Around 18 months ago now I was looking to buy a ‘lifetime’ .375. Intention was to get something that I and then my children would enjoy. I’d been looking at Heym and Rigby. Tom at Rigby Australia was really helpful and we’d spoken about options when an old hunting buddy put me in touch with Tod at Charles Lancaster.
Tod and I had a couple of conversations and he drew up a spec sheet and the deal was done…. Fast forward a year and she was ready to make the trip down to New Zealand. The communication was spot on throughout the build as were the recommendations over what to and what not to spend money on.. unfortunately due to customs being a pain here she just missed (by mere minutes) hunting water buffalo last year but she is coming to Chase banteng and water buff in September and tempted to take her for a Sambar in June.
Initial groupings (without load development to select powder are pleasing) and I’m looking forward to getting her tested out further.
Photos are from just before she was shipped here
Could not be happier with her
