My .450 Rigby rifle, build on a Vektor double square bridge Mauser maungum copy, had some feeding problems in the past, mostly due to the initial gunsmith doing a sh$#@tty job. When I then started using FN bullets (GS Custom), and seated them out fairly long, I had this problem more often than not- especially the 1st shot out of the magazine. My friend Gerrie Coetzee, the gunsmith, not the boxer, took the rifle underhand and fixed the feeding. Have a look at the video and tell me if you think the feeding is OK now...

Nice Karl,
and if that's you in the video, you handle recoil very well .... even if you are shooting a 10 year old american carttridge!!

I've been waiting a while for an update, but it's not on an urgent matter.
quality takes time.

Jeffeosso, yes thats me in the video
So much for short stroking a longer bolt...

Hi Greggus,
You sent me two e-mails and I replied to both. Is there something I am missing?

Gerard
I'll private msg you

I didnt want this to appear negative, I have not heard anything bad about your products, i was just waiting for a response from an email i sent a while ago.

I hope my comment didnt offend.
If it did, i appologise!

No offense taken, we have had some mishaps this year with our e-mail PC getting fried and a laptop being dropped down the steps at the factory. We have also realised that some mail never make it to destination. Our service provider denies this but we have had mails that were undelivered and not returned either and we have received phone calls from customers who have sent mail that we did not recieve. It seems that over enthusiastic spam filters often discard stuff that should be sent on. I actually put a note on the contact section of our site to resend mail if a reply is not forthcoming in reasonable time. If anyone is waiting for mail from me, please send your mail again and I will reply. I try to clear mail at least within a week.
