I have a 89b in 577 on order as well. Ordered it in Nashville 2025.

Have a patient who is and audiologist and told him what I needed. He made me a custom pair of electronic muffs for right around $900. They work flawlessly. Best piece of advice he gave me was to never store them with batteries installed.

I've had good luck with Reloader 15 and a 275 grain CEB Safari Raptor. That powder may work well with the Hammer. I've had good results with Hammer bullets on plains game. I'd like to see how they perform on Buffalo.

These were the cat's meow glassing the shoreline for Bears. Our outfitter had a pair and from a boat there was nothing better. The stabilization made up for the lesser quality glass.

Mark builds a great rifle. I have a LH 375H&H that shoots everything well.

My first double was a LH Krieghoff 500 NE. Great rifle, accurate, regulated just about anything you would put in it. I really liked the decocking lever and never found it slow or cumbersome. I'd have no problem owning another one. After the Krieghoff I went the custom route and had a Heym...

300 Win Mag barrel for plains game. 416 Rem when I'm not shooting my double.
