For sale is my Ruger #1 Stainless .405 Win rifle. Very few of these were made in .405 Win! This is the "Tropical Heavy" configuration (K1-H-BBZ) Mine has been beadblasted and fitted with a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad. Also includes a Leupold VX-2 1-4x20 scope mounted in the Ruger rings and...

THE OPTIC AND RINGS ARE NOT INCLUDED...but the Warne steel scope bases are! Also included are a set of unused RCBS .300 WSM dies, shellholder, and 100 pieces of NEW Winchester-brand .300 WSM brass. This is a rifle I had built by Match Grade Arms in Texas in 2004. Have all paperwork backing up...

I have (17) boxes (340 pieces) of brand new Hornady .450/.400 3" brass for sale. Lists for $47-$57/box of 20 online, but doesn't appear to be available anywhere. Looking for $725 shipped for all of it...that's less than $43/box, including shipping. All 100% brand new brass. My plan is to sell...

I've decided to sell my beautiful Ruger #1 in .450/.400 3". I would say the condition is virtually "as new". The Boddington rifles include Warne QD Ruger rings, as well as improved wood & sights (white bead front, fixed express rear). Been fired very little, but very accurate. Hard to imagine a...

Well, I’ve decided to part with my beautiful, custom .458 Lott Ruger RSM. I purchased this rifle very lightly used in 2015 and immediately sent it off to Wayne at American Hunting Rifles to have some work done that would make it “perfect”. This RSM is now strengthened and weather-proofed, with...

Guys, I have a set of brand new, unused Redding dies for the .375 H&H that I'm selling. I stupidly ordered two sets of them back a year or so ago when ordering H&H and Lott gear and never returned the second set! Anyway, they go for $47-$50 online...I will sell for $30 shipped in U.S. BTW, the...

Hi gents, I have for sale a virtually as-new VX-6 1-6x Leupold with the Firedot Duplex reticle. Was carefully mounted on a .338 that went down the road...only about 35 rounds fired in load development with the scope mounted. Best online price I can find for new (swfa.com) is $1,100...retail is...

Well, Wayne Jacobson, AKA rifle artist, has worked his magic on my RSM .458 Lott, and I'm blown away! This was an excellent-condition (but dead stock) RSM that I picked up awhile back, and I wanted some custom work done. After some emails back and forth with Wayne, he agreed to tackle it. Here...

Both Midway USA and Amazon have Hornady .450/.400 3" brass for right at $20 for 20 pieces. That's about half what I paid a year or so ago. Get it while you can!

What's the thinking of those with experience using solids in the Lott? I know about monometal solids, flat point solids, cup point solids, "traditional" Woodleigh-type solids, Hornady DGS, etc. Is monometal the way to go? Do flat points penetrate and kill better? By the way, this would be to...

Guys, I'm trying to decide on which Firedot reticle to go with in a Leupold VX-6 1-6. I'm thinking the Firedot 4 for a .375 "all around" rifle, but Leupold's reticle subtension chart shows the heavy part of the Firedot 4 is actually thinner than the Firedot duplex? I'm wanting more like the...

Hey guys, just got my Model 70 Safari Express .375 H&H back from having a McMillan "Dark McWoody" stock installed. Bedding/fitting was done by Brad at Phoenix Custom Rifles. Posting factory vs. McMillan pics below. Stock is super solid and feels great. Dark coloring with red pad is exactly what...

Guys, I've stumbled across a supply of RSM stocks, for those of you looking for a spare. They're available at Numrich online, at gunpartscorp.com. They have 2 versions, and don't do a very good job of describing them on the site. I've ordered both and returned the one that didn't work for me...

So I got all jacked up to handload for my new .458 Lott for the first time. Using new Norma .458 Lott brass and new Redding .458 Lott dies, I lubed 20 cases and prepared to FL size them before trimming to 2.790". Ran the first case into the sizing die, encountered a little resistance, and pushed...

So, the blame for my Winchester M70 Safari Express .375 H&H rests solely on me. That was only 5 short months ago. Then came a Ruger #1 "Boddington Buffalo" in .450/.400 3" three months later, for which this forum is at least partially responsible. And now, 5 months after this all started, a...

