I know similar questions have been asked on here 1000s of times, but I picked up a nice CZ 550 .375 h&h about a year ago and still can't decide what scope to put on it. I am between the Leupold VX -3i 1.5-5 or the VX -3i 2.5-8. I will be using the rifle primarily for bear inside of 200 yards for...

I am not in the market to buy one nor do I have a current need for this particular caliber, but I was reading about the 6.5 Weatherby RPM and was intrigued. Does anyone own a rifle chambered in it? If so what are your thoughts, does it live up to the hype?

Went in to a local gun shop I regular and the owner got a hold of a handful of rifles in an estate. Included in those are cz550 9.3x62, a cz550 .375 h&h, and a cz550 .458 win mag. They are all at great prices and I have enough set aside for 1 of them. I already have a Ruger Hawkeye African in...

I would like to put together a 20" barrel quick handling short action magnum woods gun. I originally wanted a .350 Remington Magnum, but it seemed to be dead unless you have a custom rifle and already have a stock of brass. I would like to stick to a medium bore. I'm thinking maybe either .338...

I'm thinking about giving my son my mid 90s pushfeed Winchester m70 with detachable magazine and upgrading my ’06. If I do I'd be want to spend up to $1200 and I want something that's pretty weather resistant with an internal magazine with floorplate and a 1:10 twist. I'm looking real close at...

I recently purchased a Ruger m77 in 7x57 and I have a black bear hunt planned in the fall that I was going to use my .30-06 for, but would like to use the new 7x57. I am not set up to reload for it yet, so factory ammunition will probably be the way I go this time. All I can find available is...

I went into my local gun shop on Saturday and he had an older savage 111 .338 win mag for a very good price so it followed me home. I'm not sure what I'm going to use the rifle for yet, but for the price I couldn't leave it. I hope to be able to get to Alaska and Africa in a few years after the...

I have a friend in the Air Force who is getting ready to be stationed in Alaska for the next 3 years. I am planning on going to visit him and do some hunting probably next year. I have a ruger Hawkeye African in 9.3x62 that would be great for moose and maybe big bear if we ho for it. My concern...

This fall I will be hunting fallow deer and I will be taking my 6.5x55. The only factory ammo choices I have are federal fusion and hornady sst, I do not reload. Shots will more than likely be 50-150 yards. Which bullet will give me a quick kill, but not do too much meat damage on this small deer?

At risk of sounding redundant I'm looking for some more scope advice. I bought one of the lipsey M77 Hawkeye African 9.3x62s and am trying to figure out what power range scope to put on it. I was originally planning on using a 1.5-5 power but have been second guessing the choice. The rifle will...

Does anyone know anything about the new Nikon Monarch 3&5 scopes??? I'm usually a leupold guy but I just got the new Nachez catalog yesterday and the the Nikon Monarchs are going dirt cheap. Are they any good?

Just saw a killer deal on a older (no accustock or accutrigger) savage weather warrior .300 win mag at my local gun store. I already have a .300 win mag. Its just a cheap Remington 783, but its a shooter and has given me 0 problems. Do I buy the savage?

Looking to upgrade the junk scope that came on my .300 win mag and can't decide what to put on it. I am kind of partial to leupold, but not sure what model or power range. I have a price range of about $400. I will use the rifle for a Colorado elk hunt in 2021 and plan to use it for moose and...

I have a M93 7x57 spanish mauser that my father taught me to hunt with long ago that I love. I still use it for whitetail deer here in Michigan with the Remington 140 gr psp which of course is loaded light to be safe in these older small ring mausers and they work fine for that. My question is...

I have been reading posts for about a year and finally decided to join. There is a lot of great information on these pages! I have not yet been to Africa, but am hoping to in a few years. In the mean time I'm doing as much hunting as I can here in the States.
