The thread about the luggage system at Tambo breaking down made me wonder about buying ammo abroad. How many here have actually had to buy ammo abroad? Where would one actually go to purchase ammo and what cartridges are mostly likely to be on the shelf? Are there any restrictions on...

OP, I started with a .375 Ruger in a relatively light Ruger rifle. After the first few shots, it was no big deal and kind of fun. I gifted it to a friend that wanted to use it on nilgai. A couple of suggestions, start off with a lighter weight bullet until you are comfortable with it. Make...

Also worth taking a look through the Zeiss Victory binos. I was a dedicated Swaro user until taking a look through a friend’s Zeiss. The Zeiss were ordered the very next week and the Swaros EL’s went to ebay.

Where are you .404 Jeff owners in the US finding ammo and/or brass?

Peterson is good to go and makes brass at least on par with Lapua quality. I use both and now order Peterson as my first choice. I especially like and highly recommend Peterson's .300 Win Mag “long” brass, which is 0.010” longer from base to shoulder, which is comparable to fired brass. The...

If it makes your wife happy, let her do it and be happy that she is happy.

Could you perhaps be thinking of Rigby, who uses Mauser barreled actions? Rigby states in their brochure they are using Mauser manufactured actions. The statement is in the paragraph under the Big Game model. https://www.johnrigbyandco.com/wp-content/uploads/rigby_brochure_2016.pdf Heym...

Showing the targets would be helpful. No one can miss fast enough to win a gunfight.

Grapefruit knife.

The bolt gun keeps jamming? He is shooting a rifle that is not his own with iron sights he may or may not be familiar with. The lesson learned is use a rifle that works with sights of whatever variety are easily seen and practice to the point of being thoroughly familiar with it. Amateurs...

From a pragmatic perspective there is a real difference in ammo and component availability at least here in the US. Checking ammoseek.com, .416 Rigby ammo is readily available here in the states, while not a single vendor has .404 Jeff. Same for brass.

Contact Border View who handles imports and exports between the US and Canada. It is fairly simple, although slow.

I could care less what that measured, that might one of the greatest trophies ever. Amazing, and a real warning to heed at the same time.

I looked at D'Arcy Echols a couple of years ago and spoke with Reto about one year ago. Prices from both are well above the price for the Heym from Ralf Martini, which was priced in Canadian dollars, not US dollars. The Canadian dollar is roughly 0.6x - 0.7x a US dollar with the current...

Concur, the administration has stopped all exports for 90 days. Have seen anything about imports, but would not be surprised if there is a slow walking order in place. us-commerce-department-firearms-ammunition-export-halt...

I have been pondering the same question as the OP, then found this thread. This discussion was very helpful. Huvius your post in particular tipped me to a decision towards the Heym in your link. It is on the way. Thank you very much.

Hello all, I have enjoyed reading here and all of you are a quite terrible influence on me - in the best possible way though. Now thanks to a post by Huvius in this thread, I am purchasing a Heym Martini Express .416 Rigby from Ralf Martini in Canada...
