You haven't lost your mind. I found a Defender 110 in Bushveld in great condition for R220,000. I'm trying to figure out how to get it back to the U.S..

Inline, Once again, we agree. Not top dollar, mid price...fair enough. I've never had a problem with any of my Leupold, Lieca, or Swarovski optics.

Rob, It's not the warranty that I have an issue with, its the fact that I've had to use the warranty with three out of three products....

I've never owned the "guide gun", but I've owned a slew of M77's over the years and never an issue with any of them. The 30-06 will serve you well for almost anything but the largest bears. If you do get stationed in AK look at buying a second rifle in 338 Win Mag or something comperable. I...

I've owned three products from Vortex (Viper PST scope, Kaibab Binoculars, and Razor HD 25-60 spotting scope) and sadly all of them were sent back for warranty issues, and I no longer own any of them. I'm sure others have has better experiences than I have, but I'm done with Vortex and paying...

I set all my bolt action triggers with no creep and at 2.5-2.75 lbs, but this is do to years of shooting match rifles and M40's. Any creep in a bolt action trigger and my little brain just can't handle it. I want the trigger to break when I want it to.

Those ugly little pigs are addictive. It seems like everytime I shoot a good warthog an hour later I see another warthog I want to shoot.

Shootist, I'm standing right beside you on this one. I discovered the 280 remington when I was 15 (33 years ago) and hunted with it with factory ammo for years. Now that I reload it made it even better! I have hunting buddies that shoot various 7mm and 300 magnums and my trophies are just as...

For me it's really about bullet quality more than velocity. If you're keeping your shots under 400 yards there is no reason not to go with the 7x57 and good 150-160 grian bullet, unlees you like more recoil and muzzle blast?. I'm really partial to the 160gr accubond in my 280 Remington (about...

I contacted Edwards, $67 for the MAX recoil reducer and $45 for the installation in my curent HS Precision stock. I'll take that all day compared to $600 for a new stock with a mercury recoil reducer from HS Precision. Thanks again for all of you input!

From 458 Lott to 300 Win mag, I would definately take that!

Thanks for all the advice. I'll look into the Edwards recoil reducers as well but either way I'm looking froward to the rifle being more balanced. At 8.25 pounds the rifle is barrel heavy and tips forward.

Hi All, After posting the initial double gun or bolt action question in the thread, I have decided to stick with my 416 Rem Mag bolt gun. The issue I have is the rifle only weighs 8 pounds, 4 ounces which for me is a little light for cailber like the 416. I am looking at buy another HS...

McmIllan would be my first choice, second would Bansner and Co., or Brown Precision. I have stocks from all three companies and am happy with their quality.

I placed a 1.5-6x42 Swarovski on my 30-06 for my plains game hunt this past May and I shot game at distances from 70 -350 yards. 6X was all I needed.
