    New American Hunting Rifles (AHR) .416 Rigby $5,500

    I can do both, I’m naturally right handed but I’m left eye dominant. If I bought a right handed rifle it would end up in Montana at my kids house. Alas, this one is destined for someone else.

    Federal 375 H&H 300 Grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw Available

    So, for the pure joy of a good discussion, logicaly, a supporter of your theory might prefer a Berger bullet that basically detonates just after entry, to say a monolithic solid on a charging elephant or buffalo, resting comfortably in the knowledge that all of the energy was going to be...

    Federal 375 H&H 300 Grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claw Available

    These are two Pretty good bullets to have to choose between. I think the only thing I differ on is I prefer an exit hole for blood to pour out on both sides. The theory that 100% of the energy was “dumped inside” while true is also flawed as a comparison because it obviously takes just a wee...

    Canada bear hunt-getting back into US?

    For those hunting other species such as deer , moose etc. you may have to remove the brains from the skull to bring it back into the US. This was the case 3 years ago when I brought a moose back from Saskatchewan. USF&W inspected it closely.

    I am in Temple, Tx but get up and down I 35 corr weekly. Yes, it is threaded and comes with the factory flash suppressor. From the end of the barrel threads to where the barrel meets the barrel lug is 25 1/16” so that puts the overall barrel length at 26” if I’m estimating correctly, just a hair...

    The Ideal African "Light Rifle", that is the Question?

    I agree. For some reason people expect that it’s a recoil beast but I find it more of a shove than a punch.

    The Ideal African "Light Rifle", that is the Question?

    It is a unique rifle. It has a Hart Barrel and a BordonRimrock stock. I bought it used in a pawnshop from a gal who had no idea what it was. All she knew was it had sat on the shelf for to long.

    The Ideal African "Light Rifle", that is the Question?

    One thing I learned with this over the years is that if you choose to shoot a light for caliber bullet, such as the 180 grain out of a 340 Weatherby, or any other larger bore rifle. You get tremendous performance and yet the recoil is substantially less than you might expect if you were shooting...

    The Ideal African "Light Rifle", that is the Question?

    I’m 60 and Given all of the dozens of guns I’ve gone through over the past 50 years this one has been my favorite. It seems no matter what new rifle I intend to hunt with, I usually change my mind and grab that 340 that just fits me perfectly. Which gets back to my original point of it being...

    The Ideal African "Light Rifle", that is the Question?

    I certainly would agree it’s more than the minimum necessary for those ranges. It’s very useful where It’s been used for most of my hunting which was wide open long range shooting in The Missouri River breaks In SD and MT. This is sighted in with a 300 yd zero. Shoots 3.4 “ high at 150 and is...

    The Ideal African "Light Rifle", that is the Question?

    That concern is valid but I don’t shoot a lot of rounds yearly through it. It’s not really a bench rifle, Maybe half a box every year. It’s still very accurate and I’ve been shooting that same load for deer and elk out of that rifle for about 30 years. Shooting the Barrel out of a 340 Weatherby...

    The Ideal African "Light Rifle", that is the Question?

    Of course you may run afoul of regulations on dangerous game with a 340 Weatherby, I find it interesting as a reloader that according to Nosler,(reloading guide 7) The 340 Weatherby pushes a 300 grain Accubond out the barrel at 2726 fps at max listed load, whereas, the venerable 375 H&H tops out...

    Left Hand 300 Win Mag Christensen Ridgeline & Accessories

    I think I bought this in 2020? I would be lying if I said I remember. But my typical approach is to run an oiled patch followed by a dry patch through the barrel after every couple rounds for the first 10. Then adjust sights and shoot three rounds for sight in. That’s about all that’s been done...

    .416 Rigby & .458 Lott - Equal Recoil?

    Wanted 375 Ruger Brass

    If you are interested in factory loads I saw a pile of this at a local gun store a couple weeks ago for I think 65.00 a box or thereabouts. I could check on it if you are interested. Tags were very faded so it’s been sitting on his shelf forever.
