[Flewis]

Flewis, your way past do for a visit . The door is always open.

I will see if I can fix that in the next couple of weeks.

 

[Altitude sickness]

Joseph Lang 400/360 on the Webley 1897 patent.
I think one of the best looking of the British falling block actions and quite rare.

That is by far the best looking falling block design.

George Gibbs, can we see more of that rifle case?

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

Leopard and Buffalo.

Well not a Boddington special edition Buffalo , so maybe more correctly just 450/400 3". It is quickly become my favorite rifle on the deer lease. I bought it to take to SA for Cape Buffalo, but the wife says I am to old and decrepit to go. I feel the old, but not the decrepit. I have taken deer and hogs with that gun.

The Leopard works good on Deer. But I got rid of the Swarovski and found nice old Leupold 4X. I could not get proper eye relief with the Swarovski. Nothing wrong with Swarovski, but it just didn't work on this rifle.

Never too old for Africa!

Having had a bunch of Ruger No.1’s over the years, here are a few of them.
A 24” Lipseys 45-70
A stainless 257 Robert’s.
The Boddington set. 7X57, 300 H&H, 375 Ruger, 450-400 NE & 450 NE
Regretfully I no longer own these rifles.

Not in the same league as those listed above, but it's a Ruger #1 Doug Turnbull 475 Wildcat

Turnbull does some amazing work!

 

[degoins]

Alexander Henry 450-400 2 3/8” , made in 1892 for the Maharaja Rana of Dholpur. Excellent shooter, may try to get a deer this year.

Pretty tough competition when a Doug Turnbull is considered, "Not I the same league as those listed above" lol. Really enjoying this thread.

It reminds me of a rooster that found an ostrich egg and brought it back to the hen house, just to "show them what folks in other places are doing."

Agree with your assessment, and are those original case colors? If so, then it is a time capsule...amazing!

It’s been refinished for sure.

What scope are you using on that rifle?

 

[Hedge774]

I picked up my Lipseys in 275 Rigby last week. Bucket list item checked off.

 

[TennesseeHunter]

Not as impressive as many of the ones before but a few months ago got into black power cartridge rifles with a pedersoli 45-120. This was a picture after shooting the furthest I’ve shot with it at 650 yards. And I got a hit on the third shot too which is not bad. My goal is to do 1000 yards in a reasonable number of shots taken.

 

[Stompbox]

Here is a kind of rare single shot stalking rifle that I have, it is a Chapuis Oural chambered in 7X65 R.
This one was engraved by Jean Marie Smets.

 

[Art Lambart II]

What scope are you using on that rifle?

It's a 1 x 5 Leupold with a heavy duplex reticle
