Hi all, I just placed a preorder on the newly released Grizzly Coolers 450 quart model. I was looking at their 400 quart cooler after my Nilgai hunt last year, my buddy and I borrowed a homemade cooler for elk hunts. We contemplated building our own, but I stumbled across this company. This size...

Hi all, I have a bit of an odd question and would like everyone’s thoughts/opinions. On a recent Nilgai hunt, I took a very nice boar that I’m having euro mounted. In the course of that hunt, I found and collected a sun bleached boar skull with an impressive set of lower tusks. My question is...

Hi everyone, it's been a minute since I've posted on here. I'm just returning home from the King Ranch for a Nilgai hunt. This has a bit of a story to it. For starters, last year was a very chaotic year with the loss of two very important family members, estate business, and all of that fun...

Hello all, I’m condensing down my ammo room and I have some 9.3x74r ammo I would like to sell or possibly trade. I have 1 full box and one 10 round box of the Norma 286gr loading (10 pieces of fired brass included). 1 full box of the Norma 232gr loading. And one box of 10 rounds of the federal...

Up for sale is a trijicon accupoint 4-16x50mm with the green MOA dot reticle. It also comes with a set of Warne horizontal split rings (high). It also comes with box, bungee lense cover, and manual.

I’m posting my CZ 550 safari classic in 450 Rigby for sale. It has AHR’s #2 upgrade package along with a mercury recoil reduced installed in the stock. I will attach the invoice from AHR to denote the upgrades. I have about a box of shells through the rifle and it runs smooth as silk, Wayne did...

Hi all, I apologize if this has been asked before but I haven’t come across a specific thread that I can recall. I’m looking at buying a good pair of binoculars for all around hunting. I predominantly hunt whitetail deer in NW Pennsylvania and have a compact pair of Leupold 8x binos that are...

Hi everyone, I just picked up a trijicon accupoint 4-16x50mm for a great deal. A little background on my thought process and question. I have a Remington 700 AWR in 300 Ultra Mag that has been an outstanding rifle and exceptionally accurate. I put a sig whiskey 3 4-12x50 on it and it’s been a...

Well I just had a much anticipated delivery from fedex in a long cardboard box! I got my cz 550 safari classic in 450 rigby back from Wayne at AHR for his #2 upgrade package. I am absolutely blown away by his work. The finish he applied is flawless and looks tough as nails. I had him cut the...

This post isn’t meant to look for or garner any sympathy, actually as I write this I am full of optimism and excitement. I also want to use this post to express my deep gratitude for this forum and all the wonderful folks on here. On September 9th i’ll be having surgery that I hope will knock...

Hi all, a few months ago I purchased a brand new cz 550 safari classic in 450 Rigby. Today was my first opportunity to get it out to the range. I load up some hornady DXG shells, take careful aim at 25 yards, squeeze the trigger and click. No bang. I inspect the cartridge after a 30 second wait...

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding possible sight replacements/upgrades for the current production Winchester m70 safari express rifles. I have an m70 in 416 rem mag and I love the rifle dearly, it is very accurate and wears a scope 95% of the time but i was curious if there were any iron...

Hello all, I just wanted to post a brief range report after my first outing with my Remington 700 American Wilderness Rifle in 300 Ultra Mag. I got this rifle a while ago and when I was debating on buying it I had nagging concerns regarding Remington's quality control as of late. I went out on a...

Hello everyone, I'm looking to sell a brand new in box ruger m77 Hawkeye African in 375 ruger. I got this rifle on a whim but I already have rifles that fill it's role. I don't have the best lighting but the rifle is immaculate. It comes with the removable muzzle brake/weight/thread protector...

Hi everyone, after saving my pennies I'm looking to get into my first double rifle which has been a long time dream of mine. I know this very question has been asked hundreds of times already, but I'm kind of stuck on which way to go. I have decided on 470 n.e. and ejectors are really what I...

Hello everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has experience with this relatively new scope? I like the features on the scope from what I've seen. I'm looking to put a 1-4, 5, or 6x scope on my Cz 550 fs in 9.3x62. I really like the circle dot type reticles for fast target acquisition. I've...

Hello everyone, I am doing a little preliminary review on the sako brown bear I just picked up. It's in 500 Jeffery. I am very impressed with the quality of the rifle, fit and finish is what I would expect from sako which is fantastic. The rifle points like a dream and I love the express...

Hello everyone, I realize I'm probably beating a dead horse with this question but I hope not too much. My question is regarding the Sabatti big bore express over under double rifle specifically in 470 nitro express (ejector model). My question is regarding the accoutrements on the rifle. Anyone...

Hello all, I also am looking to sell my weatherby vanguard S2 in 257 weatherby magnum. It is topped with a Leupold vx-3 4.5-14x with the CDS dial system with an adjustable objective for parallax. I had one dial made for the 115gr nosler ballistic tips, it shoots sub-moa with those. The rifle is...

