Sure, but is there a good reason why I would want the Hybrid 46M ($1000) over the Hybrid 46DT ($600)?

There any particular advantage of the Hybrid 46M (modular) over the Hybrid 46DT that you're aware of?

Anyone have any practical field reports in .308 for for the .30 cal 175gr HPBT Gameking bullet that's supposed to be dimensionally identical to the 175SMK but somehow has better expansion and terminal performance? I'm looking for a high performance African plains game .308 bullet and think this...

I've got a Brno ZKK 602 in 458 Lott with a custom 5/8x24 threaded muzzle and brake installed. I really prefer using a brake since I regularly wear in-ear electronic ear pro when both shooting and hunting and am generally baffled by the muzzle brake hatred around here (I'm not interested in a...

Interestingly, I spoke to Wayne last year about working on my Brno ZKK 602 in 458 Lott to add his three position safety and trigger plus a few other cosmetic mods. He told me he's not taking on any more work at all, though it's not clear to me whether he meant no more CZ work, or no more work...

So I asked Renner who he would recommend to do the work if not him, and he recommended a fellow by the name of John McLaughlin in MT. I sent Mr McLaughlin an email inquiring as to whether he might be able to work on such a project and a few days later I got a very curt reply saying essentially...

That may be true, but I'm not interested in doing it that way. I'm looking for quality rifle work that will hold its value by being associated with a well known smith, not some random dude in his garage. The reason I chose Renner first was his reputation with traditional hunting rifles. I...

Well, after talking it over with Roger, it seems he would prefer not to take on the work unless he can do the whole package, stock work included. Anyone have any recommendations for a reliable gunsmith who can rebarrel a model 70 with claw extractor to 9.3x62 and also install Rigby style...

Here's his website with examples of his modifications: https://www.rjrenner.com/pre-war-77.html

I've got a post-64 model 70 Super Grade (claw extractor, not push feed) in .270 Win that I'm considering having Roger Renner do one of his "Old Africa" upgrades on, including a barrel conversion to 9.3x62. I briefly considered having JES do a rebore job on it to get it to 9.3x62, but thought...

I've got a CZ 550FS "Bavarian" in 9.3x62 with the full length Mannlicher style stock. I like the look of the stock but I need a practical field replacement for the stock as it's a bit too delicate for most field work, plus my moustache is nowhere near waxed and curly enough to carry it. I...

I'm a big fan of the 9.3x62 as an all around hunting cartridge, and am looking for a handy practical rifle in 9.3x62 that I can use for nilgai hunting in south Texas and maybe even take to Africa at some point for plains game. I'm considering buying a Ruger Guide Gun in 30-06 and sending it to...

When it comes to quality wood rifle stocks is there a middle ground between the lower end cookie cutter machine cut $200-$500 stock makers like Boyd's, Stocky's, and Richard's and the high end bespoke stock makers that charge $5k+ for just the labor to make the stock and have a 3 year waiting...

I'm looking for a new to me rifle in 9.3x62. Ideally, I would want a Steyr CLII, SM12, or Pro Hunter with quality wood stock, but synthetic is potentially acceptable. Also potentially interested in a custom/rebarreled/rebored Winchester model 70 Super Grade in 9.3x62. Not interested in a...

That is absolutely not the same product.
