Grandpas 375 h&h! Found some info on it but having trouble finding a value on it. Any info is appreciated. It's a Whitworth express obviously 375 h&h in excellent shape. It has a black fib/syn stock which I Don't believe is original.

A second new Glock G-42, 380, I get it and the Taurus Spectrum 380 after the Shot Show.

It's not my fault they came out with two irresistible guns at the same time... I also handled the new ruger precision .22lr today.. It looks and handles awsome too.

Finally got my first 375 h&h mag today! Found some info on it but having trouble finding a value on it. Any info is appreciated. It's a Whitworth African express obviously 375 h&h in excellent shape. It has a black fib/syn stock which I Don't believe is original. I'm very happy with what I paid either way, just curious if they gave me a good or bad deal for future dealings.View attachment 423631

My information is sketchy to me and comes from my blue book of gun values, 2015 edition take it with a grain of salt. I could not locate the African model, but the 'Alaskan' is close .... It was discontinued in 1984 and came in 375 H&H and 458 Win. $450 to $650 range then, likely a little more now. As a point of interest, there were some other models with a synthetic stock from the factory. Originally Whitworth's were made in England and later Mark X models were made by Zastava in Yugoslzvia. I found info under Interarms.

Ordered a 2nd top plate for a C-more slide ride in case the delta point doesn't work for me.

Thankfully the SJC is a modular assembly.

Sighted in the new AR7-08 build yesterday. Me likey! Carbine buffer is 5/8" too long so bolt won't cycle properly. Will go to a rifle length buffer, spring and tube to resolve.

I can understand. This past weekend I was lighting up targets on our home range with the 6" .357 revolver and I couldn't help but think of my late uncle doing something similar on the Oregon dunes with his Dan Wesson. He's been gone since 1983 and that wacky character is still in my memory. As the old expression goes, sadly, the good die young. But, I digress.

And may their memories live long. I think about a few passed friends and relatives, every day.

"Suffice to say"....
Powder and bullets on sale at BiMart...

GOT SOME, BABY !! Wow, great pricing. Retumbo for $23/lb. Last I bought some, it was $30.

my travels over the weekend found me in a little town called Anaconda, Montana... they have an Antique shop there with what they claim is the largest selection of furs in the country... which I don't doubt.. I could have spent all day digging through the treasures, but alas all I walked out with was this...
With my crappy eye sight this will be a great addition to my gun bench... Way cool vintage magnifying lamp with a heavy weighted base. only $20

That is a beautiful find! I have one from the old Tektronix surplus store, mounts to my bench. I lament the day when the fluorescent tube doesn't work.

Why? I'd think you could scratch up $3.40 + shipping.

I was concerned about that too, but a quick google search proved they were still available... so I bought it with no worries
