Anyone have opinions good or bad on Zarges cases for traveling with firearms? I just became away of them and they look to be of high quality (certainly the case if price is any indicator). The insert system looking interesting as well. Asked Austrian and South African friends (albeit...

As promised, here is a summary of the discussion last night. I attended in person and thought it was the best DSC meeting in quite a while. The candor was refreshing and there was a good crowd. A mix of old members and new members. You can dig into the details below, but overall I'm very...

I'm making some space in the library and thought I'd offer these here. All books are used except where noted. Hunting with Harris Hawks - Bob Dalton - $150 Hunting Africa's Dangerous Game - Bill Stewart (two sealed copies available) - $10 each Man-eaters of Kumaon - Jim Corbett (1st American...

Offered for sale is my Matrix tuned CZ 550 .458 Lott. These are the guys selected by Wayne Jacobson to continue on his CZ upgrade work after American Hunting Rifles started focusing on custom orders only. I cherry picked the desired updates but it is almost identical to their #3 package. Removed...

For sale is a beautiful dangerous game rifle from Empire in .416 Rigby in their Standard Model. It has a very nice, straight grained piece of walnut with an undulating wave to it, good light / dark contrast, ebony fore end, classic English lines, hand cut checkering, tasteful knurling on the...

CZ 550 .500 Jeffery, with AHR #2 package. Barrel is 22 inches, 14 inch LOP, sights regulated to 50 yards for Norma 570gr soft nose Woodleigh. Gun has the mercury recoil reducer that came with “stock” guns in these limited caliber runs that Triple River did for CZ. Weighs in at just under 9 lbs...

I've been intrigued by the caliber for a while now as I'm a fan of the classics. Most options to purchase are either new custom builds or older used models. Recently, I came across a third option - converting a M70 to the old British style. Modern performance, classic looks, and the ability to...

I'm considering purchasing an Empire 416 Rigby. Seller has stated that factory loads won't fit in the magazine and has discounted accordingly. My question is whether or not the purchase is worth it. I could set the bullet deeper (seller says only needs ~1mm) or look into shaving a little metal...

.550 magnum built on a CZ 550 magnum action. Cartridge is a .460 Weatherby necked up to .550. Anyone have any experience with these on the big thick skinned beasts? Seen a couple used bouncing around online and I know that AHR builds them as well. Read that they pack quite a wallop and recoil...

Federal 215 primers are available at Ray's across the bridge from downtown Dallas. They have bricks but be warned they're not cheap. They also have a smattering of powders. This global supply crunch has convinced them to get out of the reloading business, so what they've got now is it. Not going...

I guess you could say that I am slow to commit. Always interesting discussions and info here. I've been lucky enough to hunt all over the past 30+ years. Fairly experienced but looking forward to learning more about big bores and big game hunting from this seasoned group. Who knows, some of...
