Hand loaded 7x57 if history, prestige or classic status is important. 7mm08 if you just want a nice little round that will take the game animals you mentioned.

From the bathroom window, couple days ago.

The yoke on the bogpod tripod rest swivels if I’m not mistaken, mine does. It’s not the same as good old fashioned crossed and taped/bound together sticks to form a tripod and most certainly not the same as the quad stick options. That said a 2.1 inch 5 shot group at 100 yards off a bogpod with...

The 168s are averaging 2805 fps with 55 grains of H414 in my 30-06. Pleasant to shoot, good trajectory and pass troughs on everything I’ve shot. I quit looking after that.

A pre 64 model 70 with a fixed 6x scope slinging 168 grain TTSXs is almost never not a good choice for plains game!

I used a fixed 6x Leupold on a 30-06 for taking 5 plains game animals from 35 to about 150 yards. It could not have been more perfect.

Bump for a pretty awesome, not very common rifle!

I’m a bolt handle grabber myself. I like the positive control it ensures, and I run it hard and fast while shouldered. No time for looky Lou’s in my book. I’m amused by people who think because you shoot fast ya can’t shoot good. I don’t personally know anyone here but I’d wager there are...

I think it’s great to have the option of shooting standard pressure loads when they work just fine and the ability to run some “high octane” loads for when ya want a little more zip!

That’s a buffalo killing rig if I ever saw one!

If anyone was wondering.

Lightly used by me. The Goldilocks of these African M77s as far as weight and balance. One of only 250 made with the .275 Rigby caliber designation. Asking $2875.00 shipped USPS priority insured mail from me to your FFL within the lower 48 United States. Postal money orders or personal checks...

I think we forgot one caliber that J.A. Hunter used. Bottom of page 17 in the book Hunter he says he had a Purdey and a .275 Mauser rifle. One his uncle had brought back from the Boer war. Bottom of page 24 he states that he set out with his old Mauser and a single native boy to make his mark...

People can poo poo old scopes but as far as set it and forget it types these old Leupold scopes are great. Besides that, no one that I know of is making scopes with a gloss finish anymore. If you have a wood stocked rifle with a nicely blued finish they look absolutely appropriate. And...

I normally buy into the sectional density theory because it makes sense but the all copper bullets seem to tip the table over on that idea. There’s an awful lot of cases of full penetration pass throughs on elk sized animals with the likes of a 120 TTSX from a 6.5x55. I’ll be interested in...
