I really like shooting it and taken to modern pressures in the #1 it outperforms the 7/08 which can kill everything. I’m planning at this point taking it along with the 375 H&H to Africa in the spring.

I went with 1/9 on my 275 rigby. I can just barely get to 2900 with that rifle shooting 150s and mono or bonded, 1in 9 was enough. If I ever build another bolt gun, not an unlikely possibility given it costs just about 2x as much to Rebarrel a #1 as it does a Remington footprint, it will...

Copy that I’ll keep you posted. It’s in the final stages, we’ll see how quick they are.

30 years sitting is a long time but I would as you have planned do some reloading, maybe give the old girl a good cleaning and enjoy retirement. You and I are both old enough to remember when a rifle that gave consistent 1 1/2 inch groups was considered a keeper. I don’t remember when Remington...

I’ve a new barrel arriving shortly on one of my #1s, 275 Rigby (7x57). 1 in 9 twist ultra Match from Pac Nor. Jorey, when do you start the load building process? During break in or after that chore? I plan to run accubonds (140) primarily for hunting, Ballistic tips for fun and probably Barnes...

Overlapped with a family group when in Africa end of May. Couple of young teens shooting a 6 creedmore. The kids shot well, the trackers were kept busy, 100 yard death run kind of thing. Kudu was the top end and eland was too much. There was much talk about what an easy rifle to shoot and reload...

If you shoot 1/2 MOA every time you shoot and you shoot once a week you got a half minute rifle.

I learned the large sample size idea, for 20 years I saved my cold barrel target in a note book, then graphed it from 0. Overall The group size was larger than the best three shot group, however within one standard deviation I could have called the rifle a 1/2 MOA after three shots or 3/4 MOA...

Yep, good job Dad!

Dang. I need a lesson. That is some fine work.

I have a Barnes load worked up for all of my rifles, just in case. I have found success with about .100 jump in most cases. Looks like you have a winner with your 7mag.

What? You given up elk hunting :)

On my last trip to Africa I passed on several Fallow bucks. Several pretty good ones. I still have nightmares about one of them. Next trip I’ll shoot a good one if presented the opportunity. Have a great hunt.

Did you draw any good tags, with that load doing 3K you’ll be golden.

I somehow managed not to draw a mule deer tag in Oregon, Idaho, Montana or Wyoming. I did manage to draw elk tags in Oregon and Idaho. Thinking about going over to the west side of the state and hunt Blacktails, that is an over the counter hunt. It’s been years since I hunted them but one of my...

Shorter days really start to become apparent at this latitude. On August 1 we would have 18 hours of daylight and add a little twilight on top of that. Sunrise would be about 0600 sunset about 2030. August first was battery check day on all our rifle lights, and flash lights in the guest cabins...

So I still get weather Alerts for the Alaska Peninsula though I’ve been retired for a few years. About 4 years ago we suffered through the same event, I called home told Catherine how bad it was. She hung up on me. Apparently it was 117 degrees on our back deck. Anyway for your entertainment...

Goldens are great dogs, my brothers dog would decide where to stop and fish. Good luck with Mannys surgery they’ve gotten pretty good with the techniques.

Gut wrenching beyond words, I pray you are finding some peace.

Thank you guys.
