Beautiful NOS RSM stock purchased from Numrich arms several years ago. Never mounted and bears no marks or flaws. Numrich sells these for $258 plus tax and shipping, and you don’t get to select the wood. I am asking $275 shipped in the conus for this one and you know you are getting very nice...

Cleaning off my work bench and selling a few things. I have three NECG Universal Recoil Pads. Two large red pads, one 1.25" and the other 1". The 1" pad looks to have the Quick Lok adaptor included. The other is a medium red pad, 1.5" /None of these have ever been out of the package. 20$...

Reposting this from my old ad. Great glass here at a great price. Meopta Meopro 3.5 x 10 x 44, 1 inch tube, Z plex reticle, never mounted and in new condition. $400 shipped in the conus.

Cleaning out my safe and offering four great scopes, as described below. Nikon Monarch African 1-4, 1 inch tube, German #4. These are great DG scopes and are no longer made. This one has faint ring marks and one small ding, as pictured. Glass is excellent $225 shipped in the conus...

My buddy are flying out on May 1 for a buffalo, sable and whatever else safari with Somerby. If anyone else is flying out maybe we can connect in ATL.

Selling my Ruger RSM in 416 Rigby as it is redundant with my custom 404 Jeffery. Scope is NOT included in the sale. I haven't fired many rounds through this and I don't think it was shot much before I bought it. I don't see any bluing wear and very little wear on the stock. When I bought it...

I am planning a safari for May of this year (postponed from last May). Whether that actually happens is a separate question, but in preparing for the trip I am wondering whether the AES export system discussed here...

More safe cleaning. I am selling my early South Carolina made Model 70. I purchased this gun around 2008 or 2009. It is a stainless featherweight in the classic 270 win. A few years ago I had it cerakoted in graphite black (looks very much like a matte blue) and put it in an upgraded model...

I am selling my pre 64 Model 70 sporter in 270 Winchester. Serial number is 212xxx which dates the gun to 1951 per my internet research. The gun is currently in a custom Accurate Innovations stock in a lovely Bastogne walnut, but I also have the original stock. I suspect the gun has been...

Just your basic Model 70 in the classic 375 H&H. I purchased this for a project that I have decided not to pursue. Gun is in VG+ condition. The only wear I see is around the muzzle and on the rear sight where the bluing has been worn somewhat. As is you could certainly take it to Alaska or...

We are building a house with a dedicated trophy room and I am putting together a display of Kynoch ammo, in the 5 round red and yellow boxes. I am looking for a box or two each of the following 416 Rigby 458 Lott 450/400 3" I am not concerned whether it is vintage or recent production so long...

Selling my Model 70 Safari Express in 416 RM as it is redundant with my 404. Bought this a few years ago used from Cabelas and have not done much with it. This is a fairly recent production gun made after the New Haven plant closed. I would call the metal 98% and the wood 95%. Only mark I...

Not in hand yet, but on its way from Accurate Innovations. Wes sent me some pictures yesterday. I picked up this SC production 375 H&H Safari Express a few years ago and hadn't done much with it. Decided to spruce it up with a nice stick of English. Found something on the AI web site that...

Question for taxidermists (or anyone else that may know). I am having my cape buffalo back skin tanned to smooth leather at Specialty Leather in Boone, IA. I am interested in having the leather made into gun cases or other products. Recommendations on vendors who will make such products out...

Who is attending the KC SCI show this year? I plan to attend the banquets on both the 9th and 10th. I entered my buffalo and leopard in the awards contest Friday night and I would like to hear Boddington on Saturday night. I will be alone, so if you have room at your table, I'd enjoy the company.

Just got some pictures of my revised 404 Jeffery. I had a Model 70 converted a couple of years ago and took it to Zim last May for a buff and leopard hunt. The gun worked flawlessly and I really enjoy the round. However, I cut some corners when I had the gun built and found a few things that...

Bought this from Numrich Arms as a spare for my Ruger RSMs. Actually, bought two, decided to keep just one. Circassian walnut. Not crazy figure, but decent. I believe this is for the second generation RSM (24 inch heavy barrel with banded sling swivel stud) but would work for gen 3 (23 inch...

U 5 model 70 stocks for sale. First three pictures are a take-off New Haven sporter stock from the 300 rum that I used for my 404 project. Some handling marks, but nothing serious. Glass and pillar bedding. Let's say $75 shipped in the conus. Next three stocks (next six pictures) are safari...

Selling my Model 70 Extreme Weather in 300 wsm. Rifle is NIB. All I have done is removed the sticker from the barrel, never fired. I bought two, one in 300 win mag and this one. I have decided to keep the 300 winnie and sell this one. This is an FN gun, stainless metal and factory B&C...

I arrived in Southeastern Zimbabwe with my PH from Somerby Safaris, Charles Humphries, on the afternoon of May 18th and met their Zim concession partner and staff at their remote camp adjacent to a very large national park. I was here to hunt an old dagga boy and a leopard. It was my second...

