Beautiful rifle

I have a Custom early 400H&H from Dakota. Just finished an all weather one. Both shoot right 1/2” or less with either A-fame or Break-Aways that are .410 dia 400gr. Shoots NF SS And Cup-points right at .05-0.6”. Also have shot .411 dia with no change in impact or group size. Maybe a...

Given this is a private land hunt, can you hunt at night legally?

Eland Kudu Sable in that order

Used these in USPSA 3-gun competition since they came out! They are tough and really great scopes.

Anyone using open cell Aquanet like material used in aquariums?

I've used both Dacron and Kynoch wads in my double rifles. Mostly using 3031 (470) and RL15 (450-400). I really don't like the Dacron and wads are impossible to find. Just starting to regulate with open cell backer rod. In 500 NE the Dacron actually works well with 2.0 gr over H335.

Following, I need some too for 470-500 and 450-400

No insult intended to Sumo, he is a cool dog with a lot of pedigree history!

No you were not the only guy in AK drinking iced tea. I love tea hot or cold! I dislike coffee (love the smell of it brewing) but tea (green, black, orange Pu-erh, white or Chai) is always in my cabinets. My coffee lover friends love Columbian!

The summer I was bite there were 4 other people bitten in about a 30 mile radius! Two of those bitten died despite heroic measures for the time (1962). I consider myself lucky. You are correct that the anti-serum has become so over priced it is essentially not affordable, this is thanks to...

A word of caution, Double Rifles are very addicting. I've owned several brands. Have 3 Heym's and a Chapuis (and just purchased my 2nd). I really like V-C round bodies but have never found one that is even close to fitting me and with the status of the company won't even try to order one. The...

I was bit by a Prairie Rattler at age 8, received 14days of treatment in the hospital, and several weeks to fully recover. Since that time I have lived by the moto "the only good snake is a dead one made into a pair of cowboy boots"

Take the 338 and the 375 with A-frames or North Forks and you can take virtually any animal on the planet if you can shoot them well (exception is elephants without solids). Most guides in Texas are full of BS and remember the best tracker in Texas is only slightly better than Stevie Wonder!

Someone needs to buy this before I loose my mind!
