Good Gun Deals This Week

Yea my 300 ultra at 6lbs is quite lively. I like lite guns. Have many under 6 and 4:5lb 308. This is before they get scoped but go as lite as I can there also.
I carry a rifle a lot more than shooting it so I am with you, the lighter the better. My Kimber .308 weighs 5lbs 14oz scoped and my Kimber .375H&H weighs 7lbs 11oz scoped.
 
I don't buy the light people ride with the recoil and heavy people absorb it- Two things: don't let the gun get a headstart at you and be relaxed to the push. If the gun is tight against your shoulder and your muscles are relaxed the tip is much more enjoyable regardless as to your weight.
 
And a third thing- keep your mind occupied with something else, such as focusing on the front sight blade or watching the muzzle to follow the bullet to the target or watching the animal for bullet impact- whatever, just don't be focused on "this is going to hurt".

Kinda strange they’res only a $50 difference between the starting bid and “buy now” on the CZ? Seller looks legit though.
 
I must admit, when I read that earlier I winced and pushed the laptop away from me in disgust for a moment. I’m a giant coward, I hate recoil. A 6lb 338 sounds to me like handling an 11lb .577NE. Not fun.
I shot one back when I was shooting a lot of big stuff, it wasn’t, bad but it was offhand and it weighted more than 11lbs.
 
And a third thing- keep your mind occupied with something else, such as focusing on the front sight blade or watching the muzzle to follow the bullet to the target or watching the animal for bullet impact- whatever, just don't be focused on "this is going to hurt".

Good advice, but much more difficult to put in practice! ;)
 
You're going to love what I got me for Christmas. I don't try to buy the nicest Christmas gift for myself each year, but I almost always do.

I secured the Blaser. Seller had other barrels and accessories too, a couple of which I am really excited about. Gobbled them all up. Yum yum yum.

Thank you for posting, wouldn't have seen this otherwise. Merry Christmas!

I do have lots of floater in my eyes
Glad I’m not the only one dealing with this… eye doc says it’s totally normal, but man they’re annoying.

That’s a great looking set of R8. Even though I already have R8s, I was quite tempted with this one.

Enjoy the beautiful rifle and have a blessed Christmas.

I think how you are built makes a big difference. Lite people move with recoil big people don’t we absorb the energy.
I like @Tanks video showing how to roll with the recoil versus fighting it…helped me big time shooting my 500 DR500 NE

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
