    Sorta looking for a .375

    I have a Sako l61 actioned custom for sale. It has an MPI fiberglass stock and a stainless steel barrel. Right now can’t remember if it’s 22” or 24”. If you’re interested send me your phone number or email and I can send pics. Also have a fair amount of factory ammo and reloading supplies...

    Thermal Optics and Eye/ Vision Impairment/ Damage

    I am a hog hunting guide and have a couple thousand hours with my eye looking through a thermal scope. Basically you’re looking at a small tv screen. Other than having a constricted pupil when you look away not one ill effect. This sounds like something specific to that brand of scope, although...

    45-70 dangerous game?

    It all depends on the bullet and how much velocity can you get. I load for a friend’s 450 NE double. He has a shoulder injury and can’t take full recoil. For his softs I load 295gr. Cutting edge safari raptors, and for solids I use 325gr. Safari solids at 2150 fps. To date he has killed 4 Cape...

    Why nobody on this forum talks about Jeff Rann Safaris?

    I have a buddy that booked a Hunt with Jeff several years ago. Circumstances changed and he ended up having to cancel the hunt a full year out. Jeff would not refund his deposit. Just so you know there may be some integrity issues.

    A thorough conversation with Swarovski - Conclusion: Rookhawk knows nothing and is wrong about everything

    What they didn’t tell you was that the family that own Swarovski, considers their sport Optics line to be the redheaded bastard step child of the family. If it wasn’t so lucrative, they wouldn’t make them at all because they don’t really care for them. Also, I learned a long time ago if you...

    Alliant powders

    Alliance sells every pound of powder they can absolutely get into the United States. Which is about a fifth of what they used to be able to considering that they can only put powder on one cargo container per cargo ship.

    Which rifles run fastest for driven hunt

    Instead of wondering about which specific action to use, I suggest about 10,000 rapid cycles of the bolt and pulling of the trigger. Can be a combination of dry fire and live fire, but I would start with the 10,000 number and work up from there.

    Barnes TSX vs Swift A-Frame on Buffalo

    I apologize First, as I did not read the entire thread, so I am not sure if this recommendation has already been made. Please do not look past Cutting Edge bullets as an option. In my mind for dangerous game they are the most superior bullet on the market, bar none. I have been loading this...

    Sorry, no extractor. There was not one in the box of parts I received. Apparently it never made it to me.
