A little abrupt in the comb nose and pistol grip, but VERY NICE.
Happy New Year!
AK weather here, Bright & sunny, 8" snow, 11 degrees and blowing 35 mph... It made it to 35 yesterday, with rain on the ice, first day above freezing for some time.

I had a friend who used to describe the weather by caliber. The nicest spring days with lots of sunshine and little wind were "28-30 days". If it was a bit windier, but still nice days to be outside, they were "32-40 days". Here on the left coast, today might be a 32-40 or 38-55 day, wind about 15, temp about 50 and some sunshine. We can see snow on the hills and smell it. That's close enough.
What will you use for bullets?

What will you use for bullets? The 405-Winchester, .400-Whelen and the .400-Niedner all use the same .411" diameter bullet. There is a wide range of them available today from over the counter Hornady to $1 each North Fork.

The Springfield comes in at 8lbs 9oz and the Mauser at 9lbs 1oz, that's going to hurt

Michael,
First off that is a great find and as to pad if a Medium pad will work they make the Pachmayer Decelerator 1" in red and I believe it would look wonderful.
Happy New Years all

Anyone know where there is any Hornady Brass 375 Ruger Basic Box of 50 Manufacturer # 8674.
Everyone seems to be out of it at this time.
This is the same as the Newton brass and will work fine for the .400 Niedner.
I have some .375 H&H that I fire-formed (above the belt) but would like to get some of the straight walled basic Ruger brass.

I like the kick eez (sp?) Pad for function. Not the prettiest thing ever, but they work really well.

That's the one. They are a little spendy, but worth it for a lively gun.
