Beautiful rifle - 2 questions. What defines a Germanic style stalking rifle ? How long is the barrel ?

I have seen in other forums they are a legit company but their shipping costs are high. I have no experience with them.

I have pretty much the same gun. Bought it when I was younger and it was my only "big game" rifle for a long time. Shoots just about anything you feed it into very small groups, factory ammo or handloads, 130 grain - 150 grain doesn't matter. Mine has a very smooth action and is dead reliable...

That is what is called a "project gun". 35 Whelen is an excellent choice.

It seems most have missed your original question of deciding between a 7mm-08 and the 7mm Rem Mag.,there is quite a wide gap between the two. Also, you didn't mention what animals you were targeting ? Blesbok, Springbok, Bushbuck size game or Kudu, Eland, Waterbuck etc ? You also wanted a gun...

That makes 2 of us (well 3 counting my wife). Been here 6 years on a work project that ends next year. We are looking to move back to Pennsylvania and looking forward to the day I can buy an AR, suppressor, pistol with a threaded barrel and extended mags. It really is the Peoples Republic of...

Thats worth buying just for the Lapua brass alone !

A sling is for more than just carrying your rifle over your shoulder. I guess many people have either forgot or dont know how to use a sling properly to shoot. It's indispensable for me as a shooting aid.

I've been using ApexLoad Pro software for a year now and it is a godsend for reloaders. It covers literally every catridge/powder/bullet combination out there. Its a German based program so all the EU powders and cartridges are listed as well as the typical US based. I ran the simulator on a 6.5...

Lodge looks fantastic ! I hope you have a great hunt.

I'll take the Vortex scope cover you have listed in the Pay it Forward thread. Ken [redacted]

I'll take the Vortex bikini scope cover and the other items as well if you want to ship all together.- PM coming

A couple of things I didnt see in the post were: *What are the dates you are going and for how long. *Are you flying on a preferred US carrier for points/miles (?) *Do you have to fly out of Nashville ? Its a 4 hour drive to ATL - It may be cheaper to overnight and leave from there ? *Are you...

I think the SST lineup is one of the more accurate hunting bullets on the market. I have yet to find a gun that won't shoot them accurately with any number of powders. Great for whitetail size game, usually full pass thru penetration and devastating wound channels.

I thought about putting them in a cooler bag with an ice pack to stay cool. But, I'm thinking of trying the NRL Factory class competition next year and there are shoots in all kinds of temps so I let them come up to the outside temp then started to shoot. I didn't see any pressure signs and hate...
