Thank you so much for your reply and your input. I would not hesitate to buy a Safari express as it has some features I like but the only ones Iv seen are push feed. I do prefer a heavier rifle but It looks like it would be overly heavy balance wise.

Hi, So as some of you may know, Iv been looking for a .375 for a while. Iv looked at both the Alaskan and Safari express although not in person as no place even remotely close to me stock them. So im currently looking at the Alaskan. Now I have seen some used Safari express models on line but...

Thank you

I bo I bought the warne qd rings made for m77. They come as a set high and medium. The rings that came with the rifle are 1”, my scope is 30mm

One question I have is the hawkeyes have two different height scope rings, higer in the rear and lower in front. When I get my scope installed, the scope tupe wont get messed up from that?.

I find it very hard to move away from a walnut stock and a blued barrel, its just what Iv always known. My requirements for a rifle slim down the options for me. I refuse to buy a rifle without iron sights, it’s just a must. I really wish Winchester would make there Alaskan model with a...

Yeah Iv always wanted to go for a big Kodiak bear, why Im looking into the .375. I spent my summers in Alaska as a kid with my aunt and uncle. And you ask any old timer and most of them say 30-06 with 180s is plenty. Not speaking of this ruger. But I would not want to risk losing a nice bear...

I actually have a VX3HD fire dot twilight hunter. its 3.5x10x40

I agree 100%. I think most people talking about the velocity loss are mainly armchair hunters who don't spend enough time actually learning there rifles. All your responses here are exactly why I truly enjoy this forum. Well educated individuals with plenty of field experience. Iv been...

Im glad to hear it, Iv really been second guessing my choice but I loved the style and caliber of the rifle. I am considering moving up to a Winchester model 70 in .375. It will be my first magnum rifle and from the research Iv done it seems like its a caliber Id learn pretty quick. Im sure its...

Its funny you mention the CZ 550 I have a CZ 550FS in 6.5x55 and love it. I bought the warne quick detach Ruger rings, I will be looking at a Leupold scope.

So I just bought the ruger guide gun in 30-06, has a laminated stock ( not as ugly as the photos) 20” barrel, built like a tank. Iv always been a big 30-06 fan. I wanted a nice handy rifle. I was looking for a Winchester Alaskan but they were impossible to find. But now the more I read Im...

No it is not. Although I do wear them on my hunts.

I love Tag Safari, but Iv ordered two of there long sleeve trail shirts and they both have the same flaw in the same spot. The collar buttons are sewn on in a way that it pinch's the fabric and causes creases going down to the second button. I took one to my tailor and she found a flaw in the...

Hi, Can anyone recommend a cotton long sleeve safari shirt?. Something that would look great on the hunt as well as a casual day out.
