    505 Gibbs (really any 500+), Killed What, Shoot How Often

    Gents, really seriously interested in hearing from folks who own or owned any of the real big boys (especially a 505 Gibbs since I’m a bolt gun lover), if you don’t mind sharing, what all you’ve killed with them, over what period of time, and how often you go to the range to practice with them...

    Tanzania Plains Game -- Gazelle??

    Any of you gents have 1st hand recommendations for outfitters in Tanzania for plains game? Tried searching here and even more broadly through google with far less results than expected. Found some wonderful options for dream hunts with full/full-mixed bag to include lion and...

    Overnighting on Return from RSA--Where and Gun Storage

    Finalizing airfare for an upcoming trip to South Africa with my 13yo daughter. If we finish things early, and want to use our time abroad, was toying with the idea of staying over a night or two somewhere on our return...but will of course have two firearms with us. With that, leaning away...

    Rigby Tagged Courteney Safari UK 12 Like New $250

    First Rigby Playdate

    Been resisting a little bit of a wild hair having a long desire for a Rigby working rifle but zero need for one here in Alaska. After finally deciding it was time for Africa and having a hunt next year I fell into another trip leaving here in a couple weeks. So with a need now present, my...

    Recknagel Eramatic G9-Plus on Rigby BGR question

    Any of you fine gents have much experience with the Recknagel mounts for the double bridge M98 used by Rigby or Mauser themselves? Will be mounting a scope shortly on a 416 Rigby and the rifle came with the mounts. I can’t find instructions online anywhere, including Recknagel. My main...
