I have used lots of powders over the years. Tried many combinations for the 30/06. For temp stability, accuracy and ease of use, H4350 is my go to powder. It works great with 150, 168, 180, 200 grain pills.

Just now seeing this. I have owned the brand for over 30 years. In the 80's and 90's, I could buy the traditional stainless/gold for $1500 to $2000. I bought and wore used Presidents for $5000. They were much less expensive in those days and used hollow bracelets and less robust cases. In...

Live in the NF south of where the wolves were released. We have our grown children, relatives and guests here throughout the year hiking. We have a lot of mountain lions, black bears, elk and moose. All run away as soon as contact is made. Anyone hiking in Colorado is much more likely to get...

I live in Austin also. We spend 1/2 the year in Colorado and the other 1/2 in Barton Creek. Wrapping up our summer stay in Colorado and will be back in Austin by the 1st of October. Let's get together then. We stay at the Arts Club in Mayfair when we go. Very small, boutique hotel with a...

I went thru this same process and chose a left hand GMA action, Pacnor barrel, exhibition grade Turkish walnut, express sights, Smithson rings with quick release, etc... I had Todd Ramirez build mine. He was fairly close to me and I was able to go out several times for fittings, final adjustments.

Todd Ramirez left hand 30-06. Culled 250+ plains game and a couple hundred whitetails.

Ok, time to revive this offering. It is a great rifle. Why hasn't it sold? A combination of things I think. I listed it during a robust flu season that was going around the world. No one was traveling or thinking about going to Africa. So maybe a bad time to list. Also, a very limited...

Son? I do have a Frederick Beesley .416 that has been on the forum a couple of years. I will make you a deal on it.

I get it. I have traveled the world pursuing my passion for hunting/shooting and managed to obtain over the years a collection of highly desirable shooting guns. Now that I am older, my kids have no interest in hunting and son-in-laws are not shooters. I brought in a shop and they hauled...

I took 200 bullets for my guide thru Doha and Windhoek. Packed them in my checked luggage and there were no issues.

I do a lot of whitetail culling. One of my favorite loads is a 110 grain Barnes TTSX in my 06 traveling at 3500 fps. In my experience, the TTSX has to be going fast to work correctly. I have guided numerous whitetail hunters in West Texas that used factory Barnes ammunition. Small holes...

Counterpoint: I guide for ranches in West Texas every fall as a hobby. I have been doing this for 20 years. They are all high fenced, multi-thousand acre ranches. The ranches do limited hunts, are sold out in advance and are very desirable to a certain crowd. The typical hunter is a wealthy...
