    Scope Recommendation for First-Time 35 Whelen Project

    I really like the Trijicon scopes and I’d recommend looking at the Swaro Z3 line of scopes. Very good glass for the price.

    Plains Game Targets

    Hello and apologies, but I thought there was a thread about anatomically correct targets for plains game? I could not find it though…. Does anyone know where they can be purchased? Thanks in advance!!!

    Dakota 76 Traveler in .375/.300 H&H

    Beautiful set!!! IMHO that’s a great caliber combination!!! I have a Traveler in 416 Rem Mag, and asked Parkwest a couple of years ago if they could build me an additional (second barrel). They said that my serial number didn’t allow them to do so. I’d love to get a barrel in 300 H&H or Win!!!

    Want To Buy Lefty 375 H&H, 404 Jeffrey or 416 Rigby

    Yeah, for me I’d have definitely been interested in a 243!!! Zero interest in a 270, but if it was a 280…. I already have a LH 338 Win. A 308 Win could be interesting!?!?

    Want To Buy Lefty 375 H&H, 404 Jeffrey or 416 Rigby

    Left handed safari rifles are difficult to find. I suffer from the same affliction of being left handed. Also, rifles such as Winchester Model 70s can be got for a right handed shooter for usually well under $2500. A left handed rifle of the same make and model easily go for north of $2500.

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    I agree with you 100%!!! I look at several venues including auctions to find LH rifles. The last LH 375 H&H that I saw was a Winchester Model 70 Super Express for $4600 on GB. That rifle was priced about $2000 too high, or I’d have bought it!!!

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    As someone who is constantly looking for LH rifles on any format that I can find, I would respectfully disagree with you. Demand is high for LH rifles, and supply is pretty low. I look at this forum (of course), Cabela’s, GB, Guns.com, and Guns International multiple times a week. No joy...

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    I’m having a hell of a time trying to find a LH magazine in 375 H&H that’s under $10K. LH safari rifles are very difficult to find!!!

    Duck hunting shotgun question...

    I have only one camo waterfowl shotgun (Benelli M2). My other two are black SBE 3s (one 12ga and one 20ga). All left handed of course, as civilized hunters have!?!? Seriously, no duck or goose will care what color your shotgun is!!! Unless it’s hot pink or something like that…

    Want To Buy scope cheap/cheerful (or recommend)

    I bought a Trijicon Accupoint 1-6x for my 416 Rem Mag. Trijicon scopes have a reputation of being very well built. The glass is great honestly!!!

    Explain this: 270 wins the poll

    My favorite all around caliber is 7mm Rem Mag. It can do anything up to Eland (although it might be a little light for Eland). The recoil is definitely manageable. It shoots flat and the 7mm bullets are ballistically awesome!!!

    How well rounded is your cartridge collection?

    Yeah, I’m not sure you’re behind at all!?!? Very nice collection of calibers and gauges!!!
