    How many of you use QD rings

    i have a couple of my DG rifles with them, a couple don't. i have yet to remove a scope to follow up game to date. a 1 or 1.5 low end is fast and accurate for me i am NOT saying my way is the best. just how i do it up here.

    I KNOW IT IS OVERKILL BUT WHAT BULLET AND WEIGHT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND IN .458 WIN MAG FOR LEOPARD?

    i think above was a typo and he meant 3,000 fps. i get 2450 fps out of a 400, so 2800+ would be easy in a 250 gr projectile.

    cutting edge bullets make a flat point solid that would work for you and north fork bullets has flat nose solids AND a cup point solid that would likely be the best of both worlds, great penetration and limited expansion.

    The 470 Capstick Pt.2

    hi, just curious. is the 458 win rifle lighter than the 470 capstick? it seems weird that it kicks much less than the 458 and getting an additional 100 fps out of a 500 gr bullet, both are in a straight case, powder charge can't be a lot different, so am curious about the substantial recoil...

    ironically, i was going to suggest that combo. i shoot them at brown bear, if your shot is good, it will kill a leopard. that combo shoots out of my 24" interarms mark X at 2315 fps. recoil is not bad. it will also do fine on a cape buffalo, you can have a harder bullet in the magazine for a...

    welcome aboard! as @Mekaniks said Thomas Highland Safaris is a great company that i have hunted with and would heartily recommend. they have plenty of great rental rifles if you don't want to bring your own and are very connected to the german community.

    Mauser k98 to 9.3x62

    first, you better figure out what rifle it actually is. the 300 win could be turned into a .338 win which is a fine rifle. action is likely too short for the 375 H&H. the 375 ruger might fit though. good luck with the project.

    Mauser k98 to 9.3x62

    a 300 win has a different bolt face. a 3006 has the same bolt face as the 9.3x62 and many people start at the 06 and rebarrel.
