Sincerity is the quality of gentlemen

Totally aeree, 1 moa it's not so common, not all day nor any given time. Our rifles are mainly hunting stick, light and chambered in hunting calibers with hunting bullets. My rifles shot straight, but one likes cold weather, the other some fouling, another one a given bullet above all the...

Browling, Berretta, Wotherby

No round should sound like that in my opinion

A warm welcome on the Club!

...and I will, too Thank you for the useful info That's what I wished (as I'll have Blaser mount on my BBF)

As I'm going to buy a BBF 95 from a friend of mine, let me ask you : I guess, when you clean the rifle barrel, you just have to remove the scope. Any given time. Do the point of impact / settings changes, even a little bit? Or the scope remains totally sighted in? Just curious about your...

Veramente un piacere! Credo dovremmo comunicare in Inglese nel forum anche se parliamo tra noi, così che gli altri capiscano - ma per questo benvenuto comprenderanno il nostro entusiasmo! (Nei PM ovviamente scriviamo in Italiano)

Welcome aboard VolkFra, you'll find a lot of good friends, and useful info on this Club - sono Italiano anch'io

My advice, if you're interested in this great round, is to buy dies and shell holders in advance, even if you not yet reload it. This stuff in our '64 is pretty rare, especially the shell holder that is not in common with other cartridges (as far as I know). Also, a good set of ready-to-load...

As a commercial cartridge, I use the very classic RWS Tug / Uni 293gr, a great cartridge indeed, an iconic, accurate and effective bullet

Another good one for our beloved 9,3x64 should be this heavyweight - my reloading project for the next autumn, probably with RS powders, too.

Welcome aboard Grat, good to have you in the Club

This is true, I agree Some few rounds are a pass-par-tout, and for sure 8x68 is not - as many good cartridges around

...or you can reload, just as many of us do RWS and Norma (now Beretta), Brenneke, and few others make rounds in 8x68S I guess, that little store in Utah or Georgia, maybe will not have many cartridges we commonly use as well...

A toast for your Dad in Heaven, Toby

Late in this party, but I put my bet on 8x68S, my favourite caliber by far - mild recoil, flat enough, powerful enough, you can load it from 180 to 250 grs, still doable in a light rifle with a compact scope ... just like my Sauer 90

Epic rifle, absolutely beautyful I may add that in a so classy rifle, I'd like to put a vintage (not too old, just from the '90s) european glass, like a good old Zeiss or Swar, or S&B. Anyway it's a gorgeous n.1, congrats!

Absolutely agree, just I also love the ones made by Sauer, too Anyway the old Wbys were masterpieces, truly outstanding. I have a very accurate rifle in 300 Wby, but it's not a Weatherby, so it's "one day" wish, when I'll find a very nice one.

I like the rifles more than the calibers in the Wby family... to me the MK V is still one of the most iconic and beautyful ever made, really symbol of an era

End of an era Quality, in things and people, is just a memory It's not a casuality, it's intentional At least, this is my feeling

Fantastic rifle - and (I confess) I love to see the screws aligned...that testifies great attention to details

A very happy Easter to you all, friends!

A very good point and one of the best threads title ever, to me. Well, as in people, I prefer rifles with a story. Dents and scratches, well, can be very fashinating. As the actress Anna Magnani once said "I love all my wrincles : it took me a lifetime to make them" Cant agree more

This one is also cool

Can't agree more with the thread title! They will end soon... no Company can survive to an Army of dissatisfied customers (n)

This is from an old American Handgunner (july/august 1992) I was reading before sleep - it seems very appropriate!

Aequitare Arcum tendere Veritatem dicere - Tacito - I should maybe translate in English, but I believe this quote is by far, more powerful in Latin

Nice nice rifle. Outstanding quality and classic look in a great caliber. Congratulations!

Thanks Hank! Yes I love it, add that is easy to resharp, something not so common with many super steel of today. Definitely a classy knife, but at the same time an heavy duty tool!

To me, my beloved old Randall is the perfect hunting knife for Africa and for everywhere else

Welcome aboard and a very happy new year Gerolf!

Welcome aboard Grant! I have fond memories in your Country, as I did my first Elk hunting in the upper corner, Kootenay area, many years ago. You're lucky to live and hunt in such a bautyful place! And you'll find here a AH a great place to share, learn, and find friends.

I disagree, as in my opinion (and my personal experience) a Rigby - or a Jeffery - worth every single penny

Welcome aboard Phil, good to have another neighbor here, you'll find good friends and advices here on AH!

Found this one just opening AH, right now! Pure serendipity!

Yes indeed Picture shot by Rober Capa

Talked with him a couple times : he's also an authentic gentleman.

Great to see the Italian firm Concari on your wish list - Mr Concari is a true artist. Super high quality stuff, built one-piece-at-time, class and beauty.

To me, this is just a pebble in a landslide. Hopingly not, but the trend of our future is living in a World where everything that is good, right and natural will be banned, and everything is against nature and common sense will be referred to as the model. It's already this way. This is the...

Totally agree We have a lot of good rifles & ammo producers here in EU Still, it's sad to know

Ok, I'll try to find something for your needs!

I like these here

Thank you so much for the report and pics, you really had a great stay and hunt! Congrats for the nice stag!

Sincerely, in case of a full scale atomic war, I would be more worried about the survival of our species, than hunting opportunities

I'm Italian, we used to receive and buy lot of guns from US, I guess that damages both you (for the lack of exportation) and us Anyway it's a trend in the last 3/4 years

Here is Otto, a Dachsbracke - a strong, frugal, tireless tracker and friend

Hello Martin, welcome aboard, you'll find good friends here, and good time

To me, who close the distance will always be a better hunter than the one who shots from far away. I'm much more impressed by a shot from 50 yrds than 500. Less distance = more fun, more ethics, more respect of the animal. AND more skills. In my opinion.
