    QR Scope mounts

    I have Leupold QR rings on my 30-06 and 375 H&H. Both have been to Africa twice. I am well pleased with them and would not hesitate to put them on another rifle. I have used Talley rings also and they are well made, too. No flies on them either.

    30-06 vs 300 Win Mag

    Plains game hunt used an 06 with 180g Swift A-frames. Excellent performance. Buff hunt used 375 H&H, 300g Swift A-frames. Excellent performance. Velo Dog is right. Also, If you have to take a shot over 300 yards, you owe someone an apology!

    A Frame failure

    I have taken numerous head of game, including 2 buffalo, with Swift A-Frame. All rounds performed magnificently. Only round that I had to come apart on a buffalo was a Hornady, 300 g. , solid. You never know!

    Cartridges We Can Live Without...

    What was that old saying????? "Ain't much a man can't fix with $700 and a 30-06." Of course, might throw in a 375 H&H for good measure.

    Scope question

    I am a Leupold fan and have Leupold on all of my rifles. However, I just mounted a Minox, 1.2 X 6 on my 375. Thus far, I am well pleased with it. It has RTA, rapid target acquisition, and an illuminated reticle. Clarity is great.

    Sierra Game King bullets

    I have used Sierra Bullets extensively for hunting and competition shooting, game kings, pro hunters and hollow point boat tails. I highly recommend them. They are extremely accurate and perform as designed. At the same time, I used 180 grain, Swift A-frames on my last plains game safari...

    30-06

    30-06 is to North America what the 375 is to Africa. What's that old saying, "ain't much a man can't fix with $700 and a 30-06!"

    What Line Of Work Are You In

    Spent 46 years in Law Enforcement, last 22 as Chief of Police. Retired 2 years ago. Hunted Plains game in Africa, this year. Planning on returning next year on a Buff hunt. Hope to spend as much of time that I have left out amongst God's creatures that I admire and respect, whether I fire a shot...

    Leupold QR Bases & Rings?

    I have used them extensively on plains game type rifles (30-06, etc.) and they work great. I am going to use a set on my DGR (375 H & H). I spoke with a person who has had them on two 375's for close to 10 years. He advises they work perfectly even with the increased recoil. I believe you will...

    Why The 30-06 Has Been rendered OBSOLETE

    A faithful "ol gal" with character that takes care of business every time! What more could a man ask for?

    Why The 30-06 Has Been rendered OBSOLETE

    Have to agree with Velo Dog. One of those guys who had been there and done it. Better pay attention to those "Old Salts." Know there business.

    30-06 ammunition recommendation

    I believe Sierra Bullets are some of the finest, most accurate on the market today. I load them in everything that I shoot, 308 included. They kill like lightning. The ProHunter in any caliber is hard to beat. Of course, I must confess my partiality. Carroll Pilant, Sierra Bullets, and I are...

    30-06 ammunition recommendation

    Retry. There are a lot of good bullets out there for the 06 and other calibers. What seems to be interesting, is that irregardless of what bullet used, is the satisfactory results everyone seems to be getting with the old 30-06. Perhaps we would see the same with the 375 H&H, the 404 Jeffrey...

    plane tickets are bought the wait is going to kill me

    Planning and preparation are all part of the overall experience. Savor every minute of it. I booked a year ahead to time and Loved every minute of it.Was told that Africa is a "Mistress." Now that I am back, believe it is a true statement.

    30-06 ammunition recommendation

    I used the 30-06, Remington 180 gr. Swift A-Frame on my plains game hunt. Performance was outstanding. Could not have asked for any better. The old 30-06 is still performing just like it did for T. Roosevelt in 1909. All boils down to shot placement. M. D. Browne

    plane tickets are bought the wait is going to kill me

    I have just returned from South Africa on my first Plains Game hunt. I booked a year in advance and the preparation along with the anticipation was agonizing. It was all well worth it. In the words of Churchill, " It exceeded my expectations. My expectations were extremely high." The best to...
