    Which Rifle Scope to Use with Big Bore Calibers?

    I have a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 in Warne quick detach rings on my Weatherby Mark V Euromark 375 Weatherby Mag.. It has crystal clear optics, & 4" / 100mm eye relief. The tube is long enough so mounting on any rifle is not a problem. It is very good in poor light or shaded areas. I truly love...

    Ugly question: 9.3x62 vs .338WM

    I like the 338 Win. My own personal 338 was a 340 Weatherby with 26" barrel. I used to load 225gr @ 3000 fps & 250gr @ 2800 fps. I have been using my CZZ550 9.3x62 for just about everything for a few years. I rarely use my 300 or 375 anymore since I have been loading my 9.3 with RL17. I swear...

    Norma 9.3x62

    The 9.3x62 is my very favorite cartridge. I recently bought another 100 Lapua cases which now gives me 200 new unfired Lapua cases + 20 once fired to develop some new loads with. I have been testing 250gr Accubond, TSX, Swift A-Frame, North Fork, Woodleigh PPSN & 286gr Woodleigh PPSN & Nosler...

    What is the worst rifle you have ever owned?

    It might have been Length of pull or some other factor. Maybe the stock did not suit you.. One of my favourite rifles, my CZ550 American 9.3x62 started feeling uncomfortable because I have Bursitus in my shoulder. However my Weatherby didn't bother me as it had a shorter length of pull & I...

    What is the worst rifle you have ever owned?

    It surprises me to hear that. I quite enjoyed using the 378 Weatherby. I always believed that gunwriters just kept recycling the original comment regarding recoil. While it is brisk it is not really offensive & does not kick as hard as a 458.. The Weatherby Mark V is a truly beautiful rifle...

    Quality of Hornady brass for reloading..

    Hornady brass is made in house. It is better than Remington & Winchester. Winchester is better than Remington. The best brass of all is Lapua, but they don't make belted cases. Norma makes the best belted cases.

    premium bullet rant (read at your own risk)

    The A-Frame is a splendid bullet. A few may equal it, but I doubt any other is better. I use the 270 & 300gr in my 375 Weatherby.

    premium bullet rant (read at your own risk)

    Yep, that is correct because the velocity is not high enough to warrant a Premium Bullet. If that 7mm was a 7mm Weatherby used on the same game , then a Premium Bullet should be used. There is a big difference, but it depends on the cartridge, bullet weight & velocity & the quarry.

    Favorite .308 caliber

    I have had eight 30 cal rifles. My current one is a beautiful new Winchester Model 70 Super Grade in 300 Win Mag. My very favourite tho' is the 300 Weatherby. It is no longer the fastest, but I believe it is the best.

    Scope for .375

    My latest & probably my last 375 is a Weatherby Euromark 375 Weatherby Magnum. I have a Zeiss Conquest HD5 2-10x42 in Warne quick detatch lever rings. I am very happy with this combo. The Zeiss Conquest HD5 is a great replacement & a step up from the excellent standard Conquest that it...

    CZ 550 stock

    Good choice Ses, I love that rifle & calibre. I am very happy with my Conquests also. I don't own a Kahles at this time but I do know how good they are. That is a scope I would be proud to put on my Winchester Model 70 Super Grade. 300Win.

    375 Ruger vs 375 H&H

    I love the 375 Ruger. I prefer it in a long action like the Win 70 Mag, Rem 700 so bullets can be seated without sitting deep in the powder room. I personally think an extra half inch of bolt travel is meaningless. I can't understand the aversion some have to 26" barrels. I have been hunting...

    Zeiss Duralyt Opinions?

    I have a 3-12x50 Duralyt on my Winchester Model 70 Super Grade 300 WM. I like this scope very much. It is good in crappy light & bright enough for me. I have a 3-9x40 Conquest on my Weatherby Euromark 375 Wby Mag for the 4" eye relief. I am very happy with this scope also. I just put a Zeiss...

    Scope for .375

    I had a Zeiss Victory HT 2.5-10x50 on my new 375 but I removed it & put it on my 9.3x62 as I found it only has 3" eye relief. The same with my Duralyt. My Conquests have all been 4" right thro the power range. 3" is a bit short for snap shooting practice with a 375. The HT is a beautiful scope...

    Reloading data for 375 Ruger

    I can tell you what I have tried, remembering, you are on your own when it comes to reloading. Every rifle is a law unto it's self. Drop back a few grains & work up.. The powder of choice is RL17 & is quite probably the very best for this cartridge...WLRM or Federal 215M Primers.. Winchester...
