Added a unicorn to the bag....

New years eve bump

Selling my Hawkeye African. 223. Excellent condition. No box. 2200.00 shipped to your FFL.

LOL

Rifle is sold pending funds to Russ16. Thanks for all the interest and kind words.

Responded to your PM

I've decided to sell my Chapuis 450-400. I am the second owner. It is very good shooter but I've only taken deer with it. I'm selling it to buy a .450 BPE that I stumbled across and since I already have 2 other nitro doubles and no BP double ,I'm letting this one go. Overall in excellent shape...

Absolutely incredible!! If I'm not mistaken, I saw a write up about this rifle somewhere. I can't remember when or where though.

What a fantastic bunch of double rifle goodies!!

brother I hear ya about being a .com dummy. this about the only site I can post pictures on. I'm about to have to get a new phone myself and I'm dreading it. PM on the way.

You do realize, old friend, that pictures are required. :)

I've never fired a 577 but I'm happy to take your word for it.

LOL.......time and gravity whoops us all sooner or later. Yes, pass it along to someone who claims to thrive on recoil.

No intrusion at all sir and you are correct in your assessment. I was thinking more terms of modern rimmed cartridges and that was the best i could come up with off the top of my head. The Hornady actually expanded quite a bit on that shoulder and made that gaping wound that can be seen just...

Awesome!!! Thanks yet again for sharing!!

I've used every magnum 375 that I've owned on deer. It also works well on bobcats. I've been very fortunate over the past few years to be able to acquire a few old rifles and I hunt with all of them. It's what they were made for.

Thank you sir! Are you using the magnum version or the 2 1/2?

Probably the .375 Winchester would be the closest I can think of. Yes it is a very fun cartridge especially in that old double.

Thank you sir! The load was 43 grains of IMR4895 and a 270 grain Hornady round nose soft point. I also loaded a few 235 grain Speers with 46 grains of the same powder that are showing great promise. I have some 200 grain bullets I plan to try next.

Hello old friend, The bullet was a 270 grain Hornady. You are exactly right about the H&H being more fun to shoot than that steel butt plated 8 bore was. I'm glad to hear took some deer with her. About 5 shots in a session was about all I want to shoot that beast.....and I was a lot younger then.

Thank you!

I don't know what happened to the pic. It showed 100% loaded

Thank you sir!

I posted this doe I took this past Saturday with my H&H no.2 in .375 2 1/2 over on the double rifle board before I saw this post....

Here are 2 bucks from this season taken with my Rigby 30/06, according to Rigby, made in 1925 for a woman.

The stars aligned this past Saturday evening and I managed to take this doe with my H&H no.2 in .375 2 1/2 at about 50 yards.

By all means take that incredible beauty hunting.....and of course, please share the results as you have so kindly shared this treasure with us.

Magnificent in every way! Thanks for sharing.

Words fail me! Thanks for sharing!

At the time that I had my VC built (2012) they guaranteed their doubles with monometal bullets. I don't know about now.

I've only used them on deer and hogs and they worked well.

Brings back wonderful memories!

How bout a look at that knife?

Thanks for sharing that wonderful treasure!

Yet another magnificent beauty.......thanks for sharing!!!

IMHO all bolt action stocks should be made exactly like the Martini Express.

I think this is where some people blame their doubles for problems, they themselves created by trying to treat their double like a bolt rifle.

What a great report!! Congrats on all the fine trophies and thanks for bringing us along!!

It gives me GREAT feelings friend!! Thanks for sharing! I hope the same thing.

Yes.

It doesn't show on their site but they still make them. I found that out when I bought my second one.

Collander. We've got one exactly like it and my wife still uses to drain spaghetti noodles. I'm pretty sure it was her mothers.

I like the Red Ox Flat Dog. It does exactly what described.

You sir have a museum of fine rifles!!

I've still got one in reserve.
