Nice to see the work is finally getting started! I'm pretty sure it will come out looking awesome with all the plans you have for it! Have you decided on what engraving you want on it yet?

Looks horrible matt, I'm sure that even though it's set up the wrong way I can find a home for it for 50$ so you can just cut your losses.... I expect a full report on Wednesday at the latest or I'll spam your inbox until you post it!

Sadly they weren't interested in exporting the rifle, otherwise it would have a new home already :(

Ohh, and I especially think that a box or two through my 9.3x74r barrel set for the double would get you back on track and get used to the double :)

HHS, you have just been lulled into a false sense of security with that supressed .308 of yours..... Jumping from 22lr recoil levels to a 470 is a pretty big step :sneaky: Leave the bigger bores until your shoulder has healed up ( I know its hard since they are so much fun to shoot!!) And once...

Congratulations and thanks for sharing! Very nicely written report.

Well I don't have experience with many doubles except for the Krieghoff 470NE that I currently own but I have no problems shooting it as a lefty even though it is a right handed rifle. The stock is 100% straight though so it fitted me really well even if it did have a cheek piece on the wrong...

Like always a pleasure to read your stuff mate :)

Well, for me it is the satisfaction of doing it myself, the price aspect(10 rnds of 470NE for 150$ anyone?) and that some of the calibers I shoot you don't have that many choices of bullets if you stick to factory loads. And it is always a way to get out of the house and shoot some more :)

Thanks matt, The Lott will actually be purely for wild boar hunting over feed in the dark with a 7x50 illuminated Zeiss. Still hoping for that 600+ lbs boar to step out :) Think I might try the 550gr Northforks for it to see what they can do :) The 404 will be both a "backup" to my 470 and a...

Apparently friends are for making friends buying new rifles ;)

So my addiction strikes.... I have long wanted a rifle in the classic cal 404Jeffery and finally made the decision to order myself one. Sadly there is a fair bit of waiting for this rifle to arrive (4-6 months) but they say that waiting is good for you.... So what did I order? A Mauser M03...

Sorry Witold but I have to disagree with you there... Claiming minimum caliber .338 is just wrong. A .308win or 30-06 is more than adequate for the job. If you don't hit the vitals or cns it doesn't matter what caliber you use, just use common sense and don't try to reach the vitals from...

I shot my Eland earlier this year with the NorthFork 180gr but in .308win without any problems. Perfect mushroom and it only went about 20yds after the shot. Shot it at about 120 yds or so on the shoulder. Grab the heavier bullet or even step up to a 200gr a-frame or Northfork since you got the...

Really nice writeup, especially for someone like me that is addicted to hunting all sorts of pigs! Love the photos and your descriptions.