Hey guys, in anticipation of my new arrival - a .458 Lott Ruger RSM (!) - is there a particular gunsmith who's known to do good work on this type of rifle, based on your experience? I'd be looking for a proper bedding job (added cross bolt?), proper recoil pad install, and proper Graco mercury...

So I'm thinking of attending one of the two shows next year. Have heard good things about DSC. For those who've gone to both, if you could only do one, which would it be? Why? Thanks!

This level of handwork, craftsmanship, and attention to detail is mind-boggling to me. I covet a Heym PH in .500-3" NE (though I think I wish they were a pound or so heavier in that caliber).

Guys, I'm looking to buy .375 H&H dies and wondering whether to get the Redding 3 die set with both sizers or the 2 die set with only full-length sizer? I only have one .375 rifle, so is neck sizing okay, or better to full-length size any brass that may be used for DG? Thanks!

Okay, this should probably be posted in the addiction group. Several of you told me when I posted pics of my new Model 70 Safari Express .375 H&H several months back that there would be other "African rifles", or big bores, or whatever. I thought there probably wouldn't be. I was wrong. See, at...

First of all, this is mostly Velo Dog's fault! There was a thread awhile back where he piqued my interest in this subject. Anyway, I had a custom Vang Comp/Robar Remington 870 that was set up for home defense with buckshot primarily. It had a Surefire light forend, Speedfeed stock, etc. After...

Hey guys, this Leupold was bought new, mounted on my Sako 75 .338, sighted in, and then safed for several years (that seems to be how I roll, unfortunately). Anyway, I've obtained a VX-6 1-6x for it and so don't need this scope. In just the right light, there may be the slightest of a rear ring...

Remington and Winchester seem to be unavailable. Thoughts, gents?

Hey guys, I like Warne, but I know there are Talley's, CZ-brand, and others out there. Thoughts, for those of you who have 550's? Thanks

Very nice rifle, excellent condition! Includes RCBS die set, new Lyman Factory Crimp Die, 100 Barnes Original 250 grain softpoints, and 40 pieces of once-fired brass. Rifle has been fitted with Williams receiver sight, Pachmayr Decelerator pad, magazine tube band front sling swivel, sling, and a...

Anyone have experience with/opinions about these? I'm talking about the ones where the rings have round studs that fit down into the bases and lock with a 1/4 turn of the levers, not the QRW Weaver-style rings. Thanks

Any experience with N540 in .375? I've seen it bandied about and thought I'd inquire on here.

If so, would it be backed up by a couple solids? I realize it's not the ideal Buff bullet, but for those who've used them, are they tough enough for the job, in your opinion? Seems a good option for a one-rifle PG/Buff hunt, IF it's up to the challenge that the Buff presents. Just spitballin'...

By way of background, up till today I'd never fired a more powerful rifle than my fairly heavy and relatively comfortable Sako 75 .338 Win Mag. I've also fired some heavy .45-70 loads in my Marlins and Ruger #1's, both of which pack a hefty punch as well. But typically, I'm shooting my .223...

Guys, I suppose my real question is whether it's prudent to chamber a round in the M70 CRF action without pushing it down into the magazine. In other words, is it okay to toss a round into a M70 CRF action and close the bolt on it, or will extractor damage likely result eventually? As a follow...

In particular, the 300 grain .375 H&H and 165 grain .30-06? Do they hold together or blow up, typically? I know they're considered "premium" bullets, but are they really? I'm starting to work up .375 H&H PG loads and would like to try them as an option in case the Barnes bullets leave too much...

Gents, with my new M70 Safari Express .375 H&H setup, I'm looking to dial it in with a single handload. I like the idea of a fast Barnes 250 grain TTSX and I'm sure it would do about anything that needs doing. But I also like the .375/300 grain combo, with the sectional density that comes with...

Hi guys, first post. I got some good info by lurking, however, especially in regards to mounting my scope. Don't know when/if I'll hunt Africa, though I'd dearly love to; but I came across a gorgeous new Winchester Model 70 Safari Express in .375 H&H that I just couldn't pass up. I've never...
