Welcome to AH! I'm down by Boerne, Tx. My wife and I did a safari with Numzaan Safaris a few years ago and it was an incredible trip. If you would like to discuss, let me know. By the way, my wife's rifle was a Ruger No. 1 in 7x57 Mauser. I bought it originally but she has claimed it as her own...

I shot 3 position in college, then shot rifle silhouette seriously for 25 years. Shooting offhand high power silhouette at 200, 300, 385, and 500 meters is extremely challenging both for yourself and your equipment. You learn so much it’s difficult to try to tell it all. I believe it’s fantastic...

I have flat feet and own several pairs of Russells shoes and boots. Since Russells are custom made you can specify the construction and design. For flat feet they have a "wedge heel" that makes the most comfortable footwear available.

All of you guys are right. Huge cartridges with small diameter bullets have high flame temperatures which burn up chambers. If you want high accuracy life, which in my case as a Silhouette Shooter, is defined as 1" groups on demand at 200 meters, than when a barrel is shot out it goes to 4" the...

No I haven't. I use Shilen stainless steel barrels and match bullets. The accuracy holds but when they go downhill they go fast.

I have shot Rifle Silhouette going on 35 years now. I have shot out 2 barrels, a 7-08 at 6600 rounds and a 6.5-08 (260 Rem) at 7300 rounds. I clean using JB Bore paste and Kroil using patches on a jag and no brushes. I believe a lot of wear comes from brushes banging on the chamber. I learned...

I have a CZ 550 stock that I bought in 416 Rigby that I will sell at a reasonable price. PM me if you want it.

I have a CZ 550 factory stock that I bought in 416 Rigby I can sell you very reasonable price. PM me if you want it.

I won a Browning X-Bolt in 30-06 in a sporting clays tournament. I had not paid attention to the X-Bolt previously. It's a great rifle. First, to speak to the controlled round feed comparison, the X-Bolt magazine design feeds the rounds straight up, not side to side. The polymer magazine is...

Welcome to AH! I lived in Memphis for a while growing up. Where did you go to High School?

Awhile back, I talked with the Leupold sales rep at the Houston Safari Club show. He was telling me that when he did training for the dealers, he liked to ask what scope did they think was the brightest. Everyone would say a 50mm objective with a 30mm tube. the answer was the 2.5x8 VXIII. It...
