    416 Rigby Ammo For Sale

    So I bought a handful of 416 Rigby and 404 Jeff in anticipation of either buying one of the two or building one… I have since then changed my mind and I am going to stay with the 375 H&H case as my standard as I have a 264, 7STW, 300, 338, 375, and 458 based on it… I will add a 400 H&H and a 470...

    Living Dangerously

    Yes, I grew up Tucson and raced for Tucson Kawasaki, so Firebird was my home track… It was very tight on the back end but very fast coming down the 1/4 mile straight heading into the carousel at the end of the straight…. Many times you were 170mph+ when you hit the Dunlop Bridge and would have...

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    I would and have worn my Omega through all of these jobs! As a merchant I was particularly hard on my PO and have also worn it while putting on a custom Mid-Arm kit onto my 2006 Jeep LJ! That meant using angle grinders, Dermels, chisels, and hammers while grinding all the stock suspension mounts...

    Optics thoughts, Leica vs Leupold

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    Although the rate of return over the last decade for Rolex may be true, saying the purchase of one of the other well known brands as “frivolous” is not! Rolex prices have skyrocketed over the last decade because of investors and shady practices by Rolex themselves! As to the others I don’t know...

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    @rookhawk I’m confused? “It's an oxymoron. You can't whine about how pretentious Rolex is and then go out and buy an Omega, Tag, Seiko, Panerei, Tudor, Rado, Cartier, etc, etc and expect to have an appreciating alternative asset class.” Are you say that the purchase of one of these watches is...

    >35 Whelen versus. 338 Win Mag TKO values (modified)

    Nope… A 500gr 458 bullet has a SD of 341where as a 400gr 416 bullet has a SD of 330… The 500gr 458 at reasonable velocity will always out penetrate a 400gr 416 of equal bullet design…

    Shipping large caliber ammunition

    I have shipped a bunch of ammunition via UPS lately and have never been asked the question of what caliber it is? I’d bet if you just declare thats its ammunition and leave it at that you’re going to be fine

    Look, I like the 35 Whelen! I think it makes one of the best CQ bush guns out there!!! Not for Dangerous Game but for everything else! Id like to one day make one in a 20” bbl Mannlicher stocked custom… But it’s not a 338Win Mag no matter how bad someone wants it to be! It’s not and will never...

    New custom rifle questions

    I worked for Swarovski for two years, that does NOT make me an expert or knowledgeable about every brand or model out there! However, I would not take a Vortex on a dangerous game hunt! Respectfully, my opinion only…

    New custom rifle questions

    Agree RR, not sure I’d take a Vortex to a dangerous game hunt either? Not trying to belittle or denigrate but when your life is on the line Chinese optics are not what I’d be using…
