Interesting response. The initial post tossed out how common is 1 MOA accuracy. When I shoot my long guns to zero or during load testing I generally shoot prone supported or off a bench. I consider the results of this to reflect how I shoot. I often see shooters at local ranged shooting off...

I have found that more than 24 hours with you and a Minute of Gin (MOG) is the most realistic outcome.

I consider prone supported or bench supported off a bag a reasonable standard for shooter and rifle. Locking the rifle in a sled I feel has little to do with shooting but does clarify a rifle's accuracy. I see some shooters at the range go from 1 to 5 MOA the moment the rifle leaves the sled.

Silly question... When you guys are shooting a consistent MOA, are you shooting prone supported, prone unsupported, seated at a bench, off a sled, bipod, shooting sticks?

170 Grain Oryx in 7x57 is my primary plains game round. To date I have seen nothing but great results. Deep penetration and full expansion while retaining 90+% of its weight. Zero issues so far this year taking Sable, Wildebeest, Impala, Blesbok, Waterbuck, Warthog, Bushbuck, Lechwe, Puku...

Gunsandrovers is a great group of guys.

My 1971 109" Land Rover has 600K miles. My 1985 110 has 200K, my 2006 D3 has 260K

I personally have been very happy with Norma Oryx bullets on plains game the last few years in 7x57. 156 Grain Oryx should do well in your rifle.

That is a great book and must read!

I park on gravel...Just shovel more on top when it looks rough

I think Cruxland is not too bad a gin (South Africa)

I would prefer my cup to run dry than not see my drive train dripping 90wt. I appreciate the support. If I recall you are not that many years behind me.

To be fair....I believe in the future I will lock up my Gin when Pete is around. He is a bit shifty and always lurking. If you look at the pic he looks guilty. Most likely when I was up to piss he kept taking nips from my cup.

I think its evaporation.....

I have really began to like Sipsmith. Gin bottles go pretty quick here.

My 15 year old daughter (5'8") loves her CZ550 in 7x57. I would trust her to take most plains game up to Sable cleanly with 170 grain Oryx / 160 Grain A-Frame or North Fork.

I currently own four land rovers (88", 109", 110, and LR3). The LR3 has 250K and never been in the shop for other than fluid changes and brakes. I have had previously owned another 109" and D1. Never problems. My parents Toyota has all kinds of issues. She borrowed my 110 300tdi while their car...

Great Watch

Exactly.

I agree. Pissed me off too. Not quite sure why the comment was made. I tend to never hear those comments in person. Mostly on internet forums.

I recently purchased a Tudor Black Bay because of the exact same issue with Rolex. Lots of my friends have shifted from Rolex to Tudor. Tudor will and is making watches for certain organizations upon request. A good daily wear dive watch is the Royal Navy dive watch by Cabot Watch Company. It...

Norma used to sell the loaded 156 grain Oryx in 7x57. I have not seen that in a while and would love it available again.

Exactly

I promised my favorite "Sergeant" in September I would return shortly. She seemed pretty excited. Mustache went away January. I look like a little laddie.

Of Course it will be blue. I am not a savage who does not coordinate hair color.

I did not realize my desire to experiment a little would create so many issues. I wish you loved me who I am and not who you want me to be. I am dying my hair blue as we speak and getting a job at a local coffee shop where they respect me even if I shoot a Rigby wearing a Westley Richards shirt.

Sometimes I act out to create a little jealousy and get a little more attention.

47.75" Sable and 15" Bushbuk with @spike.t in Zambia.

I am not not in anyway associated with Westley Richards but wanted to pass on some exceptional customer service. I recently ordered an article of clothing that I had some sizing problems with. Westley Richards not only sent out another size but followed up to ensure things were to my standard...

Generally I carry kit that could either save myself or others. I do not like relying on a single point of failure. I also plug way points into GPS and ask my PH what he might be allergic to, if so does he have medicine. I like knowing the commo and med plan. A vehicle rollover, mamba bite, or...

https://ravenrocksprecision.com/7mm-284-156gr-oryx-projectiles/ Here are some 156 grain on sale.

By chance have you tried the 170 grain Oryx? My two 7x57s shoot them better than the 160 grain A Frame. This year the 170 grain Oryx have taken 2x Wildebeest, 2x Impala, Blesbok, Lechwe, Puku, Warthog, 2 x Bushbuck, Sable, Waterbuck, and some whitetail without failure. Might be an option.

@264 Those are some great photos!

Mustache or @SFRanger7GP being attacked by wasps in the blind. Verdict is still out.

Here is a small Whitetail shot with @SFRanger7GP this year. I will look for some other photos of North American game taken the last few years. The mustache scared away the bigger deer.

That elephant is truly amazing.

I was with @mdwest when Anet unveiled the painting in South Africa. I will double down on Dave's post and say her work is truly amazing. Not only is her work far above most of art I saw at DSC but she is a great person. I would recommend her to anyone looking to get custom work done.

I thought you were buying my 243?

I knew I would hear of this from you. I thought of not posting about the 375 and hiding my excitement and saying it was a 300H&H. I am not sure what a 375H&H has ever done to you to deserve the hate.

I held the new rifle a few times at DSC and am extremely interested. I do not see Rigby as being overly nostalgic. I think they are being practical. I wanted a lighter 375H&H than what was currently offered in the Big Game. This rifle would be used from Elk to Cape Buffalo and up. My 275 for...

The idea for a Toyota would be to buy one and show @PeteG how unreliable they are and hard to repair in the bush. He would then apologize for all his unnecessary comments for hours on end about my land rover. Once he apologized I would take him to the pub in my Land Rover.

Absolutely beautiful Rover

The PUMA frames and body panels were much better with corrosion that earlier series / defenders.
