    9.3x62 vs .375 h&h

    I have hunted big game with 9.3x62, 375 H&H, 375 Ruger and a few of the larger cartridges. The 9.3x62 is my least favorite of them for heavy game. There is a large internet group of supporters of the 9.3x62 and it is common in the German areas of Africa and Europe. It seems like every farm in...

    Rebarreling a Remington 700

    Sending it to an outfit like Douglas is a good solution for having a hunting barrel fitted to your action. Much better than a standard factory barrel, quick turnaround, and good price. I have their barrels on a few hunting rifles and am very pleased.

    New Remington Production Quality

    Making reference to someone who has committed no crime as "A crook . . ." somehow does not seem to fit into the mold of someone taking the High Road. Stating these negative, and frankly uninformed, opinions as some sort of factual information constantly is tiresome. You are better than that...

    New Remington Production Quality

    It is a shame that there are still people who seem to claim to know what was said in the boardrooms and lawyers' offices and are using their keyboard to trash Remington and people that they have never met. Our firm has been involved in bankruptcy actions and there is a great deal that outsiders...

    Early Kimber Montana issues?

    Some fellows love the Montana, other certainly do not. Mine needed some work done to it to make into an acceptable (barely) deer rifle. I guess they shoot better on internet forums than on the range.

    The Best .22 Sporter Rifles For Hunting Squirrels

    If the weather is nice I like to take my Remington 541 T, otherwise it is a 10-22. Both have the same model of 3x9 scope on top, and a silencer screwed onto the barrel. On rare occasions the choice is a Ruger Mk 4.

    Rifle Recommendation for Teen

    The rifle and scope combo is probably not the perfect answer, but it is plenty good enough. The price is reasonable, maybe even a bargain. It would work just fine. Although it is not my favorite all time hunting cartridge, the 6.5 Cm does many things well, is quite popular with new...

    Rifle Recommendation for Teen

    It is easy to find a cartridge that will suit the requirements. The .270 is an all-around hunting excellent cartridge. Although it is not as popular with young buyers as some others, it is fairly easy to find ammunition and reloading components. The new Rem Arms 700 is a good choice. I...

    My everything rifle build, Tikka 375 ruger all weather

    I settled on the 250 grain Sierra Gameking for use in North America with my 375 Ruger. I do like the 260 Nosler bullets for African plains game, and a heavier mono-metal pill for the big game. I have tried quite a few powders and my 375 Ruger loads all seem to work best at a bit below the...

    Kimber or weatherby

    My Montana had it's share of problems when it was new, but a bit of work fixed most of it. It is certainly not the most accurate rifle I have used, but it is pretty.

    What hunts should I be planning now for me and my son?

    I sure hope that your tag can be had with 5 points. I keep hearing that we might have a large spike in the points needed for a general tag due to all of the chatter surrounding the price increases and threatened quota reductions. It seems that many guys are getting ready to cash in their...

    What hunts should I be planning now for me and my son?

    With the current point creep it takes more points to draw a good area in Wyoming or Colorado than some posters obviously want to believe. Areas that used to take one point now often take five or more, and the old three point areas now are commonly eight to ten points. The proposed license fee...

    Contemplating Rifle build, caliber?

    I shoot benchrest. When I started, many moons ago, everybody shot either 222 or 222 Mag. I have not seen anything smaller than 6 mm on the line for a very long time. The 6 PPC is the king of the hill, but sometimes you will see a 6 BR being used. The fellows that win usually (almost always)...

    Rebarreling 10/22

    Replacing the barrel on a 10-22 is a 10 minute job that requires very few tools and very little thinking. The barrel is held in place by a block which is attached by two screws. You do not need a gunsmith.

    Is my Man Card in Jeopardy? .375 H&H Mag is too much for me

    I have three different loads that I commonly use for my 375 H&H. One uses a 250 grain bullet at moderate speeds for use in the USA (range and game load), one is a medium load with 270 grain bullets that is used for plains game in Africa, and the third is a full house load with 300 grain pills...

    So what happened to the pump rifle?

    The pump deer rifle (aka Remington 760/7600) is still fairly popular with older hunters in many Eastern states, and extremely popular with all ages in Pennsylvania.

    Accuracy tall tales..,

    Yes. I don't know if it can be seen properly, but the picture above my username is of a Ranger coffee cup. It was all long ago and far away.

    Accuracy tall tales..,

    The slug, or washer with paper in the center, was thrown straight up in the air above the shooter and it was surprising how easy it was to hit it with the air rifle. It was not unusual to hit the center of the washer and knock the paper out. It was just an exercise to get us to trust our...

    Ruger M77 Hawkeye - QQ Major issues

    I am not a fan boy of Ruger (or any other company), but I have a few Ruger M77 rifles and they are really quite good hunting rifles. Certainly there are better target rifle manufacturers, there are companies that sell rifles with a nicer fit and finish, but Ruger has a fine reputation for...

    Ruger M77 Hawkeye - QQ Major issues

    Good luck, and I hope you get your money back. Next time do a bit of research before buying. Product bashing is tiring.
