Well to give @Rare Breed a pen brake :) here is a fine thing that might be common to many on this web forum, but to me, this is a very fine thing. I am quite excited. I have wanted a classic wood stock rifle for a while, this is my first safari rifle which I just got yesterday! 1991 Heym in...

Hi Whit, A lot of what drives a pen up in price (besides name brand) is the nib. Steel nibs are much cheaper, then you start getting 14k gold, 18k gold, etc. The gold nibs are often very smooth and can break in nicely with time wearing down to align with someone’s writing style but to be honest...

I was going to try and convince you I actually use one monolithic bullet and kill two feral pigs with every shot but I figured you wouldn’t believe me…and you would be right! :) If only I could shoot like Nathan Stuart!

Thanks @DaddyFlip that was very informative!

I have hear a number of folks mention that more important than the press is getting good quality dies. What brands or models of die are considered good or what are the ones to avoid for large calibers? Are all the big names fine, RCBS, Hornsby, Redding?

Actually it’s two extra rounds. Lol, who said anything about killing one thing?! I’m shooting multiple fast moving targets!

I’m going to try and find one and float & glass bed the barrel…(and yes thread and cap the barrel too, before I start a war, for practice not the field :)

Lipsey’s MSRP is listing at $1659 but I see people have gotten a lower quotes. The Alaskan arms extra round floor plates are $279.99

I collect fountain pens and have many beautiful ones, but none will ever be as beautiful as the one you hold in your hand.

Thank you!

Is there a best LOP and method to determine for a DG rifle and or medium (9.3x62/375HH) to large bore (416)? Does LOP matter as much for these rifles shooting 50-150yrds? Thanks.

I was wondering has anyone had their rifle stolen or permanently lost in getting to their Safari? Trying to get a feel for how rare or not this is considering some of these rifles are pretty steep, in which case maybe renting or bringing a less expensive bolt gun which might be decent but...

@ @Daniel Cary Are the 4th and 5th pictures 470 Capstick Rifles? They are gorgeous!

Hi Kilo, Beautiful rifle, a work of art! in your picture it looks like one barrel caliber is 0.375 and the other is 0.300. I noticed on the parkwest page they mentioned you can get another barrel but in the caliber family, I wasn’t sure what that meant. Do you know if that meant any 0.3xx...

I hope it works out for them but they are trying to sell the gun business and the property from what I understand, which might be tricky. If it works out there may still be a gun store there but I suspect it will be hard to do. I didn’t think gun store profit margins were very high and if the...
