No issues with the .375 I got last August.

I notified my dealer to be on the lookout for one in January 2024. Davidson’s called him in July saying they had one. It arrived August 1st. I believe I paid $1550.

Always on the lookout for .348 Winchester.

Can anyone identify the rifle Elvis is holding? It appear to be of Austrian origin.

The only big bores I saw were lever actions in .45/70. Winchester had Model 70s on display; but when I questioned them about availability, they basically toed the ground and mumbled they were making them as fast as they can. I suggested offering the Model 70 Alaskan in 9.3x62 and .300 H&H. This...

I will take this. PM incoming.

I appreciate the helpful information and kind remarks regarding the rifle. I certainly consider myself fortunate to have it.

I have read posts claiming the CZ550 needs some work to make it field worthy. I brought mine home the day I bought it and noticed the bolt travel seemed just a bit rough. I applied some Flitz metal polish to the bolt. The rifle has fed as slick as butter on a hot skillet since the first range...

I acquired this rifle, about which some of you may be able to provide further information. It appears to be a Mauser Type M Sporting Carbine. The left side of the receiver is marked “Mauserwerke Oberndorf.” The left side of the receiver ring is marked “7x57” and the serial number. The butt plate...

I will take those. Sending you a message.

Breathtaking rifle.

Can anyone advise the correct procedure for removing the three-leaf sight from a CZ Safari Magnum? Do you simply drive it out from right to left with a punch, as with most rifles?

Prayers sent for this man and his family.

It would be a 9.3x62.

Sorry if I brought up an old topic. It appears the overwhelming opinion is: yes, it is. For the first time in my life, the means are at hand to afford one of these. I have plenty of good rifles; but if I order a Rigby, I’m thinking of selling off some of the good ones and just hanging onto a...

Is the Rigby Highland Stalker worth the money?

After researching the matter a bit, I’m certain the rifle in question is one of the “California“ Rigbys. It’s quite nice looking; but apparently, they are not well regarded.

Stopping by a local shop today that deals primarily in high end shotguns, I noticed a double rifle in the used rack appearing to be in like new condition. It turned out to be a .450 3-1/4 N.E. bearing the John Rigby & Co. mark. The price was $17000, which struck me as unusually reasonable for a...

I am ok with it. A .300 H&H may just turn up.

I acquired a quantity of Geco 9.3x62 ammunition loaded with 255-grain soft point bullets. The price was right, so I got it while the getting was good. I’m familiar with Geco ammunition and have had no problems with it in other cartridges; but can find nothing concerning this particular load...

You appear to be a man with the best of intentions. But you obviously hate to part with your rifle; and, believe it or not, $3500 is a pittance you will regret parting with it for. I won’t go any further with it, except to say it never pays to part with a beloved gun. Sell something else.

Papabear; I have been in your position and have sold many fine guns in the name of being a responsible husband and father. My advice to you is: keep the rifle.

AFRICA SUN SAFARIS

Looking at your criteria, with.45 Super perhaps being used, I’d suggest you consider one of the Heckler and Koch offerings.

REALLY glad I bought mine when I did. A wonderful rifle.

Shootist43; in addition to Remington and CZ rimfires, I have rifles in 7x57, .30/06, .35 Remington, and ,375 H&H. Then, of course, there is my .54 muzzleloader. I hunt the game available to me; which would be deer, bear, wild boar, and elk for the most part. I also hunt with handguns; mainly an...

I am not an African hunter; but one who dreams of one day becoming one. Without dreams, after all, where would be the enjoyment of life? In the meantime, I love reading about all types of hunting and the rifles for the task, as well as shooting and reloading for the ones I own. Having visited...

RANCE SAFARIS Thank you.
