Its funny this guy in the youtube I just watched survived and actuallly shot an elephant with a push feed Weatherby Mark V .I thought from reading only CRF rifles would work .I trusted Weatherbys in Alaska for 12 years through hell on earh anything Alaska handed me .I think Weatherby Rifles are awesome and the actions are the smoothest and stongest around .I am so glad this young hunter survived a cape buffalo and Elephant hunt with his Weatherby rifle .
 
Back in the Old Days, before YouTube or Al Gore invented the Internet, guys used large bore front stuffing black powder burning rifles slinging soft lead, and most survived.

Hunting Dangerous Game is dangerous. It all depends on how dangerous you want things to be.
 
Are you sure? Maybe the bolt was secretly modified to resemble a “CRF”?!
 
Balderdash, I say! He's dead as 4:00. Hollywood witchcraft!
 
I'll hunt dangerous game with a controlled round feed rifle, you can take your chances!
 
......I dunno....call me dumb, stupid, idiotic, lucky, or Forrest Gump. I've written about my cheap charlie Rem 700 416 Rem Mag build on some of these strings in the past. I had the bolt modified by a master gunsmith to accept an M-16 extractor and after several hundred (yes-several hundred) rounds through that kit, I have yet to have a stuck round or a single failure to extract. I shot it in 100+ degree temps to 65 degree temps without a problem. I used OTC ammo as well as my own re-loads. My Weatherby Mark V in .375H&H in my avatar, is push feed and thus far, brought down DG as well as the Sable in the avatar, Golden wildebeest, hartebeest and more....no extraction problems. Say what you want, my proof is in the puddin'.
 
Weatherby made their Mk5s in 30/06 and 338/06.
I’ve seen left-handed Mk5s in 30/06.
Would love to find a left-handed one in 338/06.

Yup, works every time…

Even for 2,000 yard shots, 1 Mile shots or 200 plus yards on Mule Deer!

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.

I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!

I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
