Perfect summary

Those two calibers are easily sufficient enough out to that range.

No kidding? Maybe I ought to just leave it in there afterwards.

Oh man. I’ve been re-reading African Game Trails and Gary’s Rigby business card is my bookmark. May he rest in peace.

That sounds like it would have been a nice rifle if you could have gotten it done. I mentioned it here because I hadn’t heard about Rigby launching anything new lately.

Anybody else catch Marc mentioning a .322 Rigby on the latest Rigby podcast? Developed in 1916 but not produced, parent case is .416 Rigby. Marc called it “essentially a .338 Lapua.” They start taking about it at the 14:30 mark. Seems pretty interesting to me.

Rigby will thread the barrel for you, no problem. They will also modify the throat in order to utilize heavier bullets in a .275.

Nice. The family and I will be there in June for ours.

Here’s a recent oopsie where simply hopping out of the bed of my work truck hung my finger on the bed rail.

I’ve been married 20yrs. In that time I’ve had many close calls with my ring getting hung up on something. We both decided to switch to silicone and our actual wedding rings sit in a jewelry box together. I suppose it’s not for everyone.

I wear the qalo silicone ring. It’s just the basic black one.

The only thing on my list is Cape Buffalo. It’s harder to figure out what caliber rifle I want.

Thanks y’all. I guess it makes sense to have it milled off if it isn’t needed.

What is this cutout near the bolt release on older Mauser actions? My initial thought was for loading rounds from a stripper clip. Then I saw an action that had the cutout but nothing for a stripper clip. Thanks

You ever do a big bore rat shoot? Welcome @rossk. Good to see another Oregonian around.
