    Any experience with the Winchester SXR2?

    I have a Browning Short-trac in 7 WSM, and it has no particularly bad habits. Not exactly a reloader’s dream with brass flying etc., but aside from problems with the original camo finish, since replaced by Browning after a class action lawsuit, it’s been a good rifle. I’d buy it again.

    One cartridge to hunt dangerous game for the rest of your life and it can't be a 375, what are you going with?

    I’ve got a handsome.378 on a non Weatherby action that makes as much sense as anything. I’ve also got an HS Precision 416 Weatherby that’s crazy accurate, but that is braked, which is both good and bad for obvious reasons. My .500 A2 is awesome, but you really need to watch where you put your...

    ‘Most (South African) voters want radical economic transformation’ – survey

    When a democracy devolves into two wolves and a sheep making dinner plans, a descent in anarchy and dictatorship isn’t far off. The Leftist playbook is simple: when in doubt, blame the victims.

    Travel to Namibia

    I did the dfw-Doha-wdh thing on Qatar last time, and thought it was the least bad way to make the trip. I’m sorry to see that option disappear, as it was a great way to avoid the SA firearms import process.

    Why not an 8x65R?

    Any point in a 'small' double rifle?

    At some point our gear becomes perfectly sufficient under normal conditions, and we’re free to allow other considerations, such as aesthetics, to enter into our decision making. While I appreciate titanium and carbon fiber for the most extreme conditions, there’s nothing wrong with a graceful...

    .416 for plains game?

    This hog made it about 75 yards after a body hit with the 416, but there was a trail that a blind man could probably follow. Only a CNS hit guarantees a DRT reaction, and even that assumes perfect shot placement every time.

    .416 for plains game?

    I loaded my .416 Weatherby with 300 grain TSX bullets @ 2800 fps. It's a light's out shooter, and the muzzle brake makes precision shooting possible without killing at both ends. I used it for an 80 yard shot on a croc rather than on PG, but the principle is the same.

    Mauser M03 long magnum magazine source?

    Unfortunately, they are long out of the M03 parts business. They have perhaps three or four odds and ends remaining, but are otherwise sold out. Mauser corporate publicly stated they would continue to support the M03 when it was discontinued, but that was entirely lip service as far as I've been...

    Mauser M03 long magnum magazine source?

    That's actually not accurate. There are also magnum magazines with a spacer designed for .300 WM, 7mm RM, etc. Ask me how I know this ...
