gumboot458If ,, I can get my IRS problem solved ,,And everything else goes well !!!!A double, Probably a Kriegoff , But the options are still in the air....Caliber ,,, probably 470 nitro,,, But that is still in the air.........It will probably be new ... Never fired other than regulateing........ Mayby a 9.3x62 on a 17 Enfield with the ears still on!!! Mayby,probably ,a 458 AR on my spruceking rifle...........The 358 STA is probably a year away ... The 458 AR is a priority as I want to get it finished fully........It was never set up correctly ,,,,,,The Dumsmith put screw on ,elcheapo iron sights on it that rusted and broke......I was relly looking fwd to the Ruger 375 but was ui to not see a 2nd recoil lug under the barrel.......See how many stocks break in 12 months... I guess they Almost got it right...Mayby the Alaskan will have it on....And a 460 Whby on my 458 lott..........The 458 AR # 1,,,The 460 # 2
.If it can,t be grown , its gotta be mined ....

prof242Well, Boom Stick, thanks to you (damn yer hide) I'm planning on a .395, but also have a Ruger .375 on order with a wholesaler.
Have a great year...and my son is asking me if I'd like to buy this .458 barrel a friend of his is selling.

Tyler Kemp7 mag, useless? I think not, at least to this teenager.

Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

CanuckI am hopin for a new elk rifle in 375 Ruger. I'm not sure if it is doable in one year in Canada though. Whether its bought or 'smithed I may have to wait awhile.
I like RIPs idea of the Ruger Hawkeye African model with a backup HS Precision stock....
Happy new year to all!