My journey begins tomorrow! It is hard to believe it is finally here. I have watched all the leopard hunting videos I can get my hands on. Practiced countless hours in my basement, dry-firing at my leopard target, memorizing the location of the vitals. Of course, several boxes of live rounds...

Saw this this morning. They are at it again! Next we know the Cape Buffalo will be endangered. I have a leopard hunt booked for next May in Zim. I will be watching this closely. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/wayne-pacelle/donald-trump-jr-may-be-ou_b_11206874.html Donald Trump Jr. May Be...

Finally picked up my 404J last week. As a reminder, this started as a M70 Classic in 300 RUM. Put on a Pac Nor barrel, NECG sights and Williams one piece bottom metal. I found a surplus stock on line from the Cabelas 50th anniversary run a few years back and my smith Cerakoted it in graphite...

My trophies from my last safari are shipping and headed to my taxidermist. I am looking for enough zebra skin to cover a couple of panels on my pedestal for my cape buffalo. A backskin should be more than enough, but I might consider an entire flatskin if necessary. Doesn't have to be AAA...

In the process of building my 404J I have ended up with an extra stock. I bought this from Midwest Gunworks who bought out all of the Winchester inventory when the New Haven plant closed. It is in new condition and will fit all post 64 M70s with a safari barrel profile (basically number 5)...

Wanting to thin out the gun safe and also generate some funds for my 404J project. For sale is my Mark V in 375 H&H. This started life as a matte blued synthetic model that I restocked with a nos Euromark walnut stock. I had it glass bedded and it came from the factory with two internal cross...

My recent buff hunt has me convinced that I will do that again. Hell, I'd go back next week if I could! Anyway, I used my Kimber Caprivi in 375 H & H with fine results. However, I now have the little guy on my shoulder, whispering in my ear, saying I should consider one of the 40s. Of course...

Leaving for my first DG safari in a little over a month. Am contemplating whether/how to record the safari on video. Thought about the GoPro, and that might be pretty cool for capturing a lot of the activity, but for the actual stalk and kill I think it is pretty limited by lack of zoom. Am...

Starting to prepare for my upcoming buff hunt in earnest! Leaving on July 18, headed to meet up with my friends at Somerby Safaris. 7 day safari, focused on buffalo but will add some plains game to the menu if I score early on nyati. Have pricing on sable and waterbuck, among others. Family...

Well, they say the African virus gets in your blood and I must now agree. My son and I returned from our first safari in May and I can't get Africa out of my head. I am planning ahead, probably to 2015, and looking to go back for buffalo and maybe some plains animals I didn't take this last...

I know there are several on the forum that have these rifles, so I am looking for some wisdom. I just picked up a nice one in 458 wm and am probably going to pick one up in 375 as well. My question is this: I am planning to mount a leupold 1.5-5 with illuminated reticle on the 458. I want to...

I'd like to thank everyone on the forum who replied to the many questions I posted while planning our recent safari. Your advice was invaluable while my son, Ryan, and I made our preparations. The forum is truly a wonderful way to share experiences and help those of us who are newbies to this...

My son Ryan and I returned last week from our first safari in KZN. What an experience! It was the most fantastic hunting experience I have ever had and unlike anything you can do here in North America (you guys already knew that). We took 10 animals, ate like kings and were treated to...

My son and I leave on the 11th for our PG safari to the RSA! It is our first and we are stoked. All of the months of research and prep are finally coming together. I want to thank all of you on this forum for your help and advice the last 6 months. This is a wonderful venue and a great place...

Buddy and I are planning our first elk hunt in 2014. Looking for a guaranteed tag, high shot %, guided hunt. My research indicates that it will be on private land and Colorado and New Mexico are good possibilties. Based on our research so far, it seems that a high % hunt for a 300+ bull is...

I understand that ammunition has to be in a separate locked case when traveling within or from RSA. Does anyone know whether the ammunition box has to be a hard case, or whether a soft cordura case would work as long as it locks? I was at Bass Pro looking at options and they had small toiletry...

We continue the planning for our first safari to RSA in May. I am getting the 4457s for our rifles tomorrow and have arranged a service to help with the SAP520. I have been studying what kind of travel case to buy for our rifles and am thinking either the Pelican or Tuffpak. In either case, I...

As some of you already know, my son and I are planning our maiden safari to the RSA in May 2013. I have talked to my doctor, my county health department, consulted the CDC website and the RSA website. I am certain that we do not need the YF vaccine if we are not travelling to or through...

Question for the experts on the forum. I am taking my first safari in May for PG. Thinking of a 375 h & h with the idea I will take it back in the future for buffalo. My other guns are Weatherbys, though in non-Weatherby calibers. I like and trust these guns and find that the stock design...

So, I have planned a first-time safari to the RSA next May for plains game. I think I have a handle on the cost for the safari itself, and I have identified a great taxidermist here in the states and know what that will cost. I'm trying to get a handle on what it will cost to prepare my...

Greetings, I am a new member here and planning my first African safari next May for my son and I. Joined here to seek advice and learn all I can before we head over to the RSA. We are booked with Henk Brink of Kido Safaris in Kwa Zulu-Natal. Looking forward to say the least!
