Of all the stupid comments I've read.lately RLD, yours is right there at the top. Where did you get such ignorant ideas about conservative people?

I would say that if a bolt binds when being cycled quickly it has a serious problem beyond the design, and one that would disqualify it as a dangerous game weapon. That is not typical of the Mauser 98 action. Being able to cycle a rifle fast in a charge is a requirement when dealing with...

So, if I understand, it's bad for Muslims in the UK to commit rape but it is worse for British citizens to object?

I knew about Cabela's effort to restore cheetahs to Mozambique but this was the first I'd seen about effort to restore lions. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know if he died, but I'm pretty sure he was feeling worse than he did before he met Mr. Moose.

I guess it would depend on what you call "sloppy." I just went and checked my bolt guns. Both of my Mark X's (Mauser 98 type) have more wobble than my 700, 7 and 70 PF models. It is a characteristic of the design. That does not change anything about what I said about the reliability of the...

You do know that even if there is a slight perceived wobble in the 98 bolt, the system is far more reliable than a 700 action. Right? Most people that hunt dangerous game prefer controlled round feed (CRF) rifles to push feed (PF) guns. I've had a 700 in 7RM for about 45 years and a PF Model 70...

I want to.see.everything that is going on around the target/game (situational awareness) up until it's trigger pulling time. Besides, wandering around holding one eye shut would be awkward and would look silly.

Both eyes open until the actual shot. As I pull the trigger the left eye automatically shuts. I think the shot is more precise if only the shooting eye is open Gor placement. In any case, I've been shooting this way for so many years, I couldn't change it.

I have thought that taking my T/C Renegade .54 would be a lot of fun, but haven't done it. I have often wished to have a Sharps as well. Dealing with loaded ammo is easier than loose black powder so of the rifles that you mentioned, I think that the Sharps would be my pick.

I had an uncle that always hunted with one in .300 Savage as well. He took a lot of blacktails and a few mule deer with it. I always admired it. He passed away at 94 and his guns were given to the nephews. My cousin got the .300 but I received his 870 Wingmaster in 12 gauge so I really can't...

What is your 99 chambered in?

I have two of the Interarms Mark X actions. One in .458 WM and the other in .300 WM. I have had the triggers replaced with Timneys and the safeties replaced with Model 70 type. I.have used the .300 for mule deer, black bear and moose in the US and BC as well as plains game in Africa. I have...

I guess I had misunderstood the .350 Legend. I had read that it some thought it was little more than a handgun cartridge. I'll never hunt deer in any of the "straight wall" states but I can now see the vale of this round.

And sometimes pain is your bodies way of saying, "Stop doing that, Stupid!"
