btheis13, These are the sights I took off the rifle. I'd like $50 for them. Please let me know if you want them. Thanks, Kurt

What year? I had a late 90's .375 re-barreled and I believe I may have the sights. If these will work I'll look tonight. I seem to recall the front sight looked identical to a Williams Streamlined ramp.

Thanks for the info. I would have thought for sure it was Peter. I got a great picture of him walking over/through some trees as he came after the URI. Sounds like you had a great time. I'm very jealous!

Great story! The Oelofse gang is certainly a fantastic group. Was this elephant known as Peter? When I hunted there in 2015 we were chased by a bull elephant. I recall that his name was Peter. He was pretty truculent back then.

The stock and front sight on the .375 looks like Griffin & Howe.

Same here.

There's one on eBay for $1,200. Has ring marks.

Looking north east from my reading chair.

Rookhawk, I didn't know that you had an FJ! I've owned my 2008 since 2010 and wouldn't trade it for anything. Kurt

I hunted with Dawid in June of this year. He didn't say anything about a stroke, but he did take a nasty fall in Nashville after the SCI show. Accounts of the incident differ, but the gist of it was that he broke his collar bone and hurt his leg. He was sufficiently recovered to the point...

I needed a VERY temporary means to reload while my wife and I were between houses, so I mounted a press to a wooden box and then added some "legs" of scrap lumber to keep it from tipping. The top board of the box flexed, so I threw a couple of pieces of scrap in there to hold it. I worked...

I told him he can have it for $250. I suspect these prices you see online are asking prices that are rarely achieved.

That's what I'm seeing too, which seems crazy to me. I bought it for $250, so did I get the deal of a lifetime? It's nothing record class, just a decent head in the mid 30's, and the mount is in good shape.

A long time ago I purchased some North American mounts at local auctions, garage sales, Craigslist, etc. to decorate my cabin. I’ve since moved my African mounts up there, so over the past few years I’ve sold and traded away a few of the NA mounts. I have just a couple left, which a friend wants...

FYI, I no longer have any excess .275 Rigby brass or ammo to sell. Kurt

Shoot me a PM.

Don't forget the Pachmayr Flush Mount sling swivels. With the sling removed they are the cleanest in appearance of any system. I had a Pachmayr .458 Lott on a pre-64 Model 70 with these at one time, and they seemed to work very well. But they necessitated mounting the forward swivel in the...

I'll take it. PM to follow.

Sorry, but they're all gone.

Welcome fellow Wisconsinite.

Agreed.

Living in Wisconsin I've eaten a lot of cheese, and there is a lot of great cheese made here. I suppose good cheese is found in almost any place that has a lot of cows or sheep. One thing that we have which I'm not sure is widely made is fresh cheese curds. I'm partial to Cady cheese curds...

Nice rifles. I have a .30/06 that was customized by a previous owner (Apex barrel, Kennedy stock) that I really enjoy Best of luck yours sale.

Bullets are SPF. Thanks Rakman.

62 bullets for sale. $110 shipped in continental US. Maybe the last two states too, but never looked into the flat rate box details that far. PayPal preferred, but check or face to face is fine. Kurt

I believe I have 2 boxes at home, and maybe a partial as well. I'll check tonight and get back to you.

Thought I had some, but I checked and they're 200 grain. I have four boxes of 50. If that's of any interest shoot me a PM.

Actually, I'll take it regardless. PM to follow.

If it's got a heavy duplex reticle I'll take it. Please advise. Thanks, Kurt

I've compared the published load data for the three 4350s where I've been able to find it, and it appears that Accurate 4350 generally takes about 2 grains more powder. That would make sense if it's slower.

I'd appreciate that! My barrel length is 21".

Thanks for info. That's really good to know. I will just start low and work my way up with the Swifts just as I did with the CEB bullets.

Does anyone have load data for the subject components? I've used Accurate 4350 with Cutting Edge Bullets 400 grain Safari Solids with great results, and I've got a lot of the powder so I'd prefer to use it, but I'm hesitant to extrapolate data between these two bullets given their disparate...

If it's of any interest I have 200 of the Solid Base in 150 grain weight that i can live without. Kurt

I'll take the A-Frames. PM to follow.

A hearty welcome from Woodville.

What attracted me was that Jack O'Connor hunted on their property in 1972. His story of that hunt first appeared in the June 1973 issue of Outdoor Life. The outfitter was the well-known Volker Grellmann. It was on this hunt that Eleanor shot a 60" kudu! I'm just curious about anyone's...

Nobody at all?

Just curious if anyone has first hand experience with Moringa Safaris? They've been in business since 1972 but there's very little about them on internet.

I'll weigh in. I handled this rifle at the DSC show in 2020 at the Cabela's booth. I vaguely recall that it was well balanced and seemed even lighter than the listed weight. What I distinctly recall was that it was a tremendous bargain, since Cabela's was asking just $8,000. It disappeared from...

Borderer, I’m reformed (OPC), so I try to observe the Lord's Day by resting from my work and recreation and only doing works of mercy, necessity, or piety. It’s tough! The historic reformed understanding of the Lord’s Day, as expressed in the Westminster standards, is pretty strict. It’s...

I would be very interested to read this as well. I've offered to host some folks stateside, but western Wisconsin is hardly a hotbed of hunting shows.

Greetings from a fellow Wisconsinite.

Welcome from a fellow Wisconsinite.

I have this same model and never had any problem with the lack of arch support. But I've worn Russell's since the late 90's and they don't have arch support either. I think my feet are rather flat.

A bunch of Warren Page's rifles were sold at auction in 2012 and some went quite cheap. The one I regret not buying was his Remington 700 in .458 Win Mag. It had a Kollmorgen 2-3/4X Bear Cub in a G&H sidemount and sold for under $1,000. I didn't put in any bids because I assumed things would...

That's always been my understanding too, but in theory it could be any defect. It's possible that cases or bullets could be out of spec in such a way that accuracy is affected, but they wouldn't let ammo that is unsafe out the door.

I've shot a lot of Federal seconds, mostly 9mm and .40 S&W. But I acquired quite a few boxes of .375 H & H with 260 grain Nosler Accubonds several years ago which shot very accurately in two of my .375 rifles. I’ve used it for deer hunting here in Wisconsin and for plains game in Namibia...

I though I read that the .470 wasn't his, but belonged to the outfitter he PH'd for. But I also thought it was an Evans, not a Lang. My memory isn't what it once was.

Congratulations! Grandchildren are such a blessing.
