    .303 British Trigger

    Very nice No4 @Rafiki is that a early Bishop stock, I remember they had some fancy stocks for exmilitary rifles back in the day, has it the two groove barrel or five ? Trigger should not be too floppy, but if the spring that tensions the sear (it has pressure on the trigger sear also) is broken...

    Ruger Tang safety M77 458 Win Mag

    That looks like a very nice Grysbok, is he a victim of the Ruger M77 .458Win. ?

    Ruger Tang safety M77 458 Win Mag

    There is recoil, I think it is subjective but it does seem more off the bench now days as I get older, never notice in the field, even had a .470NE double once & wondered why the second barrel wouldn't fire, after I reloaded I noticed BOTH barrels had fired, recoil didn't seem much worse at the...

    Ruger Tang safety M77 458 Win Mag

    I have used one for over 25yrs as a work rifle & all around shoot stuff in the NT, even shot Crows with it. Only one time it failed to pick up was when the mag spring was weak or broke, a while ago can't remember which, stopped a charge Point Blank with it after a hunter wounded a good Bull...

    .333 Jeff - Resurrecting an old soldier

    Yes that would be one of the worst barrels I have seen on any thing that wasn't in .303 Brit . Great pity you don't have a actual Gun Smith near by or even in your country, hard to find every where now days, which is a shame. Having that barrel rebored & rifled would be a good route if you...

    Monster Klipspringer From The Waterberg Mountains, Limpopo, SA

    What a beauty or beauties , thank you for posting, I very much enjoy hunting Klippy's & Bush Buck . I got a Monster in Zim in the old days & the Taxidermist stole it, hunted them in the Limpopo a lot but only managed a representative model since. But on one of the properties I was to hunt...

    For Sale M1 Carbine

    Well done & good price, I had no idea these were so valuable, I have had many over the years, unfortunately near all ours were confiscated & destroyed in the last couple of years. I was just trying to save one in the last few weeks but I think it is destine for the crusher also !!

    One cartridge to hunt dangerous game for the rest of your life and it can't be a 375, what are you going with?

    I would pick one of my many .458 Win's as I use it for all game when I only have one rifle, used it for Pigs to Buffalo, including Bush Buck & Crocs ! Lots of .458 projectiles made to do many different jobs & cast bullets are easy to.

    Finally got my W.J. Jeffery 8-bore shooting!

    That is very sad isn't it, no wonder when I sold my two canisters of Blue Dot in Aussie I was over run by buyers ! I brought the 8 bore action & barrel blanks back to NZ to do the work myself but won't bet on that project being completed .

    Finally got my W.J. Jeffery 8-bore shooting!

    I see, well I suppose you would know your sellers better than I do, but the ones here in NZ have the powder & are real. It is amazing to have scam websites for powder ? I will try a couple of links, they have phone numbers maybe you could ring them & I suppose could be out of stock ...

    Finally got my W.J. Jeffery 8-bore shooting!

    Great to see, it looks like you can still get Blue Dot bud, I found some straight away & for only $27 a pound. it is here $119 a pound & is hard to find . Better yet grab a 4lb can & your set for a while ?

    Feedback on African two gun battery for Cape Buffalo and other

    Yes I to think a CZ tour would be a good way to go, that 9.3X62 is very nice rifle . I do wish they didn't bend those bolt handles on the CZ550 !!

    Wow what a great practical set you have there, maybe a .375 H&H for all round use & ammo for both those is a bit harder to find & far more expensive ? I do like those stocks for a work rifle !!

    marco polo x cloned sheep

    While I think it would be cool to see what he came up with, I would say he is being charged for not having the correct, required paper work & permissions from both country's No doubt Marco Polo would be a CITES animal & neither country would ever allow this to happen legally, he should of...

    Greener .577 Howdah Pistol

    I forgot about posting these, here is the set, with .577 Boxer rounds & .577 Snider rounds, one is a Shot load @fsrmg1 I would love to get hold of a .500 Eley-Boxer, I have a few rounds but the only revolver I found I just could not afford. Do you have any pics of your H&H to share ?

    500 Nitro Express 3.25” - newbie question

    Yes you can fire it but will it regulate is the question, depends what country you may loose your baggage in but not many will have a solution of .500NE ammo. If you test it just make sure to clean the chambers well so you get no build up of carbon or crud that hampers loading the normal 3...

    If that Sauer is the same as the Colt Sauer it will be a Super slick machine & a very nice rifle, a good pick up at any price I suspect ? It does sound like you might need a different group of friends how ever ! @matt85 you should bring it to smack a Water Buff & Scrub Bull or three, back in...

    Big Bore Addiction Group

    I bet that is true, that's why they invented Shooting Sticks, I have a 15lb 12bore rifle like a Super Express 12bore & I have found it hard to shoot off hand after a bit of a walk, need to get the shot off fairly quickly !

    Beautiful rifle a work of art, the old Mag-na port is under rated I think, I have shot a .460 Weatherby & .450 Rigby both have significant recoil & it might help a bit ! Has it been shot much as Id love to know how those Take off rings have will hold up to that level of recoil, only the one top...

    Big Elephant Reportedly Taken in Tanzania

    I would think very old & spread those genetics around a fair bit before their deaths ? This has been well gone over on another forum & the burning stops the carcasses from being used to prison predators & a known thing evidently, not that we ever did in Zim Nam or SA, I haven't worked on Ele in...

    Odd ball penetration question but curious...

    Depends on the bullet used & size of the Boss a bit, but I suspect most times it would get through, better to be just under the Boss but will depend on head angle & wither you are standing or on the ground ? I shot a Water Buffalo charging last season & was a little high as he came in fast, the...

    Rebarrel a Tikka T3 from .30-06 to 9.3x62?

    I have a Tikka T3 in 9.3X62 I bought it to fit the barrel to one of my Sako's as most just swap over as I have done several in other caliber's . It was as new with only 3 shots fired from a new box of Sellier & Bellot sold because too much recoil, I thought Pussy as my Mauser 9.3X62 doesn't...

    JES rebore update- No Browning A-bolt rifles

    This does not surprise me, as we fit a lot of suppressors & with the lathe that we use we can not fit the complete action through the tail stock. Also you don't see a lot custom barrels fitted to A & X bolts as they have a super fine thread that galls, worse with Stainless Steel & made worse...

    Thoughts on the 350 Legend

    Nice outfit you put together, I was going to build up a Rimmless 357 Remington Max for near 20yrs on a little Sako Vixen 6-7 rounds in the mag, punches way above its weight & you can use 35Rem bullets as darn near the same thing, before I got it done Winchester brought out the .350 Legend & did...

    Hippo on land Vs. Buffalo for first Dangerous Game hunt?

    I'm biased towards Hippo on land myself as on a couple of my DCA hunts I was charged & one got very close. Spent nearly 4 days on one & a week on the other, one was a killer already & the other a maimer but I hunted these on my own & some of the hunting was in very thick cover. Very exciting...

    500 NE necked down to 470 NE

    Not really a good practice & would be 1/4in short unless it was .500NE 3 1/4in ! I used to form .500NE 3 1/4in from .470NE back when I had one, should be easier to find .470NE than almost any other NE cases, must be a very dry time ?

    BRNO ZK vs CZ 550

    I have a few ZKK600 & 601, don't have any 602's at the moment but used a lot of them in both .375H&H & .458Win, I think too heavy in .375 & a little long in standard .458Win, hence me fitting a ZKK602 458Win barrel to a ZKK600 action. Used lots of CZ550's to from .375 .416 Rigby .458Lott &...
