comes with one of your three .425 rifles. ;)

Where can someone find new, headstamped .425 Exp. brass today (not make it)?

Man, $7500.00 on GB all day long. That’s one has been listed for years now. Seller won’t budge off his price. It does come with 40-rds of loaded A-Square .425 ammo though. Too bad you can’t find .425 brass anymore.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. “Erupting wooden collar”? :rolleyes: That only proves all your taste is in your mouth. :A Whistle: The classic full quarter rib rear sight with one standing sight and two folding leafs was extremely effective at close range, unless modified to...
