You need to contact Simpson’s Ltd. They are the foremost experts on Lugers in the U.S.

Just saw this. Thanks for resurrecting this thread. Those rifles are as close to perfection as I have seen lately!

Rick Lowe Custom Leather in FL. makes exactly what you’re looking for. Very tasteful, almost looks like the guns were intended to have it.

I am going to have a different opinion about this than most others. Haven’t shot Game in Africa with this caliber yet, but I have loaded Cutting Edge Raptors, and solids for a friend of mine who has taken four Buffalo and an elephant with it. I would suggest going a little lighter for the...

Honestly, if you were to carefully remove that barrel and sell it, you could probably buy three barrels to replace it with.

I have a Sako l61 actioned custom for sale. It has an MPI fiberglass stock and a stainless steel barrel. Right now can’t remember if it’s 22” or 24”. If you’re interested send me your phone number or email and I can send pics. Also have a fair amount of factory ammo and reloading supplies...

I am a hog hunting guide and have a couple thousand hours with my eye looking through a thermal scope. Basically you’re looking at a small tv screen. Other than having a constricted pupil when you look away not one ill effect. This sounds like something specific to that brand of scope, although...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Cutting Edge, and don’t look back.

It all depends on the bullet and how much velocity can you get. I load for a friend’s 450 NE double. He has a shoulder injury and can’t take full recoil. For his softs I load 295gr. Cutting edge safari raptors, and for solids I use 325gr. Safari solids at 2150 fps. To date he has killed 4 Cape...

If there is another one, or the deal falls through, I’ll take it.

I have a buddy that booked a Hunt with Jeff several years ago. Circumstances changed and he ended up having to cancel the hunt a full year out. Jeff would not refund his deposit. Just so you know there may be some integrity issues.

What they didn’t tell you was that the family that own Swarovski, considers their sport Optics line to be the redheaded bastard step child of the family. If it wasn’t so lucrative, they wouldn’t make them at all because they don’t really care for them. Also, I learned a long time ago if you...

Alliance sells every pound of powder they can absolutely get into the United States. Which is about a fifth of what they used to be able to considering that they can only put powder on one cargo container per cargo ship.

Instead of wondering about which specific action to use, I suggest about 10,000 rapid cycles of the bolt and pulling of the trigger. Can be a combination of dry fire and live fire, but I would start with the 10,000 number and work up from there.
