Well it certainly didn't take MS long to see the light, the .458 was only legitimised in 1956. They were straight on it. Pity they don't still make them. I remember reading of one of the more well known Elephant cullers in Zimbabwe relying on the MS as his primary culling tool. I just can't for...

Sheeet. $7.60 for a 20 box of .458's ! I'd be whacking, packing and stacking buffalo three feet deep with ammo at that cost o_O Around the same cost per round now. What's the date on that catalogue H.H ?

A real diamond in the rough. Suits you to a tee Russ :cool:. I'm glad you persisted with it and didn't give up. No, it's no Westley Richards or bespoke custom rifle but it's definitely enough and more than functional and now you have a personal connection with it. It will, without any doubt...

Congrats on an awesome Pronghorn. Well done, he looks more than just mature and an exceptional example. My perspective on hunting for inches. When I was outfitting, here in Australia, I would specifically deter those wanting to book a hunt with a "guarantee" for a 100" bull. Not because I...

:E Lol:

Hmmmm. I see Badboy is a starter. I'd be wanting to line-up at the sausage sizzle BEFORE Badboy lines up ! I'm picking he's pretty good on the grazing. Just saying is all.

Congrats on a stunning Ibex. Thanks for posting.

Making lemonade !

What a flog.

Sheesh, some of this is hard, heavy reading. I will limit my contribution by saying that I have yet to see anyone kill a buffalo with a cartridge. Usually, the cartridge remains in the rifle and, as has been touched on elsewhere, the animal is killed by the bullet. Most would do well to...

This is a great initiative, good on you Mark. As you know I'm currently involved in the renovation from hell. I simply can't afford to not be there when I should be there. If you need confirmation now to firm up numbers/costs/spaces etc, I totally understand and will not cause disruption by...

Awesome looking dog there BF. Good looking country too. I'm on my second GWP now. Penny, she's 11 and retired from hunting now. We also have a second Wirehair, Rusty, but he's always been too lazy to hunt. Absolutely nothing more rewarding than remote country hunting with a companion/hunting...

Beautiful double, gorgeous dog and pretty Chukor partridge. Stunning pic. One for the office wall. Thanks for posting.

That looks very "Brno-esque". Beautiful rifle. Reminds me of a Brno 21H. I was offered one a few years back, in 8x57, mint condition for not a lot of money. I tried hard to see how an 8mm would fit into my needs and just couldn't make it work. One of (I have many) my greatest misses, in not...

Not sure that a New Haven (two-piece bottom metal) will fit into a B&C stock without a considerable amount of modification. I'd go with the cheap Ebay take off stocks. They're light-weight and stout. I have one on my .338 and it feels like shooting a 30/06.
