Very nice wood on the express rifles!

Ruger replaced mine free of charge. They gave me the choice of wood or hogue. Since then I bought a 375 Ruger with a McMillan stock, i don’t think it will break!!

Ammo received, thank you!

Could you post a picture of the right side? The 26B is a fantastic little rifle! I was on a hog hunt near Brady Texas 2007. The owner of Heym, his side kick (name escapes me) and Chris Sells were present and had a 26B chambered in 30-30. It made a big impression on me. At the time my...

I’ll take these, sending message

Yes, I’ll send you a message.

Stunning piece of wood! Want to trade for an RSM in 416 Rigby?

If you chose to ignore that little voice and listen to your wife (assuming you’re married) “ buy another gun and I’m cutting you off” then I’ll take it!

Congratulations! We need pictures of your new rifle!

I hunt with the 8x version of these, my favorite binoculars, not too big, not too small!

Very nice wood!!

Dang, I just watched a review and was gonna take it, do you have any more?

Can you boil water with it? Lol

I had just found it using the search tool, thank you

Seems I recall an optics dealer on AH that claims to have the best prices on Swarovski optics but you have to call for pricing. I’d like a 8x25 or 10x25 CL for the wife. Thank you, Merry Christmas!

Scope received, perfect transaction, deal with confidence with Bwaybuilder , thank you

No, but I have 2 375 Rugers, an Alaskan with McMillan stock and African in a hogue. They would be out of place with the shinny steel/ wood Rugers!

Heck yea, we could start a AH scam victims support group! Haha

I’m actually planning to sell the 416. I bought it to see what all the fuss was about concerning the RSMs. I bought this one, carried it for miles, shot some hogs, solid rifle, accurate! But I prefer my Winchester big bores. I’ll look at the KBB (Krish Blue Book) and come up with a price...

I propose we end on a more pleasant note, a picture of my humble Ruger collection, top to bottom, 3006, 7 mag, 338, 416. It would have been nice to have added the 270 and 300! Probably would have grabbed his 338 as well.

70 post and we still don’t know prices! Maybe you didn’t notice my last post on page 4 but I asked for a PM with pricing for each rifle. If we strike a deal I’m willing to drive to Atlanta. I was scammed on this forum this year for $1600 so your damn right I’m apprehensive and will not mail...

John, PM me some prices please. I’m 7 hours away and always looking for an excuse to visit friends in Atlanta!

And we still don’t know for certain the price for each rifle. Or did I miss something? Also, I see which rifle is the 270 as stamped on the barrel. Not sure which is the 300 and which the 338. The 2 scoped rifles have very nice wood ! Also, I’ve never seen a 2506 in the wild! I have 3 of...

Not in the original post. I see where you mention $2500 and $3500.

Just a friendly reminder, I think this would help tone down the situation.

I reviewed the KBB (Krish blue book) for value. No less than $15000 for all 3, private party, plus shipping! Hahaha

Thank you, kids are gone and we are planning a safari themed remodel for one of the bedrooms.

I want the rug!

No worries, thank you for the update.

You have not lived until you’ve taken a wild hog with a 500 nitro!

It’s a USDA effort. According to the crew Louisiana has a dedicated helicopter as well.

Update: I purchased the Merkel 500 nitro with shotgun barrels. James Wayne was excellent to deal with from start to finish. All emails and shipping were prompt and professional. A+ for Ada Adames at James Wayne. The rifle looks great as in the pictures. The double rifle balances at the...

I recognize that kitchen!

Here’s another scam artist. I talked to the Ponca city investigator and he said he’s an old dude helping a third party pull off the scams in exchange for sex talk. He has a history of this. The investigator seemed optimistic but I never heard anything else from him. If anyone here can...

I have an off topic question. Your engraving looks different than my Merkel 500 NE made around 2010. Is yours laser engraving? Now, back on topic, I definitely like the idea of pushing the red dot forward against the rear iron sight. I would also want it low enough to co-witness with the irons.

Cajunchefray, We gave these away but they seemed fat and healthy. I’ve had many processed over the years and all have been good. I’d be happy to take you hunting but this group vanished! Ive been flying over several times daily and walked it 2 more times with no luck. The club has ~800 acres...

N Nice cruiser! I have a BJ42LX and HJ47. We were in the 47. They add to the adventures, doubles and cruisers play well together!

Yes, cottonmouth, they are plentiful!

I recently spotted a group of hogs on the hunting lease and immediately notified my buddy in Michigan to come on down. I sold my Merkel last fall and have yet to replace it so requested that he bring one for me. He hunted with a Krieghoff 500/416 loaded with Barnes 300 gr TSX and I carried his...

As previously mentioned, the kriefhoff cocking mechanism is very safe. If it’s not cocked it will not shoot! However, it is a much longer throw with more pressure than the safety on other doubles. I once hunted hogs with a krieghoff 500/416 that belonged to a friend. Very nice gun and very...

I googled this a while back. I’ve never been fitted with a try gun but I have been measured. This technique was in the ballpark of those measurements. If you have a fine gun room nearby you could stop by and shoulder weapons until you get one that’s feels like an extension of your body. Copy...

Mark A and Rigby Mauser, I agree 100%! We have wild hogs in my area. Absolutely the best practice one can get with a double. Typically conducted in challenging terrain for stalking, lots of running shots and reloads with the occasional close quarters charge. I’ve killed hundreds with my...

That’s my concern as well. I keep reminding myself that gunmakers have been pairing shotgun barrels with double rifles much longer than I’ve been alive so they must have it figured out. The true test is to get the firearm in hand and point at something! If it feels good, points good and I...

They have had this combo for a while. The test target is dated 2019. I have had several email exchanges with James Wayne concerning this rifle and they have been prompt to respond. They offer an inspection period of 3 days. If I had it shipped and decided the shotgun barrels were a total...
