I have 1917 and a Santa Barbara Mauser that will eventually be built into nice rifles, but I've got other calibers in mind for those builds. I'm known around these parts as a big CZ guy, having owned about 20 pistols and rifles with the CZ stamp over the years. I've had my heart set on a 550...

Could be construed as "Cultural Appropriation".

Once ya hear the "THWAAAK", ya never go back! :LOL:

What's the twist rate in that barrel? The 300 Blackout with a 1/5 twist and 240gr Sierra BTHP Match bullets is very effective. Trajectory like a slingshot, but what wallop when it hits. ;)

I can post pictures of both the binoculars and their factory boxes when I get home from work this afternoon. Both have the R designation, but as far as I can tell the primary difference is the round button on mine vs the square button on hers. The ability on mine to switch from yards to...

Both are Geovids 10X42's. Hers will give accurate readings out to maybe 900 yards, mine would give repeated readings out to nearly 1700 yards. We were trying to spot Klipspringer in a rocky hillside in Pilanesberg when we really put this to the test.

BOOM!

Tina and I both have the Leica Geovids purchased about a year apart. Hers were purchased about 2 years ago from the local Cabela's, measures in yards only, and has the square buttons. Mine were purchased last year a few months before our Safari and can read in both yards and meters and has the...

I've booked a hunt in 2025 with Marius of HUNTROMANIA for Red Stag and Chamois and rather than bring a rifle I already have, this provides the perfect excuse to buy a new one. Marius has R8's as rental rifles, and this is unbelievably tempting, but having your own rifle that you are comfortable...

Any update on the sale?

Once upon a time, about 20 years ago I bought a nib H&R 176 for about $200. Used it for waterfowl for several years, and then decided it needed a cleaning and camo paint job. Upon taking the butt pad off, a long steel rod about an inch in diameter slid out of the stock bolt hole. I set it aside...

The website has pictures of some great looking Crocs. (y) Welcome to AH and best of luck to you this season.

Same here. The primary purpose of the Military rifle primer is #1. A thicker cup to prevent slam fires in the Stoner/Armalite platform from the free floating firing pin. #2. Sustain higher pressures without rupture, especially in full auto and high rate of fire weapons. #3. Allow the primer...

What an adventure. Wishing safety and success to you and your hunting party. Remember, there will be a crowd of us here on AH waiting to see pictures and a Hunt Report when you get back. :)

I've seen quite a few rifles, and quite a few shooters that could do that, but I agree that most people and rifle/ammo that you are likely to see at a range wont come close. What would really interest me is how well or poorly most hunters and shooters could do from the standing, kneeling...
