    Your advice for visiting British Gunmakers

    Watson Bros could also be worth a visit while in London. I ran short of time and did not get there. https://www.watsonbrosgunmakers.com/

    Your advice for visiting British Gunmakers

    You're most welcome. I would recommend contacting in advance and arranging a time. I did that for the makers I visited.

    Your advice for visiting British Gunmakers

    +1 on visiting Westley Richards. The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds is also worth a visit. Holland & Holland, Purdey and Rigby in London were all very gracious hosts. A brief report on my visits last year is at...

    extended floorplates for various actions

    Great work. (y) Would the CZ unit allow 4 down in .416 / .450 Rigby? Previous threads here indiciate some CZ's got 4 down out of the box, and some only 3 down.

    Any fun advice for a visit to Austria?

    You'll love it. During our stay in Salzburg, the wife and I had a perfect 'His and Hers' day. She did a 'Sound of Music' tour, and I hopped on a local (international :ROFLMAO:) bus to Berchtesgaden to visit Königssee and the military history sights at Obersalzberg.

    We love the 375 H&H and Ruger bush thumper Photo thread!

    My .375 H&H seeing some cull action with Henry earlier this year. We had a ball and provided a healthy dose of quality, organic protein to local communities. Thanks for a great week @HENRY GRIFFITHS SAFARIS

    What did you reload today?

    After some testing off the sticks this afternoon, the 250 grain Bertrams out of the .333 Jeffery seem effective on paper, recyclables and twilight hare.

    300 Holland & Holland (pre war)

    @PaulB - What an incredible find! I'm sure you took some decent animals on that trip, but surely no finer 'trophies' than that collection of Hollands that we're all hoping to see some time. Well done. Thanks again.

    300 Holland & Holland (pre war)

    As usual, love everything about it - the rifle, the ‘props’, the lighting and the scope. Appears to be in fine condition and would surely have played a part in some memorable adventures. Do you have any insight into provenance and past owners? Thanks for sharing.
