I saw many fallow deer but none of them made my jaw drop like the mouflon. I’m headed to the east cape in April so maybe fallow deer will catch my eye there.

My choice was mouflon in Spain

Check out AB suppressors. I know they make 375 in the raptor but I don’t know about 416. I have personally shot an AB10 with 5” reflex and it was simply awesome. Also Rex silentium makes large diameter suppressors and custom diameters/lengths Shooting a 30-06 Blaser with light weight carbon...

Over the barrel (except the new dead air xeno OTB) are still Direct thread. For the most part I have read that OTB suppressors generally have a deeper tone and less muzzle forward mass and length. Inch for inch and ounce for ounce a muzzle forward can will have better suppression given the same...

I’m interested in DbA at shooters ear for the OTB models

For young people and those of shorter stature don’t forget that a shorter LOP magnifies the weight of the barrel by creating a longer lever in front of the balance point. But… shorter barrels have more concussion. Concussion will cause more tendency to flinch than recoil itself. Consider a...

Winchester Alaskan (looks a JM Switzer modifications) Interarms Whitworth used Sako Winchester super express Zastava In that order. I love my zastava M70 9.3x62 but it required some TLC to get it perfect. The Winchester super express is overly heavy for a 375H&H

Unique for pistols Varget H4350 H4831 for rifles. With four powders you can optimize most center fire pistols and rifles. Once you specialize into progressive presses or more specialized cartridges other powders may have advantages, but I could pare down to these four and still have 99% of...

Lefty watching

I don’t understand the hate of weatherby rifles. These are turn-key $4000 rifles in some non-weatherby cartridges. They are made to order which for weatherby likely means one guy is doing each rifle just like the varminter and the deluxe lines. If there were a gripe to be given it would be that...

I do not think the 360 buckhammer will last through time. However for the ranges that DR’s typically are useful, it’s factory ballistics of a 180gr at 2400fps or better yet, a 200gr at 2200fps would be perfect. It is a straight wall case larger than 35 caliber so it would work in certain...

So, hear me out…. I would love a double rifle but for my hunting currently considering price they’re out of the question. However I have thought that the 360 Buckhammer from Remington would be a great extra small framed double rifle cartridge. You can use 0.355” bullets for practice it’s a...

If you were hand loading or somewhere with greater access I may suggest a different load but for the animals you suggest I would pick the norma oryx 285/6 gr. I have seen too many stories of Nosler 250gr accubond not meeting box velocity by quite a large amount. I have some oryx loaded but...

I have only killed whitetail deer with my 280AI. Last year I used a 22” 1:9” twist 280AI with 162ELDX on a small doe at 64 yds and a large buck that weighed 178 pounds dressed without the legs and head at less than 30 yds. Both had exit wounds and died in short order. I always shoot into or...

Gosh I hope that doesn’t happen. Did they negotiate a refund?
