    Why not a Dangerous Game lever?

    As previously mentioned, one of the best options out there for big bore lever chamberings is the 475 Turnbull, which (if you can find the ammo) can move a 400gr bullet at 2150 fps for a MV of 4105 (very similar to factory 404J ballistics)

    416 Rem Mag 400gr NP Sale

    I know for those who reload, this may be laughable, but for those who do not (such as myself), it is very difficult to find Factory 416 RM ammo under $90 USD/box these days. Thought I would share.

    416 RM Hendershot Ammo?

    Good day all. Relatively new member here from TX and haven't posted much yet. I have a Ruger No. 1 in 416 RM and have been going back and forth on the feasibility of a 1 rifle safari, for whenever I can make it to Africa. I have a Ruger M77 in 300 WM, which would be fine to take with the 416...

    Practice session with the Ruger #1 450/400

    I have used the elastic sleeves that @BeeMaa is referencing on several of my Ruger No 1 In my experience, they work well; however, I have never had to do a quick follow-up shot on a DG hunt. The one I use is from a USA company called Beartooth Products out of Montana and they are made in the...

    Favorite movie lines

    I've always thought J.R.R. Tolkien was a brilliant man and, while these quotes are from his books, they were also used in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movie trilogies: Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens. — The Fellowship of the Ring Not all those who wander are lost...

    New to big bore educate me on 500 Jeffery

    I am not certain if they are still in production or could be ordered, but Sako made the 85 Brown Bear in 500J and you were able to find them betweein $2k-3k USD. From what I have read they were solid rifles, but I have no hands-on experience of my own.

    Blaser R8 RMR and Mount

    TOBY, thanks for the first hand account. I always find the most value from someone who has used a product; needless to say I will be giving that a second thought if I end up going the route of reflex sight. Thanks again for the info - No doubt trijicon makes rock solid products.

    Blaser R8 RMR and Mount

    I guess ill just have to get an R8 with an RMR then lol, b/c that setup looks great TOBY! I particularly like the QD function and your confirmation that it holds zero when taken off/put back on. Do let us know how it holds up to the recoil. Should be a great DG Combo!

    Blaser R8 RMR and Mount

    Thanks for the reply. I have checked the Trijicon website and done some basic research online and cant seem to find any RMR mount for the Ruger No 1 (at least not made by Trijicon). Best I have been able to find, as far as optics manufactures' mounts, is the Burris Fastfire reflex site mount...

    Very Nice! I would like to find a similar setup for my Ruger No. 1 in 416RM, but all ive found thus far is a burris fastfire mount. Great looking setup you have there!

    Hot weather day pack & socks?- Real world advice

    I go the cheaper route for socks and it hasn't let me down. From hunting early season elk in southern Colorado at temps of 80-85F to hunting hogs in the dead heat of TX late spring and summer (100F), standard moisture wicking work socks have done the trick. You can get these socks online or at...

    Do I need a 7mm Mag

    I own both a 7 RM and a 300 WM and while I really enjoy the 7mm Rem Mag for wt deer hunting here in Texas, the 300WM is more versatile and having a 270 in your collection as well pretty much makes the 7mm RM obsolete imo. If it has sentimental value or is a really nice firearm that you would...
