375RugerNo1:
I think the book is well worth having, because it basically proves the concept and gets you thinking. I would not do everything the same as Ellis Brown, but clearly his methods work. Read it with an open mind, and an eye for doing some things better.

When I bought the book we were buying only about 50 US cents per Aussie dollar, so it cost me over a hundred bucks delivered. Food for thought! ...but I have never regretted buying it.

BTW, I hunt often with a .577 Light Nitro double built on a Greener 'Empire' shotgun action, as most long-time members here will know. Details of the double are found here. My views on the .577 Light Nitro chambering can be read here.

I didn't build the gun described. I bought it third hand but have met both previous owners. If I was commissioning it from scratch, it would be 2 inches longer with a lot more barrel taper and maybe a half-pound lighter.

This is a good opportunity to promote the maker of that gun, Rolph Bachnick, as I notice his advertisment in the latest 'Hammers Back' (Vintagers Down Under newsletter). Although I would have designed my conversion a little differently, I can't fault the workmanship.
