Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Can We All Stop Calling it the ".275 Rigby"?

That’s a laugher since Hornady sells cases headstamped 275 Rigby. 🤣🤣🤣

Sure. I think it should be called a .300 Ouch & Ouch.

What is the mfg date of your rifle ? 300 WinMag was introduced in 1963. But you already knew that. Looks like a nice rifle.

It's hard to argue with that.

1949 Model 70 Super Grade.

Ergo .300 Magnum (when there were no other .30 Magnums) = Super Thirty (H&H's original name) = .300 H&H Magnum take your choice.

These days hardly a magnum - a .30-06 plus a couple hundred FPS so nice to shoot.

I do like my Rem 721, it's stamped 300 H&H Mag.

Classic Panache

I have 275 Rigby, but the barrel is stamped 7 x 57, and a Springfield that is
marked 30-06 , I think that is more interesting and "Safari" like.

Like this?

Or like this... .

......... or like this one.

Yup!

Those are nice rifles and a bit hard to find in unmolested condition.

Mine came to me with a BDL stock (with checkering) but is not marked BDL beside the Model 721 marking on the receiver which was the norm. Might have been a factory boo boo.

Mine is marked just like yours. Other than a Decelerator pad, missing rear sight, and an extra sling stud hole in the forend it's in very nice condition.

This thread has shown me that evidently my life has a lot less stress, than evidently other folks have in theirs....

I don't know about others... but as long as I have the case, that goes in the rifle I have in that caliber, then I am fine...

I only have to worry about not confusing me.... everyone else can take care of their own CRAP, they are stressing over needlessly...

I think I'll go out in the gare-age, and load some 275 Rigby for my 7mm Mauser Winchester Model 70... then do some more for the Ruger 7 x 57.

I hope I don't put the wrong ammo, in one of those rifles...

Semper Fi

FJB on the jackass he rode in on.


how about Screw the Jackass, that rode in on Joe Biden?

( that would KamaLamaDingDong Harris, in case ya didn't know),,,,


Addendum....

in regards to the 300 H & H.... I think the coolest looking round I've ever seen or admired, was the 300 H & H, in Nickel Coated Bras.. with a 220 grain Hornady Round Nose bullet.... Talk about Old School Cool... doesn't get any better than that one...

That reminds me, I've got to get some .30 Army ammo loaded.

But he still hasta get a prostate exam each year.

It's funny, but I can't remember the last time I had one. Dad had prostate cancer when he died, so they take a PSA reading every once in a while mine came back last week: 0.74 ng/mL. Above 1.0 you have to have somebody else name your deer rifles.

They were watching Dad's PSA for decades. Finally, just as he turned 75, the doc told him it had slipped up over the line.

"I've got bad news for you, Ralph," said the doc. "You've got prostate cancer, and you're starting to have Alzheimer's."

"Gee doc," replied my dad, without so much as a blink, "I thought you were going to tell this was bad news-- like I had cancer or something."

Mom was there in the room. She confirmed the story. Dad still had his Comic chops at 75.

It turned out he didn't have Alzheimer's. The doc had proscribed a low dose of Valium so Dad could get to sleep better. The next doc weaned him off it, and he was fine. The prostate cancer was treated with a little insert they stuck in his forearm that leaked Estrogen into his system. He'd go in every 6 months and have it replaced.

Funny, but those Estrogen inserts came out about the same time the 6.5 Creedmore became popular. I wonder if there is a connection.

I had two of those inserts over the course of 1 year as part of the treatment for my prostate cancer.

Those things mess you up. I started having hot flashes and mood swings along with all the old buzzards in church who were going through "the change", not to mention ZERO sex drive.

I'd did sell off my magnums and medium bores after that and had a 6CM built. Hmmmm, I wonder if ........
