    My New Double Rifle - What Is of Value to Me That Fits My Wants

    Only recently indoctrinated to the world of DR's having acquired my first from Wildcatter little more than one year ago, I can say-I am addicted and in need of group therapy. The ol' Belgian has some nice standard engraving with vibrant colored-case hardening. The wood is probably standard for...

    The 470 Double in Africa

    JJ went over my Belgian top to bottom as well. He installed his RMR mount on the rib and checked the regulation. The Belgian, made in 1956, prefers Swift A-Frames at 2150fps. I had custom loads done by Hendershot’s because I am not set-up to reload .470 however, the factory Federal A-Frame loads...

    ZIMBABWE: Two Pipe Talks

    The DR is a .470 NE guild gun, Fabrique d’armies de Leige (engraved on right barrel) made in 1956 according to the proof stamps. It resembles a Francotte action. Chopper lump, double under lug with hidden third bite.

    As best I can tell, the rifle was built in 1956 by Fabrique d’Armes Unies de Leige. Simply put, its a guild gun.

    Questions about the African Carry and Others

    I have used the ‘African’ carry and found it to be well balanced, efficient and safe while hunting. Muzzle awareness is the key to safety. When there is a PH, trackers, cameraman, game ranger, etc all around I stay close to my PH and orient the muzzle of my double out-board. When shifting...

    Krieghoff Classic “Big Five” 470 For Sale

    JJ is a genius. He did the same work on my .470 NE. Milled the factory rib for one of his RMR mounts. When the sight is removed, you can't even tell there has been work done because it looks original. That K-Gun is a beautiful rifle. Good Luck with your sale. and good hunting.

    Heym Express Rifle Which Calibre?

    I had the same debate with myself when looking for my first DGR and it came down to availability. JJ Perodeau sold me a Dakota 76 in .416 Rigby and that was that. If I was doing a custom rifle, I would pick .404 Jeffery.

    First Double Rifle

    Thank you. I am researching components and equipment now. My Dillon progressive press does not have shell plates available so I will be acquired a single stage specifically for this beast. @Wildcatter did give me his data and I got some additional input from Mr. Caswell at Champlin.

    First Double Rifle

    Just received my first DR thanks to @Wildcatter. The rifle is exquisite. It is a hand made Francotte actioned .470 NE built in 1956. Rarely fired . All hand engraved and checkered with color-cased hardening. Pictures do not do it justice.

    416 Ribgy or 458 Lott

    My favorite rifle is my Dakota 76 in .416 Rigby, 1-6x Trijicon Accupoint w/QD Talley mounts and QD RMR for really close stuff when scope is removed. I prefer non-belted cartridges and believe that all the best hunting cartridges were developed between 1900-1930. The Rigby is low pressure, easy...

    Sidearm when rifle hunting?

    I had this discussion with my PH. He carries for self-defense against poachers and for finishing chores. Personally, I always carry a side arm regardless of circumstances, hunting or otherwise.

    Unfortunately, they were dealing with multiple parties that day. This incident occurred on our return from Port Elizabeth. We were met at Africa Sky and escorted to the counter, then they had to go deal with a very large party and said they would meet us at the SAPS office. It is not my intent...

Contract security (Eagle Security) carries your rifle through the airport for you, its the law. Your rifle MUST go through South African Police Service for import and export...
