Thank you so much for doing these videos. I have always loved bolt action rifles but when I watch you review these magnificent works of functional art and historical treasures it makes me realize just how little I know about what makes a rifle truly special. Thanks so much for sharing your great knowledge and appreciation, these videos are treasures to me since I probably won't ever be able to own or hunt with one. I have my CZ 550 American though! It's my own little 6.5x55SE treasure ;-) And good job Virginia! My daughter likes your hair color!

My 1952 Model 70 in 270 is NRA Fine.

Thank you for the review of Sako and especially your memories about the gun fairs and the history!

Virginia is gorgeous. I'd take the guns, because I already have a gorgeous lady. ☺️

I own 2 pre 64 Winchesters, that were left to me by my Dad, after he passed...a 270 and a 375 H+H magnum, both mfg in 1950 (according to Winchester collectors assn)...taken several deer with the 270, nothing yet with the 375...both of these guns mean the world to me, both very accurate!!

It would be interesting to learn what the difference is between the S04 and S05.

What's a 22 hornet worth?

I have one FN exactly the same!! I the caliber 9,3x62 Mauser. Excelente rifle!!

When you mentioned the extreme recoil fron NE cartridges vs 100 or so 12 guage shotgun shells, i assume its because the NE cartridges are burning much faster powders and accelerate those large heavy bullets much quicker than your average 12g shotgun can. Always been facinated with the double rifle concept in large heavy hitting cartridges. The ultimate in "stopping power". Here in Europe the 9.3mm cartridge is popular for shooting running boar, sometimes in a double rifle configuration.

Blah, blah, blah, blah

What scope mount did you use on your 470?

Roger thanks so much for your expert talk thoroughly enjoyed it… it was excellent 👍

This was a great video with one exception. The post 64 model 70 saved winchester from bankruptcy. The model 70 xtr was as ĥandsome as any pre 64 and were better then the model 700 rem I love the pre 64 winchester 70 ditto the post 64,and the early 90 s super grade that I have in 7 mag .my best rifle far and away is my 1st year production model 54 in 30 government 06.while the 70 had several upgrades over the 54,my 54 beats any of the 4 pre64 model 70s I have better than my 1903.better than my custom fn Mauser My lowly 54 handles like a light shotgun and will shoot a 165 gr Hornady interlock 5 shot group into a ragged hole at 100 yds.i don't shoot this rifle at targets anymore only game ,and I don't let anyone touch it. All winchesters are good some great rifles

Where to buy a sako…. Like trying to find a needle in…..

I had been under the mistaken impression that the Browning BLR was a unique lever action design. It has a rack & pinion mechanism, a detachable box magazine, and the bolt lugs engage with the rear of the barrel. However, it was introduced in 1967 or 1968. Clearly the BLR took its inspiration from the Sako Finnwolf. I am not knocking the BLR in any way. I own one in .308 Winchester, and it is an excellent rifle. Looking at the parts diagrams, the BLR mechanism appears to have fewer parts and be more robust. The underside of the bolt itself is the rack, and there is a single pinion. That said, I would dearly love to find a Sako Finnwolf in good operating condition.

Finnwolf are so hard to find in great condition…get ready to pay high money for a great one…..

Tengo un modelo 54 y tres modelo 70...accion pre_64.....les he cambiado cañón porque fueron de mi papá. Y el uso los dejó un poco desgastados...... Soy armero y hago todo tipo de trabajos en armas de fuego

Given the choice between the 450NE and the 470NE I’d take the 450 any day. Only when the 45 calibre get banned in the British empire did the invented of the 470NE come up with the his replacement and he didn’t patent the round so it became very popular. It’s essentially the same as the 450NE but because it’s a .475 calibre and not a .458 calibre it has lower sectional density. The first shot on an elephant or Cape buffalo will be fine but when it turns and you have to try and get solids through to it’s vitals from the rear end you have much less penetration with the 470.

Some people collect fine art others cars but precision firearms and those with fine grained walnut are my Rembrandt or Maserati.

Beautiful rifle

Great video Sir, It is amazing how fast the trades went from muzzle loader, to pin fire, center fire. Then along with that was the advancement of the actions. I have two Westleys, one a 1863 16b ML made for a British MP, the other a 12b bar in wood hammer gun. I load 2-1/2" shells for skeet and it's a joy to shoot. No under bites only the dolls head bite.

