    P14 318 WR

    Sometimes I start thinking about things and this is one of those times. In an article/thread on here about the 318WR, it mentioned that WR at one time used P14 actions to make them. Some very quick digging suggested a P17 would be a better fit. As I have some possible donor actions for this...

    P14/17 extended mag release

I have got quite used to being able drop ammo from my normal sporting rifles (mauser, winchester and remington), as they all have a button or such that can be pushed to drop the floorplate.

    416 rem mag case trimmer

    I have to be fair but I haven't measured the cases so probably not imperative at the moment. Been looking at a case trimmer for the 416. Not a lot here in Kiwiland. Already have a Lyman ezee trim set but need a 416 pilot which I can't seem to find, I also have a lee quick trim, the one that...

    Shooting from sticks

    Please forgive me if I sound like a dummy here. Reading about going on safari and one of the things that popped up was getting used to and practising shooting from sticks. I know what it is but it isn't something that hunters in NZ do that much. Our topography and style of hunting doesn't...

    Rear mounted express sights

    As the thread title suggests, has anyone had experience with mounting an express/leaf sight on the rear receiver ring? A bit like the Brno integral peep sight but obviously a leaf and most likely mounted to a scope base of some type. All the benefits of an express sight but with the longer sight...

    300 mag projectiles

A lot of people using a variety of 30 cal magnums on a lot of game In the future, I have a project that will eventually turn into a 300 mag of some sort. 300 win mag would be the easiest and simplest but I...

    Whats a better scope than...

    At the moment I have a circa 97 leupold vx-111 1.5-5 on the 416. Let's be honest here, haven't shot a lot of game with it and nothing for years. Was in Aussie for over 10 years and I didn't have it there and have used other more appropriate rifles since being back. Whilst it is a pretty good...

Apologies if it's in the wrong spot like I did with the 416 thread of mine just recently added a Czech Mauser to the menagerie. Got a packet of PMC 170grs, a mixed packet of 196gr norma and S+B soft points and...

    express sights for remington

    I have a remington 700 in 416 Remington. Bought about 1995 I think. It has standard remington open sight (removed at present) and always considered getting some more classic express sights for it. I do realise I should be measuring the OD of the barrel to get the right heights etc. Whats...

    Gday and happy new year from new Zealand

    Done a bit of lurking and finally joined up. Never been to Africa but would love to one day for a big old dagga boy and give the 416 remmy a go. Don't do as much hunting as I should but that's my fault as there is some good stuff around. Anyway all the best and happy new year
