    416 Rigby M98 and Scope

    Need you pocket change... I'm looking at a M98 416 Rigby used rifle that has been re-barreled. The action has the peep sight and flag safety. I'm asking if there is a sure way to add to/modify the action for pivot or QD scope mounts? I'm told that whatever I may get done to the action, such...

    Duck Boats

    I'm a sink box hunter looking for a duck boat that will allow me to shoot diver ducks on shallow shoals. The Sink Box (SB) needs 4'-6'' of water and is a killer to move around. However the SB places your head less than a foot above water while sitting and the birds really don't catch on until...

    Ducks in Argentina

    Hello, I have been looking at a possible dove duck combo hunt in Argentina. The dove are a pest and the duck are plentyful because they are not really hunted there. They limit your daily duck bag to 50 birds per gun that can be extended a little if you shoot on one of the guide's tag. Have...

    The 16 Gauge

    Have any of you ever shot with the sweet sixteen? As a young boy, I learned to shoot grouse with the 16 and after my years in school and back to the field, a good 15 years later, the 16 was dead. I love a 20 in the field and shoot a 12 with alternative shot for waterfowl....A 16 would be sweet...

    Pigeon Shooting in Farm Fields

    I have been shooting some pigeons for a few farmers that hate the birds because they <removed> all over the machinery and because of the coccidiosys they spread to the livestock. I use a roto duck and some flocked decoys to start and then spread the dead birds around. I was recently...

    Prairie Dogs to Hone Shooting Skills

    I'd like to get some prairie dog shooting done to hone long range shooting skills. My idea is to get comfortable within 500yds to bring this confidence to the mountains for elk, mule deer and possibly a goat. This will be done this fall with a 300WM Kimber 8400 delivering sub MOA from the bench...

    Short Story: My first Moose

    I've just had the privilege to have a great hunt with a fellow from Idaho. Mike was paired with me for a great week of hunting in Northern BC. He was after a mature bull and I, as a first timer on moose, just wanted some meat. We had a barrel of laughs and with the guide during that memorable...

    Hawkeye Stainless Laminated Sporter 300WM Accuracy

    I've just completed a great Moose hunt in Northern BC with my Ruger M77 II in the 416 Rigby. Didn't need all that gun, but it did just fine. With TBBCs it gives me MOA accuracy. I'm now looking at Ruger's Hawkeye in a 300WM. I don't reload so I would try out different brands of ammo to find the...

    Trophy Bonded Bear Claw Minimum Upset Velocity

    I'm thinking of using the TBBCs on a Grizz/Moose hunt. The Bear would be shot at less than 100yds but the Moose may be as far as 200yds. At 100 yds the 416 round velocity is about 2050fps and at 200yds about 1850fps. What is the threshold velocity for a good expansion for this bullet?

    Grizzly-Moose-Deer; 30-06 or 416 or both?

    This subject may have already been debated to death. But here it goes again. I have an opportunity to go for a combo grizzly-moose-deer hunt in Northern BC. I have two rifles; a 30-06 sporter and a 416 Rigby. By choice I'd bring both, but weight restrictions in the last flight leg suggest I...

    Cooling the barrel during scope sighting-in

    Is there any harm in using ice pack or bags of ice to cool the barrel in hot weather to reduce the waiting time between shots when sighting in a rifle? The barrel is on a Steyr Mannlicher short stock. It also has a torsade shape from the manufacturing. Your advice or recommendation is valued.

    Ammo availability 404 jeffery 416 Rem 416 Rigby

    I do not reload, however it may end up being the way to go. I'm looking at 3 different calibers for a dangerous game hunt. They are the 404 Jeffery (a .423'' bore) and the .416s in Remington and Rigby. My choice of heart is the Jeffery. The logical choice may be otherwise. In the eyes of a...
