So basically change it til I feel it's safe.

Is there a preferred trigger weight for african rifles? I would assume you would'nt want it too low for safety reasons and such? I pulled the trigger for the first time (with a snap cap) on my CZ550 9.3x62 and it is a hair trigger. I handed it to my son, who likes light weight triggers, and as...

If your a "one shot, one kill" confident kinda guy, you could always get a Thompson with a couple of different barrels. Us gun guys can talk about this til the cows come home! If your serious about it then the first place you need to start is find a good bear guide that you want to use and...

9.3x62 would be great for all 3. A 300 mag might be a bit hot for whitetail. A lot of people talk about blood shot meat when using 300 mag on deer. I have no personal experience with this so you'll have to research it. The 9.3 moves slower therefore eliminating this effect, in theory.

Definitely check that out, there are limitations.

I didn't mean hitting the stock, I meant the looseness at the end of the bolt travel being designed in for some reason.

Thanks. It hits the stock, but it's a hunting rifle so no big deal I guess. Funny how it cycles so smooth then feels like it's going to fall out. I wonder if Mausers were designed that way for a reason?

I'm new to Mauser actions, is this normal? Cycles great, just wobbles alot.

I'm thinking about getting a Fausti O/U in 9.3x74r.

Open sights, 75-100yards vs the typical 50.

Will an O/U be more accurate at a longer distance do to the sights being right over top of the barrel?

No hogs or wingshooting in Ohio. BUT! Groundhog hunting is good if you like long distance shooting? And there is a groundhog guide in Ohio, but book him now if your interested.

Too many idiots from down here going up there and shooting a bear from 400 yards with a .30-06 and the bear runs off and dies 3 weeks later from infection or bleeds out a week later. It'll be "with a guide" only hunting for out of state folks pretty soon for all fur bearers. All these Discovery...

They said send it on out and they'll take care of me.

I got a hold of them yesterday.
