PETA People Eating Tasty Animals

I bought my first R1 with high grade wood in 2002. It was beautiful. It fed ammo flawlessly. The best I could do with groups at 100 yards was 2-2.5". Taking is apart for cleaning was easy but it lost zero after reassembly even though the scope was not attached to the barrel. The triggers are not...

For Sale - Leupold Fire Dot, Hunt-Plex, VX3-HD, 30mm, Matte. Leupold SKU 180628. $479.00. This scope is in superb condition. I bought this one last year, May 2023, directly from Leupold & Stevens. I took it to Africa hunting in June 2023, and it accounted for 8 animals, 8 shots. My media pics...

TX_GreatPlains, AKA:Bryan, is great to do business with. I just completed a transaction with him. He is absolutely honest and trustworthy. He is the fastest shipper I have done business with. He gets my highest recommendation, which I rarely give out!

I would like to get 100 .270 WSM brass. I recently bought "Bertram" brand .270 WSM and the primer pockets were not drilled deep enough. Very poor quality control and they won't answer their phone to seek a remedy!

I use Leica Geovid 10x42 for primary, I take Zeiss Victory 8x25 for ultra small lightweight to cover travel and tourism. More important, for me, than the bino is the method of carry. I use Rick Young Outdoors harness for all binos (wife's too). You can swing them out of the way into a underarm...

I use my Winchester Model 70, .375 H&H for deer and Elk and Hogs. I load the Speer 270gr. BTSP at 2660 fps. It has the same trajectory as my .308, pleasant to shoot, accurate, and puts game down "DRT". It can also be loaded up to .30-06 velocities but I see no need.

I have 2 scopes in QR mounts for my .375 H&H model 70, both fixed power. Leupold FXII-Ultralight 2.5x duplex, and FXII- 6x42 duplex with 200yd, 300yd dots. These scopes have been utterly reliable and are spot on when swapping in the Leupold QR mounts. My favorite is the 2.5x, it is so small and...

Some of the negative statements regarding Hornady quality is quite baffling to me. I have competed in Bench Rest and Hunter Rifle ( light rifle sporter class 6x ) since 1978 and have won my share of matches. Most of my wins and best groups were with Hornady and Sierra bullets. I weigh all of my...

The .280 Remington is a superb cartridge that does not get the cedit and WOW factor it deserves. A very versatile cartridge capable of being loaded with very flat shooting high velocity lightweights such as 120 to 139 grain bullets, all the way up to 175 grain Nosler Partitions which can handle...

That is well said Forrest. I'm in agreement. My point was back in the 80's the shotgun was touted as a great tool, and it was not. Now they have been replaced with quality, accurate semi-auto rifles (M4, AR, etc.). By the way our agency armory serviced thousands of guns every year. We had a...

I spent 35 years as a Law Enforcement Armorer, Firearms trainer and Officer. When I first started in 1980 we trained on, and carried Remington 870's with 18" barrels. And our duty carry was OO buck in the magazine, with slugs on hand. We qualified at 25 & 50 yards. The buckshot hits at 50 yards...

yep, no kidding. I was being VERY generous, giving them every piece of data in their favor, I figured 5000ft, 40% humidity, 35f. A nearly impossible combination, but done to illustraate the point. The .243 velocity should hover around 2900-3000 and the cold temps don't help either. None the less...

Very interesting. She was not dialing, and after I closely examined the video, it looks like the turret cover is on. I ran some numbers using the highest possible g1 bc, at 3200fps, 100 grain bullet. The spotter told her to hold "Dead On, behind the shoulder". That means she would be over 1 foot...

Meet Reagan and Jackson! Reagan is the Lab and Jackson the GSP! The 2 most curious dogs on earth! If you need it hunted they're your boyz!

The 6.5-300 WBY is definitely a hot number! But I can't recommend it for African Plains game. Why?? #1 - If your ammo doesn't make it off the plane or is lost, you probably wont find ammo in RSA gun stores. #2 - I just returned from RSA in July. I used a .30-06 with 200gr. bullets. 7 animals, 7...

Wow. Those are not only superb rifles, they are masterpiece art works. May I ask who your gunsmith is that made these masterpieces??

No worries, thanks for the kind reply. I will try to get these sold, and if your 550 is still listed I will grab it. They are excellent rifles. I have the 550 Premium in .30-06 and it is superbly accurate and utterly reliable.

Howdy Stompbox, I am interested in your .270. Are you interested in any trading for Zeiss Binoculars. I have their top line 10x32 Victory SF ($2400), purchased last May for my wife. Used once last June for our Safari and she does not want them. Repacked as new, in perfect condition with Rick...

I have both. I actually prefer the older model. It is easier to use and empty. It has over 25,000 rounds through it and works perfectly.

Another vote for Africa Sky. They were great picking us up at Tambo, wrangling bags and guns. The rooms were great, clean, good bathrooms. The food was delicious both dinner and breakfast. It was a great way to start our adventure.

Wow, very low S.D., and good velocity on load 4. Looks to be a great load! Nice work!!

Another vote for the RCBS chargemaster. I've had mine since 2015 and it has always worked well. I have loaded many thousands of rounds with it. I checked it's weighing accuracy against a calibrated Pharmacy Lab scale and it is spot on. I use a McDonalds drink straw cut to 2 inches to assist with...

Zeiss Victory SF 10x32 in Superb Condition. six (6) months new, used once in Africa last June. The accessory pack is still new in the box, all lens covers and accessories and paperwork. These are very light weight. Purchased for my wife to use. The optics on these are simply stunning. I wound up...

I have tried most of the above. My favorites are Wipe Out, Patch Out with Accelerator, Slicker and MAXX for Lubes. Nothing gets copper out better than Patch Out combined with Accelerator. Most of the bench rest competitors I shoot with are using it as well. Spray your bolts and raceways with...

Don't expect too much in the accuracy department with the Browning BAR. A good one that can shoot 1.5" - 2" MOA will do fine with big animals out to 250 - 300 yds. Most BAR's that I did warranty work on would not shoot 2-3". The 2 piece stock, forend pressure on the barrel, mushy trigger, slow...

By the way, I no longer hunt in Oregon due to not getting lucky on the drawings. Save a few extra dollars and go to South Africa!

Hello from Hillsboro.

Hi Axle2010, I have owned two Browning BAR rifles in .338WM. One was stock out of the box, the other I made a custom stock, installed a custom barrel, tuned trigger, and put on a bead blast finish. Both rifles were only 1.5 - 2 M.O.A. at best. The one load that shot best in both rifles was...

We traveled from Portland, Oregon to Atlanta Hartsfield, to JoBerg, to Port Elizabeth RSA. We used Delta and Air Link. Travel was easy and seamless in both directions.
