8mm-06 and .338-06 seem to be really only popular here in Canada. I was ready to do 8mm-06 out of an old Mauser but I did eventually get 8x60. So will give that a try first. For .338-06 I bought a nice Krieger barrel, but never even started the project plus I have a 9.3x62. So, I just sold the...

Very nice stags and very nice rifles. Congrats!

Sort of a much better .308 Win. :D

What the heck is a 7.62x57 HC? Your own wildcat of 7x57/8x57 necked up/down?

Thanks for replying. Glad to hear it is sorted and good luck on your safari. Hope you will post a report and some pics.

This has now been a while. I wonder what the OP found out.

I have that also. as well as some PPU brass. For the amount of times I use this rifle it's plenty. Would like to try it on next cow elk. Maybe I will get drawn in couple years.

I never got this obsession with cheek weld or LOP or other fitment issues with generic stocks. Unless you have custom stock made just for you or a target rifle with adjustable everything, I find you are still compromising. I prefer (and yes that is just my preference, not trying to convince...

I figured if I have to handload, I might as well give 7x64 a try. Even .280 AI ammo is not that easy to come by here. So I have some 7x64 RWS ammo, which will provide good brass for reloading. If I need anything stronger than 7x64, I will step up to 7mm PRC.

He said knife, not wife. :ROFLMAO:

Hehehe. Good one @BeeMaa. I did manage once in my life to sell pretty much the whole gun collection because I was planning to move out of the country. Told my friend, pawning off my stuff, to hang on to two just in case. A .22 and a post-war Czech Kar 98. He did. Years later when I renewed my...

My problem is I buy more than once and then cry more than once also. I buy the "inexpensive" because I'm "sensible". I end up liking it. No crying yet. Then I buy something "nice" because I always actually wanted the "nice". And because I deserve it, right? Then I cry how much it cost. But I...

The problem I have is that they ALL bring me joy. What is good is that even the "cheaper" ones do and to the same level of enjoyment. I guess I'm worried that as much as I'd like a Rigby Stalker in .257 and 9.3x62 or a new Mauser 98 (they're all $10K+ over here) that in the end while I would...

I agree but I also struggle with this on more fronts than one. I think the concept of fewer but higher quality things applies to everything in life or any hobby/passion/needs you have really. On the other hand, if we stick to subject of rifles...once you find a rifle that does everything you...

You can probably get different height spacers for the rail mounts. However, if the scope does not interfere with the bolt, I would not worry about seeing the front sight or barrel. if you have the scope properly focused the barrel/sight will be a bit blurry and soon you will just ignore it.
