I had the pleasure today meeting with Kevin to pick up this rifle. Great guy to deal with and a great rifle, I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Kevin!!

Thank you guys for all of the input, it provided me with hours of reading and research. Over the last 5 years or so I have all but given up on attending gun shows. Not much there anymore unless you are an AR or pistol guy, never much at all in the line of rifles or shotguns that catch my eye...

No, definently not getting rid of my Zeiss and Leupolds. Looking to rescope; removing various older Weaver, Tasco and Redfield scopes with not so clear glass and poor btightness compared to todays scopes.

Yes, leaning very hard the Meopta direction. Also just started looking at the GPO scopes, they seem pretty stellar as well?

I have several rifles that I am looking to upgrade optics on, traditional wood/blued steel hunting rifles. I have multiple Zeiss and Leupold scopes, love them and have served me well. The fact is that I can not afford the investment to go the Leupold/Zeiss route at this time. I know that...

I don’t see or read much at all about Burris scopes or optics on the forum. Swarovski, Zeiss, and Leupold seem to get the most recognition and set the “Gold Standard” in optics. Anyone have anything to share about your experience using Burris optics?

Of the two variations of Weatherby rifles; Mark V and Vanguard. Which is your favorite, which is your least favorite and why? Understanding that they are two very different actions and both offered in Weatherby Magnum rounds and standard caliber rounds.

Of the three variations of the Ruger model M77; Tang Safety, MKII or Hawkeye. Which is your favorite, which is your least favorite and why? Also is there any another factory rifle at the Ruger price point aside from the various versions on the Winchester model 70 controlled round feed that would...

Thread resurrection from the newbie/first timer…… Understanding the 11-pound ammo restrictions. Question is could you have multiple (3) locked ammo boxes each under the 11-pound limit in one checked Pelican air case? Or does each locked 11-pound locked ammo box have to be in a different checked...

I have read countless hours about proper rifle fit and the effect on felt recoil. I am an accomplished shotgun shooter; spent many years as a shotgun shooting sports instructor for a local 4-H team and still shoot about 5000 rounds of sporting clays per year. That said I completely understand...

Good evening from the Texas Hill Country. I just put together this evening my Ruger No. 1B chambered in 300 Win Mag topped with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 scope. Weather permitting I have several different loads to test tomorrow. I am not new to the No 1 as I have a 243 1B that I have hunted...

Greetings to all and I appreciate all of the information. This is my first safari therefore I am just looking to make certain that I have covered all bases and leave no stones unturned. Great group of guys here and appreciate the willingness of each of you sharing your knowledge and experience...

Good day all, I will be booking my June 2027plains game safari in the next 30 days. I do have a question/s about travel/trip insurance. First, any good reccomendations for who to use? How far in advance can I get this or when do I purchase it? Departing approximantly June 3, 2027 for twelve...

GREAT story being told!! I will be going on my first safari for plains game with Cruiser mid 2027 and it cant get here soon enough. Very nice rifle that you put together. Could you please tell me what sling that is? Thank you.

I have two Weatherby Mark V rifles chambered in 270 Weatherby Magnum, one Lazermark and another Fibermark. I also stumbled across (10) boxes of custom loaded ammo and the bullets are loaded with 140 grain Barnes TSX bullets (I have not chronographed them yet but based on recoil I would say that...
