You have moneys to go on safari but dont have enough for the kids education..??? For shame

AMEN to that partner. Id never put it on a firearm that I cared about!

I agree completely.!

Ive been told that but I always reply with...."Im working a deal to have some sent on ahead"...!

Caliber is fine. 110 grain slug is light but OK for light plains game......170 grain sized slug for heavier animals. A 170 sized is great on Alaskan moose so take that for a size reference. Good hunting!

Terrific presentation. Very informative for sure

Glad others seem to think as I do about this video.! About as exciting and such as watching the local Coke machine sweat during the summer!

Mucho thanks. What Id be using one for would NOT be dangerous game...but the extractor "thingy" is certainly nice to know. Again...much thanks

Ive seen comments on the BB here that "push feed rifles" are best left at WalMart..??.. Basically saying they are "no good" and in some cases specifically calling out the Rem model 700. So whats wrong with them??

Thats OK..save your prayers...:) Im recuperating...just slowly is all. They told me Id be on Oxygen the rest of my life....and so far Im weaning myself a little bit at a time from it....and just yesterday I went from 7 AM until nearly 4 PM without it and my Oxygen level stay about the Doc's...

My eye sight went bad..so bad in fact in my right eye it was 20/200.....I could barely see the big E on the chart. Had operations on both eyes and now its ( both eyes open) 20/12 1/2. Almost good enough to see the birth of bacteria on a tabletop....:) Hunted some..deer..boars..elk..but never...

Obviously since I stated a man sized TARGET...I was at a bench..fully locked into position...but..by doing that I have no doubts with better equipment ( the 500 yd shot was with iron sight...Springfield M1A rifle) and the scope of my choise I can do as well from 250 in the field. Personally I...

Agreed 100 percent. An adaquate bullet in the "right" place will do it every time.

I only used the 500 yard distance in passing because 500-600 meters was stated in the posting I replied to. But besides that....if I can hoit a man sized paper target at 500 yards...why is it "impossible" for me to hit a target much larger with even better equipment? "Trama" is induced via...

I always thought it was seeing the price tag and the very end of the safari!!...:vomit:

Sounds to me like poor shooting and incorrect bullets used!!! Cant speak for the Lapua 338...but the Win .338 with a 225 grain slug...has 1370 ft lbs of energy at 500 yds..whereas the 30-06 with a 165 gr bullet has 1350 ft lbs! If 20 ft lbs of energy is so critical...then my safari I'll use...

Subtract 125 FPS for every inch of barrel less than 24 inches.

If I remember correctly...Jack Oconner's wife shot ALL the non dangerous game in Africa with a custom made ( Mauser or Springfield action..???) rifle in 7x57. At that rate a 30-06 with varying bullet weights should get the job done in fine style. Its the "man" behind the gun thats important.

IMHO...you hit it right on the nose. The "classic" looking rifle NEVER goes out of style....while the rococo style comes and goes.
