    North America's Do-It-All Workhorse - An Ode To The 12 Gauge!

    Oh please, this person is so obviously a troll. Someone joins a forum entirely devoted to hunting in Africa, using the photo of an attractive young lady as a profile picture, and demeans the entire continent based on supposed experiences at a handful of port cities. They then claim to earnestly...

    What is the dumbest thing you ever did to damage a brand new gun?

    Bought a Steyr-Mannlicher Luxus and ordered a nice leather strap for it. The metal prongs on the strap that slide through the loops were too thick and not easily replaceable, and the loops on the gun are fixed, so I went to town with sandpaper. Hours and hours of grinding those little things...

    Dangerous Game Rifle Caliber for an Enthusiast

    I always thought reducing recoil was a side effect of sleds, and the main purpose is to keep your gun absolutely steady for sighting in your glass as precisely as possible. Nothing “sissy” about wanting to make sure your bullet goes exactly where you aim it.

    Hello from WA

    Thanks, all! What a great place. I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can, and eventually, to sharing my own adventures and experiences. @jacques smith I picked up a Steyr Mannlicher Luxus. It’s a sweet gun. Even being on the light side for .375 (just under eight pounds) the recoil is...

    Hello from WA

    Greetings from a lurker living in the inland northwest. I’ve been trying to pick up a bit of the collective wisdom here, and figured it was time for me to introduce myself. I’m a longtime lover of stories about hunting adventures in Africa and India, a more recent firearms enthusiast, and...

    Dangerous Game Rifle Caliber for an Enthusiast

    OP, where are you located? If in the US, send me a PM. I saw a new M70 .375 in stock somewhere about a month ago and I would guess it’s still there. Happy to tip you off to the location if you’re having trouble finding one.

    375 H&H Magnum all round hunting optics

    Anybody here have experience with the Kahles K18i? It’s got the largest FOV at 1x of any scope I’ve found. I assume that’s thanks to the 30mm tube, which should also help gather light. But they’re designed for three-gun competition, so I’m not sure if they’re tough enough for a .375, and I’m...

    Dangerous Game Rifle Caliber for an Enthusiast

    I recently picked up a Steyr Mannlicher Luxus in .375 H&H and absolutely love it. I paid a bit more than your budget, but I’ve seen them go for $1200-$1500 at auction. Maybe worth looking into, though the M70 is also a great choice.

    Help with 375H&H

    I think you’ll be pleased with it. I picked up a Steyr Mannlicher Luxus in .375 and it’s a brilliant shooter, even being a touch light for the caliber.
