    Looks like the CMS shirts are all the rage

    Lots to dissect but I doubt the hunt would have gone any smoother if the client's rifle had been a .416. In all likelihood a .30-06 would have been better for him than a .416, but I don't think the caliber of the client's rifle has much to do with it one way or another. Just my 2c.

    Pre 64 model 70 .300 H&H follower length

    Thanks so much for the help, guys! Sounds like my follower is the correct length, so I will try a new magazine spring first and see if that fixes the feeding.

    Pre 64 model 70 .300 H&H follower length

    Would anybody be able to measure the length of the magazine follower in your pre-64 Model 70 in .300 H&H? This rifle is new to me, and was given to me by a very good friend. Unfortunately it often doesn't feed the last cartridge from the magazine properly, and I think I've got it narrowed down...

    thats why I dont like doubles (have one)

    I saw this too and thought exactly the same thing. I think it must be very hard for PH's guiding celebrity clients. Also, I'm interested to hear opinions about following up a wounded buffalo from the back of a truck.

    Whitetail deer season 2023-2024

    I feel very fortunate to have harvested this buck right at the end of our gun season. The freezer won't be empty after all! Used Norma Whitetail ammo in 300 Win Mag this year for the first time and very happy with the performance.

    M1917 Enfield Rifle Project

    I think an interesting side note is that Cogswell considered .404 a large bore rifle, according to the advertisement. This goes against the view that big bores historically started at .450.

    I did it! I bit the bullet..,, you wont believe it!

    Yeah but are they free range mice or captive bred from PetSmart? I've read of a lot of put and take operations. Are we talking a big hayfield or just an overgrown lawn? Totally different hunting experience imo.

    Reloading Addiction Group

    Sounds like me. A friend gave me his RCBS reloading outfit. Press, dies, case trimmer, the works, plus powder and primers. Well over $1k of stuff if I had to buy it. I then let it all sit untouched for 18 months. Last night I fired my own handloads for the first time. Three rounds of .30-06...

    In addition to many of those already mentioned, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading Robin Hurt.

    One rifle, two scopes

    I really like the idea of two different scopes. I really don't like the idea of two different bullet weights haha.
