    Loading a Double Rifle quickly

    After shooting the rifle I lower the rifle , my rifle has ejectors and needs a bit more force to break open the action . So I use my non dominant left hand to grip the barrels and break the action open whilst the gun stock is tucked under my right arm. This free’s up my dominant right hand to...

    Loading a Double Rifle quickly

    After a lot of practice of the above mentioned methods to achieve a quick reload for a upcoming elephant hunt I was wondering if there might not be an even faster way of reloading a double rifle.

    Good suggestion, I was thinking maybe each should pay 75% of the normal tip. That would make 1.5 times his normal tip. I only have one animal on my list for the 11 days.

    Hi guys ! I just want to ask stupid question. I am planning to fly from Western Canada to Windhoek via Frankfurt with Lufthansa in the near future and I see their fees for transporting a rifle is about 250 Euro for long intercontinental flights. Is this fee charged per rifle on both legs of...

    Interesting view from my gunroom

    They were literally 30 yards away from my window. I was in South Africa in February and my neighbours said that the sheep did a fine job of keeping my lawn trimmed. The ram on the far right is definitely the dominant ram.

    Wanted 450/400 X 3-1/4" NE

    I still like it and I don’t want to dissuade you from buying it, the info on the bore is second hand. I just think it’s worth making sure the bore is good.

    Wanted 450/400 X 3-1/4" NE

    I have been looking at that gun for the last 10 years(via their website)…I think it is pretty darn cool gun. The only thing that prevented me from taking it any further was a friend’s comment that the inside of the barrel looked like a drain pipe. I can’t attest to the accuracy of the statement...

    Any Experts that can assist with information on vintage Mauser?

    There is only a serial number and no BUG or BUGN code.

    Any Experts that can assist with information on vintage Mauser?

    I have never seen this not to be on the left side of the receiver ring and left side of the barrel of an original commercial sporting Mauser from Oberndorf. I might be wrong. I have 11 of them at home and it is always the same, gotta love that German attention to detail.

    Hi guys Thanks for the great insights, offers and advice. I do want original head stamped brass. I have gone the RCC brass before. They make great brass, but they do a minimum order of 100 cases at $5+/ case. Add importation and taxes. Ouch. Cheers Frederik
