Not interested with in-line rifles. PM me with a couple of photos, brand, LOP, price, and your name. I will respond with my name, phone number and location if interested.

Notified this morning that Shot Show for 2021 has been cancelled. Last week it was SCI show for 2021. How long until DSC is cancelled?

If you have converted a later model RSM to another caliber and have the original barrel in like new condition, and want to sell it, send me a PM with an overall pic of the barrel and the muzzle. This would exclude the 90-91 models which have the barrel ring under the forearm and not forward of...

I received the same email twice tonight to my junk mail. The title is, You may have a gun..... then when you open the email...It says U.S. residents are all rushing to obtain this permit.......... Then it tells you to use this link. You should delete this email as soon as you recognize it...

If you are a serious buyer and have not found an FFL/dealer in your area to order you one, PM me NLT tonight. I have one that will be here either Monday or Tuesday (this one is not for sale), and can possibly have one or two more, but they have to be ordered tomorrow. If you are not familiar...

I started planning this hunt in October, first confirming the hunt, cost and dates with Pieter Erasmus. Second I had many PMs, phone texts and phone calls with a group of AH members I have met during the past five years, all whom have hunted Africa many times and in many cases have taken cape...

My second hunt to South Africa and Pawprint Safaris is here. I will be on my way to Atlanta this time tomorrow. Except for my backpack carry on, I have been packed for 3 days. No computer, just my IPhone set up to work from S.A. to call Global Rescue if necessary. Primary animals are a Buff cow...

RSM .416 Rigby, YOM 2000-2001 I have owned this RSM Rigby for four years. I have fired approx 30 rounds through it during the first year I owned it at the range over several trips. It was cleaned, place in a Bore Stor, then into the safe where it had been until this past Monday...

I have three big bore rifles for sale. A 1964 M 70 Super Grade .458 Win Mag, a Remington 700 Safari .375 HH and a CZ 550 American in .416 Rigby caliber. All three of these rifles have either no marks or very few safe marks. Even though we believe the CZ and Remington are new old stock, we do not...

First to the forum I want to apologize one last time for the mess I created Friday. Hopefully that doesn't happen again. Thanks to Jerome for hopefully deleting the mess I created!!! Today I have two Lipsey Ruger .275 Rigbys for sale. One is the Hawkeye Safari, the other is the # 1 in .275...

The rifle is a 1987 Model 70 XTR .300 H&H magnum. At sometime in the past someone has replaced a standard wood stock with a Super Grade Stock and the Super Grade Swivel base mounts. The forearm has a couple of very small dents, probably from a gun safe. The stock shows no sign of ever being...

This rifle is a new old stock rifle in the box. The rifle has not been fired to my knowledge. The chamber and bolt face are new clean. The rifle came with Burris scope rings and bases, so I cannot guarantee there has never been a scope mounted, but there is no indication of it. The rings are in...

My son and I recently returned from a five day plains game hunt with Pieter in his camp in the Northwest Province about a two hour drive north of Johannesburg. The flight from Atlanta on 1 July went as planned. There were no issues with either our seats or checking our rifles. After clearing...

After being on this forum nearly 4 years and planning this hunt for 11 months, it is finally time to go. I will link up with my son in Atlanta tomorrow evening and head toward Johannesburg and hour or so later. We will be hunting with Pieter Erasmus and Pawprint Safaris. Will be met in JoBerg by...

Do any of you on the forum plan on attending the Southern Side by Side next weekend. If yes, PM me as I am considering going, arriving there Thursday night and starting back home Sunday morning. If you don't know what it is, you are probably not interested, but just in case I have linked the...

HISTORY: In 1999 SCI acquired 100 of the Ruger 1H .416 Rigby rifles. On the left side of the receiver was engraved "Safari Club International Limited Edition # of 100. This one is 28 of 100. On the right side of the receiver is engraved "Year of the Rhino" with an engraving of the animal below...

My .404 J RSM is with the gunsmith which will do the work to return it as much as possible to an original RSM, only in .404 caliber. The question is: Should he zero the single island rear sight at 50 or 100 yards. I will mount a 1.5 x 5 scope on it once it is returned. Because of that the smith...

Once again Lori at @Travel Express was able to find and book my ticket to Johannesburg for my July hunting trip with Pawprint Safaris. The ticket is from Pensacola to Atlanta to Johannesburg. Accomplished in less than 24 hours, and saved me little bit of money too! And oh yes, if something...

Especially for re-loaders. Just ordered .264 130 gr. bullets which have been near impossible to find for about 3 months now.

I spent about three hours of my life at the John Rigby shop in South London today. Probably not going to forget anytime soon, but hope to return with my son one day, maybe even a grand daughter depending on how long I hang around. The shop is much smaller than either Westley Richards or William...

Just bought a Webley and Scott Model 702 12 ga SxS from William Evans in central London. Only 40 years old, but at a cost my wallet could handle. I have a few pics I will try to post. They are not very good. I sent them to my son to see if he could make them better, but no luck, so here goes!!!

Just left The Shop in Birmingham, England about three hours ago . Was given a tour of the entire facility. They did not have a single used rifle or gun for sale at any price. Visited the gunsmiths as they were plying their individual crafts. I was taken in the vault, actually two, to see amazing...

While searching for old but still usable English shotguns, I ran across this beauty for sale at the WR shop in Birmingham. When I first saw the price, I thought it must be a misprint. 1795 pounds is currently about $2550. The description states it has replacement barrels, but no further...

I know a lot of you guys are not far from Buda, Texas. I just received a contact from my son who has been working there this week. The Cabela's has a Searcy .470 for $6000 there in a glass case. The least expensive one I have ever seen was in Tulsa two years ago which the owner was asking $9000...

At this time it appears that I will be working in Eastern Europe during DSC and will not be able to come home on leave in time to attend. The Jagd and Hund is the largest hunting show in Europe and will occur on 9-14 February, 2016 in Dortmund, Germany. It is very likely that I will be able to...

During the past six months or so I have seen many AH members looking for 300 H&H rifles for sale without having to sell the kids to acquire one. While attending the Tulsa Arms Show last week, I found a custom M70 with I am guessing a grade 3 or 4 stock. The entire finish on the gun was excellent...

For those of you that are close enough to attend and compete, the Dallas Safari Club will conduct the 2015 Big Bore Shoot this year on May 9th in Ennis Texas at Trinity Outfitters. Details and rules for the 2015 shoot are still forthcoming. I will post them as soon as I have them.

http://sportingclassicsdaily.com/issue/2015-1/article/the-rise-of-hipster-hunters This is an article from my Sporting Classics daily feed. In short it is about a cafe owner/butcher in Austin, Texas who is supplying game meat in his business through legitimate hunting in Texas. His claim is that...

My son and I are planning to bird hunt in eastern Colorado next fall. The plan is to hunt quail one day and pheasants the second day. I have hunted quail many years ago, but never pheasant. We will be working with a guide and dog on both days. I will use a 20 ga. O/U on the quail and 12 ga...

Anyone have experience with either of these Super Slam models? Those of you that have hunted cape buffalo, do you use illuminated optics? Either model is around $515. I am considering purchasing one for my RSM .416 Rigby.

How does the Kynoch .375 H&H ammo with Woodleigh Weldcore bullets perform compared to other factory ammunition? I don't reload, so please only compare to factory over the counter ammo.
