    CRF vs Push feed

    I've read a lot here lately where there seems to be a pronounced preoccupation by some with the ability/inability of a given rifle action to chamber a cartridge from the magazine when the rifle is upside down. When has ANYONE EVER had to this in an actual hunting situation? If so, I guess I'm...

    The quality of MOST American brand vehicles have gotten WAY better than the '90s, but they still have a way to go especially with the tech stuff on the vehicles. Before buying any vehicle, go to carcomplaints.com. You put in the year, make and model of the vehicle you're looking to buy and it...

    I agree with you on the global economy. We can never go back to the '60s and '70s before much of our manufacturing and later tech was shipped overseas to compete because of the cheap labor there. It cost the US many good paying jobs but in the long run it did/has benefited the vast majority of...

    How Much do You Shoot Your Big Bore?

    I tend to shoot my larger bores only now and again during a range session. Maybe 10-12 rounds and then switch to my .300WM or .308. I just don't have the ammo budget to go through a lot of the bigger stuff on a consistent basis. Heck, I don't even shoot my .338WM much anymore due to the scarcity...

    You've summed up the economic quagmire we're in pretty well. Monopoly money thrown into the system increased the inflation rate 2- 3 points (maybe more) from where it would have stopped rising. The Fed had/has to dramatically raise interest rates to tame the runaway inflation. Then the prices of...

    I've NEVER had a misfeed or ejection problem with my factory Remington 700 in .300WM or my Browning A Bolt in .338WM. Guess I've been lucky for 17 years with the .300 and 28 years with the .338. Maybe the newer ones suck?

    Yeah, well my hunting buddy shot a small 4x5 bull elk at 25 yds. THREE times all body shots with his '06 using 165gr. Sierra BT and it just stood there for a minute before toppling over. He also shot a cow moose at 25 yds. FOUR times with the same load and it just stood there until falling over...

    Why all the 6.5 Creedmoor Hate?

    Wow, that's some great shooting with open sights. As for me, I can barely even SEE the target bull with thin crosshairs in my scope on 9X at 300 yards! I need to quit reading these long distance shooting threads/posts while I'm still behind. LOL

    Why all the 6.5 Creedmoor Hate?

    +1 on your #2 sentence. It's not just the Creedmoor cartridge that has decimated the availability of ammo/brass in 6.5s but in many other cartridges. Hornady, Nosler and some others have concentrated most of their factory ammo and reloading components to manufacture their NEWEST proprietary...

    Were the Ruger RSM and CZ 550 Safari rifles the two most significant contributors to the 416 Rigby's recent popularity?

    Yes. The Ruger RSM and CZ 550 in AFFORDABLE rifles for at least the mainstream aspiring DG hunters in this country, brought the .416 Rigby back from obscurity. Already, the available used rifles in those two brands are reaching the unaffordability index for many. I'm guessing in ten to twenty...

    Well, my Glock Model 40 10mm has a 6" barrel with Trijicon night sights for hunting leopards and jaguars at night. Those don't weigh nearly as much as the buffalo Razor Dobbs was hunting with his 10mm, so I should be OK? LOL I'm sure Henry was telling the SAPS guy that his six pack of COLD Black...
