    Purchased a Sabatti Double, anyone actually like them?

    Im in Canada so id have to export & import it. It has a target where theyre about an inch and a half apart. If I can replicate that ill be fairly happy. Yes Im happy to get one in 450/400! It was actually my preferred calibre due to already having a custom 458 WM & 500 A-Square haha. Ive...

    Purchased a Sabatti Double, anyone actually like them?

    I ended up purchasing a sabatti at auction for quite cheap. There were a few Merkels & another sabatti, all in 470/500 NE. I think mine got sort of left in the dust during bidding because its in 450/400 NE. Needless to say I got it for a borderline steal (well under 50% of original MSRP) Its my...

    Purchased first Dangerous game rifle!

    Haha no it broke while we were slinging some 270 grainers a bit fast while standing. No sense in a lead sled for a 375 ;)

    Purchased first Dangerous game rifle!

    I just figure if i can handle it why not? I know a lot of people have been warned about going up to .458 on this forum. However at 65ish lbs of recoil I have no worries. I recently built a .338 Win Mag for a fun little project. Its been cut down slightly, fluted and thrown in an ultralight...

    Purchased first Dangerous game rifle!

    I have a leupold lpvo ordered to switch. I think the old mount is nifty so Ill try to keep it. I have a custom built 338 win mag that on paper recoils that same as this assuming its between 8-9 lbs. I do not foresee it being a problem but well see. Im a sucker for feeling like I got my moneys...

    Purchased first Dangerous game rifle!

    Im headed to South Africa with my Dad, he has a 375 Ruger. Id shot it lots and it fits me quite well but even our hot handloads (which recently unfortunately broke the stock right behind the action) didnt really feel like what I imagined a “Big Bore Elephant Gun” should feel like. Im hoping this...

    Purchased first Dangerous game rifle!

    This Henriksen fella seems to be Iver Henriksen. Id read he was highly regarded by Mr. Elmer Keith as hed made a few rifles for him. Very cool little piece of history assuming its the same maker.

    Purchased first Dangerous game rifle!

    Hello, I have recently booked my first trip for Cape Buffalo this coming August! I also just purchased my first rifle to use exclusively for Dangerous game. I saw this custom .458 Win Mag on a mauser action. I was drawn to it after looking for something in the 40 calibre range. Can anyone tell...

    Scheduling first hunt! + question regarding rifle

    Yeah I think like many things lefties interact with, we just kind of get used to living in a world not really designed for/with us in mind. Id definitely honestly prefer a regular right handed action at this point. However I do prefer lefty knives from makers like CRK

    Hello everybody, my names Aiden. Im 24 & from Alberta, Canada. Like many of you I have a pretty deep love for firearms (traditionally medium to large calibre specifically) and hunting. I recently came across a .505 Gibbs for sale and it made me consider getting a truly big bore rifle. Shortly...
