    What's your one favorite caliber?

    .22lr That's kind of a cop out answer though. Centerfire only, .338 win mag

    Where Has All The .416 Ruger Guide Guns Gone?

    Big bores are never going to gain in popularity substantially. Rifle and ammo companies are running on the McKinsey model now. Make what moves. Inventory is a curse word now. Slow moving product will always be made in batch runs from now on if made at all.

    Where Has All The .416 Ruger Guide Guns Gone?

    Yep, looks like a pile of them got shipped out the factory lately. I know they'd never make it in .458 because it would tank the .416 sales, but a guy can dream. Shame too. The .416 makes a lot of sense. It and the .375 ruger render a lot of older belted stuff obsolete, at least from a...

    Where Has All The .416 Ruger Guide Guns Gone?

    I wish they'd start building those guide guns in .458 wm. Its a very well designed rifle.

    Why a .338 WM in Africa?

    I always read how nasty is supposedly is. Worse than a .375, horribly violent, etc. I don't know where that reputation got started. I had a lightweight .375 once, and that was violent. The .338 is certainly sporty but I have shot mine 40 times from the bench in one day before. I'd have needed...

    Model 70 Classic Super Express .375 H&H - $1,650

    Seems to be plenty of demand for them. The only reason I have this rifle is because I couldn't find a new .458

    Model 70 Classic Super Express .375 H&H - $1,650

    I hope so. I just ordered about $3,500 worth of boat parts so I need to get this down the road before my wife finds out! I got a fair deal on it when I bought it, that's what I have in it. Hopefully someone grabs it and properly uses it instead of flipping it for a profit.

    Model 70 Classic Super Express .375 H&H - $1,650

    It was clearly a safe queen. My rifles typically look far worse than this after one season with me. It has that kind of trashy new haven hot glue bedding job in it which doesn't look great when it's out of the stock, but appears to be fine. Stock was a little loose when I got it but I took it...

    Model 70 Classic Super Express .375 H&H - $1,650

    I am looking to sell my new haven built model 70 classic super express .375 h&h CRF. It is in exceptionally good shape. Basically a catch and release for me. I bought it last year and have only fired some light trail boss loads through it and have not hunted with it. Boat broke, need boat parts...

    35 Whelen

    The coolest thing about .35 whelen is that it was designed specifically so it would be easy to make from recycled .30-06 brass. Its an very well thought out caliber.

    Why a .338 WM in Africa?

    Understandable. At least it doesn't suffer from being grossly overbore. Itd definitely be cooler if it was .338 h&h
