I agree with this, which is why I have both. I actually have two 9.3s: an early 2000s CZ 550, and the Lipsey's Alaskan. My .35 Whelen is a Lipsey's African. It occurs to me that having two 9.3s is an opportunity to create two loads. Maybe one with the Speer 270 gr for the CZ, and and the...

The proper number of firearms to own can be expressed by the formula: F = n + 1 Where n is the number of firearms that one currently owns.

Huh... I never thought about an M77 as the base rifle for my .375 RNE build, but that may make more sense than my somewhat beat-up old Vz24 action. I'm going to doubt that any M77 in 7x57 would have enough meat for a rebore, though.

In all things I yearn for the past. Modern fashions seem to keep on growing more and more debased. I find that even among the splendid pieces of furniture built by our master cabinetmakers, those in the old forms are the most pleasing. And as for writing letters, surviving scraps from the past...

Clearly this is a sign from above to go purchase a .22-250 rifle.

I like them all!

Autocorrect strikes again, and I guess these forums don't let you edit posts after a brief window. This should have said "slower powders". Jeez.

All this plus the fact that until slower patterns came along, the Rigby didn't offer enough performance over the Mauser to justify the expense.

Which model stock are these? I think that both of the 90s era Japanese Weatherbys that I have are Weatherguards, but are blue rather than stainless. My current profile picture is my .340. They live in a couple of horrible molded glass-filled plastic stocks. Functional, but hollow sounding a bit...