After my previous post debating between a m70 or a browning, I ended up deciding on the the Winchester and am very pleased!! I went with the M70 ultimate shadow in 325 wsm. The quality of the rifle is extremely impressive! The bolt is smooth as silk and the trigger, albeit slightly heavy, has no...

Hi everyone, I was looking around online and stumbled upon some new cz 550 fs in 9.3x62. I haven't seen these produced and out in circulation for a while so I jumped on it. I've been shooting my ruger no.1 in 9.3x74r a lot lately and have really grown to love the 9.3 caliber. Now I'm looking for...

Hi everyone, I've decided to sell my ruger guide gun in 416 ruger. The gun is in great shape and is an excellent shooter, I'm just looking for funds to start another gun project. I did have to send the gun to ruger as soon as I got it because it had feeding issues but has since fed and fired...

Hi everyone, I think in February I am going to send off my cz 550 in 458 Lott off to the folks at American hunting rifles to do their number 2 upgrade. I think I will order their qd holographic sight base as well. I will ask about having them cut the barrel back to about 23 inches, what are your...

Hello everyone, I haven't been on the forum as much as I would like to lately, life has been getting busy. I just wanted to post a quick gun update. I posted a topic about taking my ruger no.1 deer hunting this year and had no luck, so that was a bust. On the bright side my uncle who is a part...

I absolutely love my ruger number 1 in 9.3x74r! The more I shoot it the more I like it. It's shooting better and better every time I take it out. I was having some issues with shooting standard rifle targets and getting consistent groups. I put a leupold vx-r 2-7 on it and on 7x the crosshairs...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to post about a new rifle with a very special story with it. Recently my grandfather passed away very unexpectedly and he was a gun enthusiast. We talked about hunting in africa now and then, he knew that it has been a dream of mine for quite some time. After he...

I finally got my ruger no.1 in 9.3x74r sighted in, I really love the rifle and the scope, the leupold vx-r 2-7 is crystal clear and the illuminated reticle is wonderful to use. I was able to get some fairly decent groups with my eyes. I was having some difficulty since the crosshairs were...

I made a quick impromptu range trip today with my cz 550 In 375 h&h to check my zero with my 300 grain federal tbbc's, they always shot right around +/- one moa and all of a sudden it is shooting two feet to the right and I tried adjusting the scope roughly 1.5 feet, and it put the bullet in...

I finally got a chance to take my guide gun in 416 ruger out and get it sighted in with the Leupold vx-hog scope 1-4x20. Im very happy thus far with the groups i got, i was firing 3 round groups and 25 yards and moved out to 100 yards, here are the best groups of the afternoon. The first group...

Hello everyone, first off, my apologies, I feel like a pain that I keep asking these types of questions constantly but you guys have more info than I ever will know haha. My boss is a gun enthusiast but not a hunter or big bore enthusiast like I am and he has 2 rifles he is willing to sell me...

I just wanted to take a minute to give a big shout out and thumbs up to the folks at Alaska arms llc, I purchased a pair of their quick detach scope rings for my ruger guide gun in 416 ruger through Brownells.com. Brownells shipped me two of the same height rings and as most of you know the...

I was perusing this forum the other day and noticed there weren't a lot of postings about hunting Africa with Weatherby rifles. I have a Vanguard s2 in 257 weatherby magnum and enjoy shooting it a lot. I've been kicking around getting one in 338 win mag as well, granted instead of buying...

I was finally able to get out to the range today to shoot my guide gun since getting it back from Ruger for repairs. I like the gun a lot and need to adjust the rear sight for windage slightly, it's shooting about 1.5-2 inches to the left. most of my shooting was done at around 25 yards with a...

Well after waiting to get my 416 ruger guide gun and ammunition in it looks like i may be sending it back to ruger. When i try to chamber the 1st and 3rd round (rounds coming out of the right side of the magazine), as the round is making its way out of the magazine it kicks to the left and...

Hi everyone, I had posted on here recently about scoping my cz 550 in 375 h&h and i was finally able to get to the range and get it sighted in. I also got some more trigger time in with my 550 in 458 lott as well. It took a few rounds to get it sighted in properly but the leupold vx-3 1.5-5x20...

Hi everyone, I found a pretty good deal on a Ruger American in 30-06 and am going to be picking it up in a couple weeks. I've been hearing pretty good things about them and found one for a good price so I said what the heck. I definitely will use it for whitetail deer and some other north...

I'm looking at ordering a Leupold VX-3 1.5-5x20 scope for my cz 550 in 375h&h. I'm mounting it with warne 1" medium height qd rings. I've heard some folks having trouble with some other scopes being too short to fit in the rings. I want to make sure everything will work before i order the...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to pick your brains once again to help me decide on a caliber. I'm looking at 2 different ruger no. 1's. one is chambered in 450/400 nitro express and the other is in 9.3x74r. I have owned a no.1 in 450/400 before and enjoyed it, the only downside is cost of ammo. The...
