Why are the BRNO ZK actions considered better than the CZ 550s? Just curious.

Hi, I have a bid on a BDL in 7mm Rem Magnum, hope to win it and have it in a couple of weeks. Right now I'm looking at Swift 160g A-Frames and Rem 175g Corelokts Thanks,

Has anyone bought a Douglas Premium barrel lately? I had one, 2nd barrel on my 270 Win, and it was awesome. I was thinking of having my gunsmith put a Douglas Premium stainless barrel with a 1 in 8" twist on my vintage 270 Weatherby so I could shoot heavier bullets.

Hi have you guys/gals noticed this. I guess I'm pretty set for the most part but have seen a number of posts and did a quick search. No 500 Jeffery brass, very little A-Frame ammunition.

HI I bought a Caldwell "Rock Solid" shooting rest maybe 10 years ago. In my opinion it's a POS. The adjustment screws never really worked. Is there a much higher quality one out there? It seems like they jump from $100 to $700 really quickly. I found this one. Any opinions...

Hi, I've pretty much decided to have my vintage / beater Weatherby Mark V in 270 Weatherby, rebarreled with a Douglas 1 in 8" twist barrel. Has anyone used the .277 caliber 165g Accubonds? Reviews?

Anyone have one of these! I was thinking of it as a fun gun and a backup in home self defense weapon with 0000 buckshot.

Hi does anyone have one of these? How does it feed and function? How's the trigger and of course accuracy? Thanks in advance

Hi I bought a very used Mark V in 270 Weatherby several years ago. It shoots Ok (1.5" groups at 100 yards) but it's not a tack driver. I like the caliber, so I'm thinking of using it as the foundation to build a lower 48 hunting rifle. McMillan Weatherby Express stock with pillar, Hart...

I have a Rem XCR II in 375 Weatherby and have been thinking about it. I've loaded the non-HD versions to 2550 fps but haven't shot any game with them, that's a little fast for their non-HD design. Haven't heard many reports about the 350g HD version. Thanks!

I bought 100 rounds of the Buffalo Bore 255g hardcast 45 Super ammo for my Springfield V16 LongSlide. The V16 was designed for the 45 Super round, and came with two recoil springs one for 45 ACP and one for 45 Super. I've shot mild 45 Super handloads (230g GS at 1000 fps) through it for years...

I don't know why Swift doesn't take their excellent A-Frame design and add the base and tip of their Scirroco bullets to them, keeping the basic A-Frame design intact. It would keep the lead from starting to squeeze out of the base on a high velocity shoulder shot and would sure improve their...

Quite a thread going on in other forums about bullet failures on buffalo and even plains game out of 375 H&Hs and other heavier calibers. Anyone used a Hornady DGX expanding bullet (not the solid DGS) on buffalo with success (dead buffalo and decent bullet penetration, expansion and weigh...

Hi went to the range today (elk season is open on private land). I took the 500 Jeffery and my Mark V 270 Weatherby (my BDL 270 Win replacement since I gave the BDL to my youngest). The 500 is more accurate, more fun to shoot. My CZ 500 Jeff shot three holes touching at 100 yards (sighted...

Anyone been through this? How long did you have to wait before you could shoot your big bore again? Wish this was academic, but probably will have to go through this in the next 18 months or so.

May you and yours all be healthy and happy!

So I'm in between hunting seasons (elk in a month!) and my 3 lbs of IMR 4350 just showed up. I looked in my Barnes Manual Number 4 and I don't find any loads for IMR 4350. There are some loads in a "real guns" article on the CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery starting at 120g for 2415 fps and maxing at...

Thinking seriously about buying a used Ranger Rover ...

Went to the range today. Handloaded some 150g Partitions for my two sons 270s. Started out with factory Federal Vital Shok 150g Partitions Accuracy was very good (.5 MOA) velocity was slow 2740 fps. It's good ammo if you can find it, problem is we can't. I was also surprised how slow it was...

Hi, just got back from the Cheyenne Mountain Shooting Complex checking the "sight in" on my 500 Jeffery. I had to convince them to let me shoot it there, but the folks running the range are really nice and they did. The last time I checked it was 2 1/2" high at 100 yards, dead on at 25 and...

Barely used Springfield Professional First time out, 2 clips rapid fire at 15 yards. I'm sure the gun can do better, not too sure about the shooter lol ...

Interested in all of your opinions in regards to the best bullet for Cape Buffalo, likes and dislikes. I've never gone, but hope to someday soon.

I have a 1911 Springfield V16 Long Slide in 45 Super and it's a fabulous gun. It will shoot either 45 ACP or 45 Super with a spring change and it's built to handle the 45 Super (230g at 1150 fps) all day. I shoot Remington 230g Golden Sabres at 1150 fps for my self defense round. It's...

I'll be there Thursday afternoon and all day Friday, leaving early Saturday morning ...

Five weeks until my first brown bear hunt. I'm hunting with John Peterson of Bristol Bay Outfitters in the Togiak Lake area. Wish me luck! Regards, Chuck

It started out as a 375 H&H, had it rebarreled/rechambered by Harlan at Triple River to 500 Jeffery, some upgrades from AHR and finally some finishing feeding and action work by Kevin Weaver. I have about $2,000 into it now, but it's a sweet flawlessly functioning rifle. My buddy holding it...

Hi, I'm a new member. I live in Colorado Springs and have been hunting and fishing since I was 10 (a long time ago). I also have two sons (22 and 18) who are avid shooters and hunters. I"m doing my first guided hunt ever going after brown bear in Alaska this fall. We own a selection of...