As a teenager I dreamed of one day owning a Steyr Mannlicher Schoenauer Carbine. A month ago at age 57 I walked into a local gun store and hanging on the wall looking like the Holy Grail was a pristine 1961 MCA Carbine in 30/06 with single trigger complete with original factory sling. Installed was a set of Redfield scope mounts with a perfect Weaver K4-60b scope with Post and crosshair reticle. I am now a happy man.

May I ask you how to disassemble the bolt? I have a Browning High Power Safari 30-06.

Anyone know what a pre 64 m70 is worth

Poor quality video

So is a 1947 considered pre war or a transition model 70?

👍🏻🇺🇸

6.5 x 57 was an amazing cartridge. My brother has a 1903-A3 Springfield chambered in 6.5 x 57. she's a woodchuck slayer. Dad used to handled 257 Roberts brass blown out to 6.5. We couldn't find 6.5 x 57 brass.

Espectacular Rifle un lujo de arma !!!!!

It's been three years since Roger Rule has posted a video. Is he okay or did he pass away?

Did you put the recoil pad on it?? That could really hurt the value. It is a beautiful gun.

Thank you so much for producing such an excellent review of this amazing double rifle. I have recently read "Hunter" by J.A. Hunter and "White Hunters" by Brian Herne and am currently reading Lt. Col Peterson's "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo". So I've been dreaming of the lost golden age of African hunting and the ubiquitous double rifles so loved and relied upon by almost all of the great white hunters a lot lately. This rifle looks like it would be equally comfortable in the richest museum or in the sweaty hands of a grizzled PH stalking the brush with a dangerous animal laying in ambush ready to launch a final, desperate attack. I'm going to also watch episode 4 which you referred to and I have really been enjoying your bolt gun presentations immensely as well. I currently own, handload for and hunt with a CZ 550 American in 6.5x55 SE so I have come to appreciate a good bolt gun, although I'm greatly humbled by your tremendous knowledge and genuine love for these most special firearms. You, sir, are a great credit to both our sport and our passion. I wish I could find the right words to convey my profound thanks for this video series. And thanks to Virginia, too, for helping make the videos so engaging!

I recently became the proud owner of a 1955 Super in 12 ga. I never thought i would ever get to own a Superposed. This has been a dream come true for me. Now to just find the right 20 ga. Superposed. Thank you Roger and Virginia.

I have a 1903 Mannlicher Shoenauer carbine in 6.5 x 54,I load my own ammo for it and use a 160gn.Hornaday round nosed bullet so the gun feeds like its on roller bearings,thank you for showing us your fine rifle and I can tell you are as proud of your gun as I am of mine! I also have a really nice 8mm x56 MS that is also a work of art.Thank you again its nice to see someone who appreciates quality made firearms.

कितने मिटर दूर जाती है ये राईफल कितने बोर लिवर है

Thank you. Good video.

Thank you. I will have to finally order a copy of that book i.e., get the gorse out of my pockets.

Fun with flags 😂 beautiful rifles though😊

Thank you for an excellent video.

Looking for info on a early, what I believe to be, 1923/24 Abercrombie & Fitch #137- 30-06. Supposedly owned by one of the "4 great white hunters" whom assisted in the production of the 1931 MGM movie - Trader Horn. It does possess many indicators of a Griffin and/or G&H. Existing G&H records apparently begin in 1930, so no help there. If you could steer me to a resource ? Would love to share pics in order to learn more. Thank you in advance for your time.

Sir I want gun

We used these as sniper rifles in the army and the corps.

Beautiful firearms, very well made.

I have my grandfather's Browning Superposed. It has a serial number of 11989. It is a twelve guage shotgun.

There’s only one special gun pre 64 model 70 the rest are a joke

👍🏻

Nice video Roger but 18.4 is the barrel inside diameter in millimeter’s. I used to shoot an Mt6 trap and now shoot an Mx8 trap and a High Tech sporting clays gun, you can’t do better than Perazzi!

Thank you.

I have a 1957 Marlin 336 with the G&H side mount. The quality was impeccable. These were the types of side mounts hunters wanted on their hunting rifles.
