Have owned a few rifles that could be classed as DG rifles...

CZ 550 .458WM
Zastava M70 .375H&H
Zastava M70 .375Wby
CZ550 Safari Magnum (Kudu Services custom) .458WM
Winchester M70 .458WM
Zastava M70 .458WM
Zastava M70 .458WM

But now I just own the 1... a Zastava M70 425 Express custom built by NT Firearms Gove.
I really like it... CRF, light, accurate, powerful and stupidly reliable. Plus, being a custom rifle, it's the only one like it...
It has the same ballistics as a .404 Jeffery, a 400gn DGX at 2300 fps, or a 360gn Atomic29 copper HP at 2500 fps.
It's fitted with Warne bases and rings and a Leupold VXII 1-4x and I just love everything about this setup.
This will be the last rifle to ever leave my safe...

Nice collection. I Just sold my Freedom Arms 475 Linebaugh. I did not enjoy shooting it. I do however enjoy shooting my Brno 458 Lott but the 475 Linebaugh revolver is flat out painful to shoot! I hope the new owner enjoys it more!

I also bought a similar recoil pad from them to change out on my Heym 450/400. I bought the rifle for a very good price knowing I would need a longer leonth of pull. Cal Pappas (God rest his soul) helped me out and directed me to Connecticut Shotgun, said he changed out the recoil pad on one of his really nice English doubles (Lang in 450 No 2) because he needed a longer length of pull. One of the biggest mistakes I ever made was not buying that Lang double rifle from Cal.
 
I hear you Houston Bill...Cal offered me his .600 Wilkes for a good price..and like an idiot I turned him down.. :Banghead:

I had a chance to shoot that rifle, gorgeous gun! Recoil was less than fun. His 8-bore paradox gun was love at first trigger pull!

It was Cal who inspired me to track down my 8-bore and his knowledge that helped me develope a smokeless load for it. The double rifle community suffered a great loss when he passed!

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
