Fall bird and deer camp is based out of Murdo my group. We hunt both public and private ground. There is a fair bit more biodiversity on the prairie than many realize.

Well, I certainly do not need another project, but I do have a set of .242 Vickers dies, and the price is right, so I'm in for #3 the barrel.

My now departed dear friend Paul traveled a similar path, lots of great large caliber bore rifles and paradox guns, then a couple of .577's, an A&N double with a gold duck on the trigger guard and a remarkable Rigby falling block built on a Webley action. I shot the A&N a few times, the recoil...

I'm hoping I shoot this one well, Charles Lancaster SLE, looks to have been built in 1926.

I have a tropical tin if that would be of any interest to you.

My first passion, I went through a bunch and then settled on this H&H Royal, one of the first self-openers that the firm built. Fits like I was the one that it was made for. My collection is all rifles with the exception of this gun, it will be the last one I part with as well.

Anyone have a set to spare? Thanks, Steve

Can we hear about the .475#2? Mine is a Manton.

Rare rifle, very good price. I sold one in the same caliber and configuration last year, not quite as clean for a little bit more than the seller is asking. These ZKK's with the built in peep sights have a strong following, especially in such a desirable chambering.

It is....You guys have some great stuff down that way, I picked some others beauties on OZ as well.

Oh yes, took the class and several others from Len, a long, long time ago. Len was a character, to say the least, I sure enjoyed learning from him.

I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of Gibbs #960, built for the Duke of Westminster, chambered in 450-400 3&1/4" Nitro Express. I have been chasing a top tang safety Gibbs for nearly 20 years, I could not be more happy with what I see. The rifle is cased and the original scope remains with...

I have only encounter that round once, in a vintage Rigby single shot. In the rifle that was in my shop brass could be made very easily from 9,3x72R. The cartridge was essentially a .360 2&1/4" using a .375" diameter bullet as opposed to a .366" bullet. I think you can get by with .360 dies as...

I have a Holland royal double in .240 flanged magnum.
