45 Colt for a revolver my son likes to shoot.

So basically the zeroing problem was because the scope cuts in the receiver weren't alignned properly, but Ruger fixed them?

"Could you be a little more specific, please?"...

Something occurred to me at the range today. Has anyone on here ever been hunting buffalo, specifically in Mozambique, and the PH said, "remember, two in the body and one in the head!"?

I have no experience with the 22-250 but was just listening to a Hornady podcast (ep 160) where they talked about barrel life of various cartridges based on their experience with test barrels. They go through many barrels and track when groups start to open up so they need to replace the...

I agree that it's nice to have to have similar or the same action for practice and consistency. My main hunting rifles are a Ruger Hawkeye and a Model 70: pretty much the same to operate. And I like using a Mossberg semi auto shotgun with a tang safety just like my over under. But from my...

I like the easy handling of my Guide Gun in 30-06. If you're also thinking of getting a Model 70 Safari in .375 H&H, you'll have the same combo as me. It's interesting to note that both rifles are the small calibre in their line. This makes them a bit "over built" and heavy for their...

Update: the scope is fine and this was my misunderstanding. I sent it to the Canada Leupold warranty centre, and they sent it back. This prompted me to check some more and ask myself if I was testing it wrong. I think the mistake I made was in how I looked through the scope to check it when I...

Were the rings rough on the inside? Most of the Ruger rings I've had are kind of rough from the casting process, and need to be lapped. But before I learned about lapping I never had accuracy problems, just bad ring marks. Anyway, even if the rings aren't visibly rough or causing apparent...

I have no experience with that cartridge but the same rule applies to any cartridge: like others said, never fire a reload where there's any doubt. I would only fire reloads from a single close friend whose discipline and judgment I would trust as my own (regarding reloads at least...). It's...

I agree, difficult to tell, but I suspect a mammal specialist paleontologist could narrow it down pretty well. I'm always amazed in casual reading on the topic how they can identify animals from such fragments, but they often can.

Very nice! I've only managed to fossil hunt trilobites myself. I live among Pleistocene glacial deposits in Southern Ontario but I've never come across bones. I found a piece of ~40k old wood in some lakeshore bluff sediments while doing some geology fieldwork 25 years ago.

If you like speculative fiction along with a good background for the question, "what's a good three rifle battery for Pleistocene park?", you'll like this video.
