    Hunting Rifles or Target Rifles

    the smallest I ever had build was a .14HORNET based on a RugerNo3. I did not use this and it is lost now. What I used had been my .14x50R in a Blaser K70, .25x50R in the same rifle, .25x57R-Imp in a Blaser K77 UL, 6.5x68R in the same rifle, 9.3x64 in a K77, .338Gaby in such one, .25x68 and...

    What caliber should I bring for Plains game hunt

    N560 in some cases is shooting better with using magnum primers. I would suggest that and reduce the actual charge by one grain at least to start with. Other choices to reduce pressure can do good on accuracy, but will reduce m.v. too. With AccuBonded I like putting a MoS2 surface on them...

    Big bore projectile choice

    In big bores, it sometimes is not easy to get bullets at all and so you might be happy with Woodleighs as you can get them. They offer different modells and cover all needs. They may change from brand to brand, so take enough from them if you intend not only using them for testing. But even so...

    Big Bores

    My biggest, no, let me start the other way. Not my biggest, but the biggest I was involved with at least to a very detail, had been a .700 based on the .50BMG case with belt and was thought to be used in a double-barrel bolt-action. That was to be build by one guy in Canada, I forgot his exact...

    lever action yes, but no 45/70 and not for Africa. My first choice lever action still ist the Browning BLR. I use one on drives and searches for wounded wildboars. better: my brother uses this gun now, but for the same purpose. It is chambered for the .308Win, unfourtunately, since this is...

    Tipping Guide

    you know what? tip is something very special for US folks. I mean, it probably spread out in the world from there, but seeing my home, Germany and France, it is more or less usual to pay no tip except round up your invoice. That is common in all regards and so we are not aware from the...

    True Love

    thats is the coolest krieghoff engraving I know and I would not have run a bet for they would do it! It is a great idea with that on a .470, just great! Msyself, I do not feel that attraction by DR, but can understand what you telling about, because I am towards single-Shots in similar way. I...

    Favorite Rifle

    I would mean, the one I use. I really hunt with about anything, but there is no question that some can do the job better than others and such is not only a matter of rifle, but also of the used caliber. There I have a fondness on wildcats and like, of course, those of my own design the most. So...

    What caliber should I bring for Plains game hunt

    Received an email yesterday, telling about this site here and don't have any idea, what ever turned that to me. I did once one single hunting trip to South-Afrika, Eastern Cape, but I am surely not typically fpr hunters roaming this fields. Well, just registered because of this thread, even...
