Shootaway,
The gripcap was my design for the first one of these that LeRoy built and which I've posted above. Mine has a buffalo and UEG's is a rhino.
I don't know what you mean by "hard engraving," but I do have an idea, why don't you post some photos of some of your guns and UEG and I will reply with pissy comments about them!

Beautiful rifle, Vaughn, good luck with her in Africa! And remember to tell our buddy hello for me when you see him!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Please go away if you do not have anything nice to say.

Ruger is the best, strongest made factory action made today. George Hallomore, author of Chui and In the Salt with 40 years of PH'ing under his belt says that the Ruger is his number one pick. As did two of the PH's I hunted with last year.

Rain on someone else's parade.


The two books you mentioed were written by Lou Hallamore not George Hallamore. George is one of Lou's two PH sons. George uses a Ruger 416 and wields it well. Lou uses a 470 English double and a 458 Win Ruger M-77 with tang safety. But that doesn't mean that shootaway shouldn't go away. You were right on that.

I stand corrected, thanks. Either way - the Hallomore's know their stuff....

Didn't Buzz Charlton carry an M77 in .416 Rigby for a while? Some of you who've hunted with him would know.

I have to say that is one of the most tastefully done rifles I've seen. Just enough embellishment to make it special. Not over teh top at all. Great job to all involved.

Would it be rude of me to ask how much the damage was? PM me if you would prefer. It is very nicely done and I am sure you will enjoy it for many years. IT is a fine blend of a working rifle and a piece of art.

Fivebigbores - is the 510 Wells a 505 Gibbs bored out to .510 caliber?

Fivebigbores, that's a nice gun. I'd love to shoot it. I wonder how it'd be with the muzzle break off?

I'm not a fan of the muzzle breaks either. I had a BOSS on a 270 Win Browning A-bolt and the one antelope I shot with it left my ears ringing for a week. I took it off and put the CR on it and haven't had a rifle with one since.
