If Winchester made a super grade in 9.3, they would have my money so fast

I like the idea of the medium profile barrel. There was a **NOT**PERMITTED** version a while back with a 22 or 23 inch medium barrel and a Circassian walnut stock. I’d love to see another run like that

SD is just a mathematical expression of the relationship between bullet weight and diameter, nothing more, nothing less. I don't think it has much utility as a standalone value, but it is still useful for comparing similar projectiles. For example, in @michael458 's post discussing the .458...

I have no first hand experience with the Tsavo, but if MRC can offer a true magnum length action at about the same price point, that’d be huge. I don’t think there are any other options for new magnum length actions for anywhere near that

That looks great!

I began my quest for the perfect rifle in 9.3x62 almost a year ago and I’m not any closer than I was before. I suppose a Highland Stalker would be just what I’m looking for but that’s a little outside my budget. I’m leaning toward building one but who knows. It’s funny how often we think we find...

Has anyone tried putting a No. 1 quarter rib on the M77? Obviously the barrel would have to drilled and tapped.

I’m sorry to hear that. It’s tough losing an old friend. I lost my old gelding at 28 a little over a year ago. He was the horse my girls learned to ride on, before they got their own. Like @Tanks said, they bring families together. This little Filly is going to have some big hoof prints to fill...

You hit the nail on the head here. It is an expensive hobby. And, horses demand so much of a persons time. It takes years to become a proficient horseman and years to give a horse the training and experience it needs to be a reliable mount. There is also the daily time commitment. With so many...

As someone who’s been riding since early childhood, I’ll mention one thing that hasn’t been brought up yet. Make sure you chose and undergarment that provides some support. The long underwear that is typically worn on colder mountain hunts is usually fine. If it’s warmer out, make sure you stick...

The study you’re referring to is an observational study and not a random controlled trial and can make no definitive statement as to causality or lack there of. Admittedly, a true study with randomized control groups would present certain feasibility and ethical issues. The point of my post was...

This one bothers me. My wife was pregnant 11, 9, and 4 years ago, and in each case she was told not to take Tylenol during her pregnancy (among other things like eating raw meat or drinking alcohol) because of the risk of birth defects. So much so that the makers of Tylenol themselves don’t...

I haven’t owned all the ones on your list as I’m one of those CRF only weirdos. But, I do prefer the current M70 over the Ruger Hawkeye, in all configurations. I feel like the Winchester has better fit and finish and the safety is better. That is not to say the Rugers are bad rifles. I really...

That rifle is beautiful. Where are you finding brass for it?
