I could probably handle the Rafiki but I doubt I'd want anything to do with firing Sahar. I'm just to big a wimp.

A posting I found: Westley Richards 700/577 Nitro Express Double Rifle Posted on July 11, 2013 by Rachel-Elizabeth Many years ago whilst exhibiting at the Paris Auteuils country fair, I was approached by a gentleman who had spotted an old Kynoch catalogue on my stand. It contained an article...

Found the Municion reference to it. Impressive Ballistics. Wonder what the recoil figures are on a DR.

I would like to find something on the order of 40 cases, preferably new and all the same brand. Please PM me if you have some for sale. I guess this pretty much only applies to those of you residing in the United States. Don't think I can import. Don't know though for sure. I had a box of 100...

I didn't know they were all WR. I'll add that to my base.

The one with the long neck is a .577/700 Westley Richards or it might be .700/.577 WR. Always confused me. The one on the far right is probably near .700 and beats me about the one on the left. Probably a something .700 as all the basic case look the same to me.

Hard to tell without scale. I'm going to guess it is some sort of wildcat pistol cartridge but beyond that???

I would imagine it would be fairly flat shooting as well. Good bean field gun. I believe one of the other experiments involved a squeeze bore arrangement of some kind.

Is that the goofy thing based on the shortened 20mm case? IIRC I read about it some years ago and threw up my hands. Have no idea what it's called. Sorry, hit the enter button a little late.

Going to keep the stock on it. Actually easier to handle. Time for a sling.

I believe it is German. IIRC they played with some "Hyper-velocity" stuff before they developed the 13mm AT rifle.

I have a .72 DR and it is about all I can take with heavy loads. Playing with conicals in the 780 to 1050gr range when I get my molds. Hopefully next month.

.30 WCF is good. Killed a lot of deer. If you want to be different go with a .32 Winchester Special. Nothing more than a .30 WCF necked up for a .32 bullet. The 7-30 Waters is very close pressure wise to the .30WCF. .32-40 WCF if you want something kind of old school. .338 Marlin Express is...

Any possibility it is an 8mm Anti-tank round?

That it would and in this state they are no regulated so I guess technically it is not subject to the open view laws. Have to check with my attorney on that one.

I quite agree. Also, around here we do a lot of tree stand hunting for whitetail deer. Think it will be fine there as well.

For the most part I am in agreement. I guess Warthogs grow on a person. LOL

After some thought on the subject, there are only two that I am really interested in: the Impala and the Waterbuck. I know that may sound kind of narrow but if I am going to hunt and consider bringing back trophies, I only want to hunt and kill what I want to mount.

Mentioned going to Africa to the Memsahib, though these days that may not be a PC term, and she is ready. Wants to do it next year. I'll be asking a LOT or questions between now and then.

If you mean the one I have, I have yet to fully determine that though it is good to about 50 yards so I guess either fur or humans. As for Howdahs in general I believe they were intended for tigers in India. Not terribly certain on that but I am still researching the history of the actual pistol.

I bought the actual pistol(?) through a private sale. They were (are) carried by Cabela's and Dixie Gun Works. 3 basic variants: The dbl .58, the dbl 20 gauge, and a Cape Pistol .5o/20 gauge. The stock is also marketed by the same retailers. DGW has them in a kit for.

Taking a few minutes to wish all of you in the United States and those of you citizens abroad a happy and safe Fourth of July. For all the rest of our brethren I wish you a very safe and enjoyable weekend.

I know this is kind of left field however..... I have several BP rifles, DRs and Capeguns I hunt with but..... Some time ago I picked one up. It was a very good steal, I mean deal so I just had to get it. It is what I refer to as a fun gun and I have been shooting patched ball in it. It appears...

I would love to hunt Africa "once." Mostly I am interested in the antelope.

Yes, that is Pooby. His registered name was German and long, Pluto von????? I named him Hades, the wife called him Pooby. He passed many years ago but he was a great dog. Loved to sit at that kiddy picnic table.

You are most welcome.

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome.

I'll probably hunt just about everything from hogs and whitetail deer up. It has become a kind of love affair. Twice as good as a single shot but more fun than bolt guns.

Just a minute to say hello from Ammon, NC. I am retired from the US Army and a retired machinist. I have discovered double rifles and while I don't expect to be hunting Africa anytime soon, we have some DG on this continent that needs hunting. That's about it.
