I have carried my Merkel 140 on quite a few deer hunts, it has the sling mounts on it, but I haven't put a sling on it as of yet . I will for my next hunt . The double is heavy and I don't like carrying it on my shoulder . Always have a sling on my bolt rifles. The sling loops are narrower than...

Just returned from the post office, will share a few pics! Wood is nicer than I hoped! Hopefully I can take some pics outside soon. Merkel 140 AE , 470 Nitro Express. Two sets of wood. Have a bunch of woodleighs and swift a frame to load up . I can see the sights ok, I think I will still plan...

Wondering what your opinions would be in getting a previously owned one of these for a.first double . I have a CZ in 416 Rigby , from what I have read the 500-416 is similar, and should be good for a Buffalo. I also have a 458 Lott that is shooting well that would work for Buffalo as well...

I have been wanting a nice over under for a long time. After doing some research I decided I would give this one a try. My favourite gun shop Prophet River had it out with the courier and I received in under a day. 12 gauge, nice set of chokes, nice.travel case with tools etc in it. Finish is...

Have a bit of an issue with my CZ 416 Rigby in regards to the magazine capacity. I believe it should hold 4, and it does, sort of. The 4th cartridge is very tight , and the rifle will not pick up the cartridge unless it is fiddled with. I have a 458 Lott and a couple 375 I am checking in...

Finally got to pick this one up today from the Post office. Ordered it from a great gun shop ,Prophet River in Alberta. This rifle was ordered in 2014, and shot 50 rounds from the bench since. Once I seen the pictures I just had to have it. I have read a bunch about AHR rifles and upgrades on...

There is a beauty of an AHR 375 for sale , cz action 23 inch barrel. Everything looks great on it but it says 1-10 twist. My other 375's have 1-12", and shoot 260-300 grain bullets so well. I am just a.bit concerned that the quicker twist may not work as well with the shorter 260 accubond, or...

Sent an email to Swift for any data they can offer for the 500 and 450 grain Aframes. I have some 500 grain Barnes TSX as well. I have found a bit of data, but not alot for the Lott. I did find a bit for the 458 Win . My older manuals have some 458 Win data, but none have the Lott. Using a...

Having some trouble with zeroing my set up today. Popped the scope off and there are chunks coming out of the recoil lug of the back ring. Has anyone had this happen before? Scope was on there tight, but a heavy scope in a Vortex Razor 1-6.

Have a CZ 416 Rigby on its way. Bullet selection seems to be a bit more scarce than bullets for my 458. I ordered some Barnes 400 grain TSX. I can also order 410 grain woodleigh sp . I found one place that has a couple boxes of the swift aframe that I know are highly recommended. For solids in...

Was finally able to take my new 458 to the woods today to try it out. I removed the factory stock and put on a Bell and Carlson I had for my 375. First round was a light 400 grain load in a Winchester Magnum case. Kick was light, a bit lighter than the same load in my lighter Zastava 458...

I havc just returned from my first trip to Africa. I will try my best to do a report and post some pictures. I hunted with Pieter Delport of Eintracht Jagd Safaris. He has been so nice to deal with from the start. answering my every question no matter how silly it may have seemed to him. I am...

Looking at finally coming to Africa for a plains game hunt. Has been a dream for many years and it is about time to get it going. Glad there is a forum such as this with such a wealty of information. Thanks, Craig
