Trijicon optics

Sent the bolt assembly off for coating. You can see what that looks like below

It’s all surface rust there’s no corrosion like bluing

Personally, I like the rear sight of the Mauser but the front sight of the rigby. I like the wood grade of the Mauser but the darkness of the rigby. And I like the rigby butt pad.

It’s probably the plainest wood option because it’s the PH model, which is the only model within a thousand or two dollars of the Mauser. If you want a big game with similar wood grade level of the Mauser you’re looking at well above $20,000 USD.

Agreed, if the Rigby had the ebony for-end it would make it even better

Looking at the new Mauser 98's and Rigby's, it seems to me Mauser is way over priced. When comparing the Mauser 98 Magnum Expert 375 H&H and the Rigby Big Game PH 375 H&H, there is basically a $500 difference(excl. tax and fees). Yes, the Mauser may have a grade 5 walnut stock, but the Rigby's...

how do you like the 450?

I don’t believe our line up would even compare but here goes nothing: most dangerous I guess: Polar bear Brown bear Grizzly bear Mountain lion Alligator/wolf I think most peoples big 5 would be: dalls sheep Yukon Moose Brown bear Elk Mule deer

Through research it is said that the barrel needs to be brand new. However, if you clean the barrel the best you can, you may be able to do it. I believe you can’t have any carbon or gun powder residue. Nitride will surface rust(after a few weeks of exposure) but never chip and cerakote won’t...

I was very disappointed with the cerakote. I had it don’t by a well known coater. However, I can’t put all the blame on him, as I haven’t been entirely gentle. My expectation of cerakote was the result of nitride. I thought it was forced into the the metal as nitride is. I will say you wouldn’t...

I don’t care about money, I wanted it done right the first time and $200 later it wasn’t

Cerakote seems to be the most widely available

Any recommendations for where to send it?

Alright so anyone who knows about cerakote has seen their cerakote vs. series, well I believe its complete BS. I tried Cerakoted for the first time and immediately chipped it off my barrel. Apparently, this is the strongest finish out there. However, bluing seemed to hold up better in the past...

I believe your referencing the M24 in the last paragraph, which would be their most consist and highest quality

I just have a spare 700 action around

Yeah I’ve spoken with him as well….. he’s uh…….. interesting

I’ve been around enough bears:) I have taken them with a m700 I don’t feel as if it was unsafe or unreliable. I will add I have seen someone fairly recent almost lose their life from a grizzly because of a CRF action failure.

I got mine for a steal under $500

Yes, my casings would get stuck in the chamber er and not be able to be released. I replaced the Lug and barrel

I understand, no need for any arguing. I get everyone has their favorite and least favorite brands and people have had great experiences and horrible experiences with every brand.

I have looked at tikka as well, however when I bought my M700 I got it for such a good deal it was hard to pass up.

Ive had a chamber issue on my deer rifle but that's about it really

??

Sorry I’m just referencing the action

Why don’t clients like using the rem 700 for DG? I understand the perspective of push feed rifles. However, the likeliness of a malfunction is very low. An m16 extractor and dual ejectors takes away any extraction issues. I just want to know why more clients don’t use these rifles especially...

It was at 11 lbs with the 5in Mercury tube but since removing it along with the bedding I should be around 9.5 lbs with the bipod

I bought a whole new barrel. But I believe I could have had it reamed out.

As I’ve stated in a previous post, I had purchased this 7mag new and it had a chamber issue. Rather than being the typical A-hole and selling it, I decided to build it! I kept it as a 7mm as it’s my favorite cartridge and just good for everything besides DG. The only thing OEM Is the 700 action...

Bedding is easy if you use a good amount of release agent and a bedding compound that isn’t super fast cure. Marine Tex or devcon aluminum putty work good as well as pro-bed. Use popsicle sticks to mix your 2-part compound and use them to apply the compound to the stock. You don’t have to bed...

Yi You are hunting buff and ele for 30k or less airfare and charter?

They're reliable but for the money id just buy a Winchester Model 70 and have something that looks good

No big deal, you’ll find something better anyways. I didn’t even notice it didn’t have the rear sight.

It’s not other forums but damn

I live in MA and TX

Hey guys I wanted to start a thread on well priced rifles for specifically 375 H&H and up. Feel free to post links to what you think is a good deal, maybe someone here will be able to find what they've been looking for!

Im close to the top one, maybe ill go pick it up.

Post photos and tag me once it comes in!!! Be sure to examine the chamber and bore if you can!

I knew Cabelas went down hill when you weren't allowed to return rifles, I think they did that 5 or so years ago.

I believe cabelas will ship the rifle to any other cabelas/bass pro near you free of charge. I’m not sure if they still do this. If you end up purchasing the rifle make sure to update us! Personally, the habicht(illuminated) is my favorite low power scope and they seem to be getting harder to...

You can also build a Blaser R8 off euro-optic for around $5000 with a 9.3x62 or 375H&H barrel

Since you mentioned a 9.3x62, I'm assuming you are not set on a 416 Rigby. If that's correct, you have got a lot better options as far as DG rifles go. Listed below are some other great options in medium to big bore in the same price range...

For the price, I'd spend a couple thousand more and buy a Rigby Big Game in 416 Rigby. The "Kimber of Oregon" rifles use the 89BGR action while Kimber's Caprivi and Talkeetna use the 8400M action. The 89BGR had some issues and the new 84 and 8400 actions seem to be hit or miss on whether they...
