A fantastic find this...wow.. (y)

Cecil, you may contact this firm: https://www.safarimax.no/ He is a serious outfitter and can advice/arrange a reindeer trophy hunt..

The late Cal Pappas owned a Farq. in .600NE.. He sold it, the recoil was horrible. Mind you..Cal had a 4 bore double that he loved to shoot but that single .600 was too much for him..

Norway has one of the larger deposits of REE minerals. But sorry Trump, they are not yours to exploit..

Here is another mad englishman.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Churchill

10 bore rifle..Joseph Lang & Son, 22 Cockspur Street London, made 1874-75. For 700 grain round bullet. Jones underlever screw grip and non-rebounding hammer.

We have to ask ourself...is article 5 dead..? Let us say Putin launch an attack on one of the baltic states...what will Trump do..? Say its not Americas war..?

So..Trump and his government are willing to hand over all presently occupied territory in Ukraine to Russia.. I have to pinch myself to fathom this.. The aggressor gets it all..who is next..?

Problem is that the Moz army appear very week.. The have brought in some of the SA army to help out in the north..to not very much avail.. Now if you commit some white mercenaries with Mi-24 combat helicopters..etc.

Moz is not safe..Anadarko was hit in 2019...islamists stiil lurking around.. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Gunmen-Attack-Anadarko-LNG-Project-In-Mozambique.html

I would love to see some pics of your 1906 .450 Rigby..

I have never seen one..do any of you own one..? Your impression..? It seems to have lost popularity to .450NE and .470NE..

I get 2170fps out of 23,5" barrels on my .470 Krieghoff double...with Hornady factory ammo.. That is 5200 foot pounds.. I really do not think more is neccesary.. Maybe a .500 give you a little more margin.. But then there is recoil..recovery time etc.. .577 and .600 was made for professional...

Forget Sabatti..Krieghoff´s have a more straight stock design than Merkel (ie. less felt recoil and muzzle jump..)and you get the extra safety benefit of carrying a loaded but not cocked rifle.. Sabattis are too light for calibre.. My .470 Krieghoff is scoped and a pleasure to shoot...

.375H&H is by far the most versatile cartridge for big game.. By far the most african game I shot with my .375..up to and including elephant. These are both ZKK 602´s.. Mine to the right.. I shot elephant with both these rifles.

.450/400 3 1/4..

A lot of pie in the sky regarding velocities on Kynoch ammo.. I get an average of 2048fps from 28" barrels from my .450/400 3.25 double with 1970 vintage Kynoch ammunition... splendid regulation though..

RIP

Washington Post: A leaked document indicate that Trump will cut all finance to NATO and the UN and half the budget of DOS..? Signed by Douglas Pitkin and Pete Marocco..

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

No military targets in Sumy...nothing less than terror bombing.. I hope Germany will release Taurus missiles (500km range) to Ukraine shortly.. I assume Trump is still holding back the last shipment of military aid that Biden gave...still in Poland..?

So much effort in making that series...and they used a 9,3 Sabatti..?? Heck, I could have loaned them ie. my pre-WW1 .475 double..

Its a one off..by a toolmaker..

My .416 Rigby 602, McMillan

Stay with the 25" barrel..I have a Brno 602 with the original barrel...never felt it being to long..even in dense bush..

2 weeks ago Hegseth was to cut US defence budget with 40% over 5 years.. Now, two days ago, Trump talked about raising it from 820 billion to 1 trillion..?? https://dsm.forecastinternational.com/2025/04/10/trump-teases-1-trillion-defense-budget-but-what-does-that-actually-mean/

A good offer this..what ivory size can be expected..? The ivory is exportable to other countries sans US/EU..?

Paradox is mentioned..a friend has a Westley Richards Explora in 12G.. He had a mold made and he makes 730 grain hollow point lead bullets.. He loads for it and it is most accurate at least to 50 metres.. It is in like new condition, sold by a dealer in Rangoon.. The recoil is quite...

Heym actually offered a double rifle drilling not so long ago in .470/12 gauge...the 12 gauge barrel could be handy for mambas and the odd cobra..

If Kynoch (Kynamco) could, pardon my french, get their shit together, and actually produce and export the ammo on their list we would be helped a lot.. One could also dream that ie. Norma would make .577NE and .600NE..

At 62 I still work 2 x 90 hour weeks at an offshore oilrig.. Growing up working from early on..then the military with officer training etc. As long as one is in good health it is perfectly possible to work hard beyond 60..

450/400.. .470 or .500 double rifle.. Because the proper way of hunting them, as Kevin P. said, is at close range.. 15 - 50 meters. That is sport..

Hmm..some ex. mil vehicle/truck without electronics is a good idea.. to remain mobile after an EMP:...

Is America now an oligarchy run by billionares..?

Glad all my money is in property now..

Bla bla Brent.. :sick: I hope that Trump go for additional 50% toll on China...lets see what that will do to US economy..

All this talk about that the US has the right and obligation to go on with these tarriffs.. Globally..at least in Europe..people are boycotting american products..and tourism to the US is plummeting.. All in all I dont think you will benefit from Trumps policies..but it is what it is folks...

Its not all the firearms I own...but all that ammo I hoarded over the years..oh my..

Shortly the MAGA sect will come defending Trump..while the stocks are in a tailspin.. Its like watching comical Ali denying the Iraq invasion while US tanks rolled into Baghdad..

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ce3qnyr7y94t Thank you for plunging the world into chaos..stock market crash..

First of all...I am not german. After Germany stopped using russian gas, Norway stepped up and increased gas production to Germany along with increased gas import from USA.. The idea that Germany should pay Ukraine for war destruction is so far out I cant take it seriously..

So Europe should reimburse you from 1945 - 2025..??? Ever heard of the Marshall Plan..? I think it would be a good start if Trump and his government sober up and stop lying about the amount of Ukraine aid and just about everything else.. FYI, Trump has stopped all mil. aid to Ukraine..even...

This list is very enlightening....the new US government speak of USD350 - 400 billion worth in aid..its nuts. One has to wonder.. all these lies and exaggerations..seems to pathological with these people..

What you say is basically right...even if the question of Denmark have done enough regarding NATO commitement at Greenland is debatable.. But there are other implications to this... If USA militarize Greenland heavily then Russia will answer...it will accelerate an arms race in the Arctic. It...

Europe is now rearming...800 billion euros are on the table. Sure..we need to do it..Hegseth is to reduce your military spending with 40%...8% pro anno from now..so perhaps you will have to pull out of Europe by necessity..

What about the Pacific theatre, Taiwan, Japan, the Phillippines..South Korea..states that USA have promised to stand by.. Should all be left to fend for themselves..?

An odd way of looking at things..but OK..you are an isolationist.. If Hegseth reduce your military by 40%, as promised, your military will suffer greatly..then you may have to pull out of Europe anyway..
