@A. Swan
There's a few good shops in Qld that may be able to help you.
Cleavers firearms in Margate.
Rebel gun works
And
The barn.
I have been able to get brass from them that others haven't been able to get. Admittedly it wasn't for the big boomers but for the almost dead 25-20 wcf.

Welcome from a Mexican.

Good to have another Aussie on board.

I see you're an SSAA member. Your're probably aware of the SSAA BRGC - a great opportunity to meet like minded souls shooting some cool rifles chambered in cartidges that start a 4 or a 5.

... as well as some that shoot cute little rounds like the 9.3s :ROFLMAO:

Getting involved is what is driving most of my questions here :)

G'day and welcome. What part of Oz do you call home?

Western Australia. With the current state of affairs, I would have to say, unfortunately.

Gday, I am also South African born living in Qld for just over a decade.
If you dont mind me asking, what make and model is your 500 and where did you purchase it?
I am having a bit of a hard time finding dealers that stock large caliber rifles.
My local gunshop is currently inquiring from Winchester USA to source me a model 70 in .416 Rem mag

Nice. I like Qld.
Interesting story about my .500 Jeff. It is a custom rifle built by Sabi in SA on a double square bridge Mauser sporting action. I stumbled upon it on ozgunsales (second hand firearms). It was built for an Aussie PH who runs Buffalo hunting safaris in the NT. He sold it a few years ago to a guy in Qld who I then bought it from. Came all the way to Aus to get myself a SA custom built big bore.
Yes, large calibres are hard to come in Aus, especially new. The second hand market is probably the best option. Also, ask at your local Big Game Rifle Club, some guys there will have guns they would want to move on.

Thank you.

Yes, I'm aware of the SSAA BRGC. I've visited our local club a few times. Great people, big guns and fun times.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
