    Factory Ammo Suggestions

    Every gun and ammo combination is a law unto itself! You need to test several loads and determine for yourself what is the most accurate in YOUR rifle. Also test for smooth feeding and chambering, positive extraction and ejection. I have seen ammo where the rims sheared off due to cheap soft...

    Delays in shipping trophies from South Africa

    I had excellent results and on-time shipping with Karoo Taxidermy. They gave me written (email) costs, progress updates, verified what I wanted with the mounts. They gave me shipping dates and delivered on-time. Total time was 13 months from hunt to delivery. My outfitter, Blue Cliff Safaris...

    Utilitarian Reasons to Own Similar Rifles in the Same Caliber

    I love having lot's of long guns. But one must be careful if you are a reloader and have several of the same chambering. Every chamber is different dimensionally. If you fire a cartridge in Gun #1, neck size it and reload it, it may not chamber in guns #2 or #3. You would need to "Full Length"...

    Any love for the federal terminal ascent?

    I use the Federal Terminal Ascent in my .300WM. I've taken 8 animals, 8 shots. The Gemsbok in my Avatar was 313 yards, uphill. I find the Terminal Ascent very accurate in all of my '06 and .300 rifles. They feed smoot as silk, I get excellent and consistent accuracy from lot to lot. I doubt I...

    Scope Reliability

    Great thread Tex .416. I live in Beaverton Oregon and did contract work at L & S. I was able to buy scopes at an employee price less than 1/2 off. I bought many, and several had issues. I have since switched to Tract Optics and Trijicon. I own several of those and not a single issue or failure...
