For the passed several years, whenever I bought a new scope, it's been a Leupold. They have clear optics, are tough, lightweight and good looking, and have a great warranty.

My lightest big game rifle is a customized M98 Mauser FR8 in .308 with a Leupold 1.75-6 (discontinued short model). The rifle features an 18 inch step barrel and weighs 6.5 lbs with scope.

All four guns you own are perfectly adequate for taking deer. The reason I would keep the .308 is to own another excellent caliber in another excellent rifle (BLR). As far as I'm concerned, you can't have enough guns.

Price, clarity, eye relief, size, weight and looks, are all important considerations. A couple of other things to consider are durability and warranty. How well does the Conquest holds up under recoil over a long period of time? I don't know what cartridge your Sako is chambered in, but even a...

I agree with Grey Morel's reply. The best thing to do is handle each rifle type and decide from there. All the available .375's are good, but you will probably find that one feels better in your hands than the rest.

Does anyone know for sure if it's safe to fire a rifle with a prominent barrel bulge?

I believe that in the old days when game was much more plentiful, hunters often used lesser-powered cartridges than one would use today. They had more opportunities at bagging game, so could afford to miss out on some. A 30-06 will surely put down both lion and rhino with the right bullet and...

Consider yourself lucky to have access to such beautiful hunting country. Thanks for sharing the hunt with us.

I seriously doubt that they would chase you down and spray you. Have you thought about using an air rifle as apposed to an air pistol. There are rifles available that should have enough power to dispatch a skunk.

I use Remington Yellow Jacket ammunition and sight-in for 75 yards. For me it works great for both hunting and target shooting/plinking.

Either the chamber or muzzle type laser boresighters work equally well. Laserlyte's Kryptonite green laser boresighter is more easily seen in bright light and at longer ranges, like 100 yards, than the standard red laser boresighters. Generally though, boresighting can be done at about 25 yards...

I suspect you would have to limit your loads to Springfield pressures. To be sure, you can e-mail the company. One time I had inquired about pressure limits for their Kodiak double rifles and got a quick response.

I would buy a Ruger in .375 Ruger and mount a Leupold VX-3 1.5-5 scope on it and go brown bear hunting.

I have also had excellent results with H335, AA2230 and BLC(2).

Excellent video footage. Thanks for bringing it to us. I agree with everything you have posted here except who saved the day in this video. It looks to me like the elephant was already going down before the client's second shot was fired. You can see how the front legs were spread as the animal...

I wouldn't go with just one ring. That wouldn't be secure enough. B-Square make extension rings for .22s with grooved receivers that provide 3/4 inch of extension.

I also agree that the .30-30 in sufficient for black bear, especially with the 170 gr bullets. Shot placement is the most important factor for a quick kill, followed by bullet weight and bullet construction.

I also have a keen interest in .50 caliber hunting cartridges. Personally I would choose the .500 Jeffery because the case capacity is less. Theoretically, it should have less recoil when loaded to the same level as the .505 Gibbs. The con is that the rim is rebated, which could lead to feeding...

The Laserlyte Deluxe Laser Boresighter Kit is a reasonably priced option. It will work with any rifle from .22 to .50 caliber and also 12 and 20 gauge shotguns. It can also be used to get the scope reticle level with the gun.

One method is to find a natural food source that they are feeding on, then silently still hunt through the area with the wind in your face. Black bears commonly feed on acorns, beach nuts, apples and berries. You may also try a predator call. If using this method, be careful. The bear will...
