    Sights/Optics .375 Holland & Holland Mauser

    I have the Nikon Monarch 1x4 on my 375. It’s been great so far. FWIW, I think all scopes can fail. Case in point, I had a MK4 Leupold on 10+ lb .308 break on me after several thousand rounds.

    The pursuit of accuracy - a blessing or a curse?

    If I cannot get a hunting rifle to consistently shoot 1 MOA or better, I get rid of it. That’s just my personal standard. Understand that I was fortunate enough to have employment that allowed/required me to shoot weekly on Uncle Sam’s dime for several years. As a military sniper, my...

    My .375 H&H Load For Bull Elk

    I am fortunate enough to have been drawn for an early rifle bull elk tag in Arizona this year. I decided that I’ll use my 375 H&H and set out to develop a load for my Winchester M70 using Barnes 250 grain TTSX bullets. I subscribe to the OCW school of reloading. If you’re not familiar with...

    .375 Swiss

    I'd call Dan Lilja (Google Lilja barrels). I've called him in the past and he's been extremely helpful with that type of advice.

    New Evidence In The Long-Standing Mystery Of The Tsavo 'Man-Eater' Lions

    I'm reading "Man eaters of Kumanon" by Jim Corbett right now. The book is about his adventures in India hunting several tigers and leopards that preyed on humans. (Excellent read by the way). He came to the same conclusion in 1944 as the article, explaining that these big cats could no longer...

    New Ruger African in .275 Rigby

    Very anxious to hear a range report as I think these rifles look beautiful and in an excellent chambering. I subscribe to the "only accurate rifles are interesting" train of thought.

    Looks like the hunter will have a scar to remember that bull with (scope eye, see 4:33-4:36)...ouch!

    Browning rifles

    Whether you're right handed or left handed is irrelevant when deciding on left handed bolt gun or a right handed bolt gun. What is important is whether you are right eye dominant or left eye dominant. That is the deciding factor.

    Has anyone hunted in the "tactical style" or military style desert boots?

    I've hunted in several different Danner boots. Not specifically the Jackal, but I have used warm and cold weather Danner boots. I've always been pleased with them. Edit: I did have one pair that I was not happy with the sole. It started to come off after just a month of regular use. I sent...
