Thanks Nathan - looking fwd to your forthcoming one on reloading for double rifles. Forty-years ago, my old boss told me that his maternal grandad was a professional big game hunter in Africa. He converted to a double rifle after losing most of one leg to a Nile crocodile when his bolt-action jammed. He went back into professional game hunting and eventually retired otherwise intact. Many years later, said boss ended up as a ghillie in the Scottish Highlands.
Sounds like a couple of very interesting lives well lived 👍
Great vid nathan looking fprward to the sequel to this,rgds steve
Nice one Nathan.😁 I liked the way the shed frame rang like a bell after each shot!
Certainly had a nice tone to it.
Beautiful rifle and fantastic cartridge, and probably the most useful allrounder for double rifle cartridges.
Looks like you had one folding leaf raised on the rear sight as well. What distance is the fixed rear sight regulated for?
Thanks for sharing an interesting rifle at the range Nathan👍👍
Hey no worries. Regulated at 50m. The first leaf is a 50m sight. Same as the standing express V. 👍
@@FVR375 Good to know.
Many thanks👍
What a gorgeous rifle too mate. Will look great draped over a worthy bull.
Indeed it will mate. Two classics working together this year. The 450/400 and the 500 NE!
@ how long does 8 months take to roll past .??..?. 😩😩😩
Looks like I need one now 😱
Be rude not to 👌😉
Nice rifle mate, I’m planning to get a Winchester model 70 375 hnh and a 500 nitro express just got to decide what brand to get.
Thats a rifle battery that covers everything that walks on this planet
@ I did have to think wisely and those calibers rang to me.
I did consider a 416 rigby but unfortunately with the discontinuing of Sako 85 that really from what I’m aware only leaves the Rigby rifles in 416 available, there beautiful rifles but up in the $25000 plus.
So I’ve settled with 375 hnh and 500 nitro express as my choice, just got to choose what 500 nitro express to get.
@@colonelbeanbagsfishing I reckon that’s an excellent selection for a battery.
@@colonelbeanbagsfishingkeep us posted on what 500 NE you go with 👍🐃
@@FVR375 definitely will
Haha good old Bertram!
salt water croc hunt? thanks for sharing?
True test is unsupported simulation for the field
Says who! I use shooting sticks?
try the 460 jonh rigby cartriges a beauty will do volume around your 450 well tested in africa big hunting
Which one did you mean? I have a 416 Rigby. Also an excellent cartridge 👍
Bit wet everywhere in North QLD frankly!
Quite damp
