Plus, the Weatherby VG appears to be a light-weight rig.

What make of rifle would the 25-06 gurus here recommend as the most accurate current-production rifle for use in the field? Not looking for a 12lb heavy barreled, thick-stocked bench rifle, but suitable one for all-day carry that shoots sub-MOA with factory ammo. Thanks.

Heard IMR 4320 got cancelled. Supposedly was found in possession of MAGA gear. Very sad.

What particular 45-70 load are the sights regulated for coming out of the factory? Didn’t they include a sighting-in target?

Noop.

Well, for my accuracy needs, most of which is hunting or plinking, a 50-yd zero is the norm (whether iron-sights or scoped) and sufficient to do the job. The one exception is the 100-yd zero on my 452 Ultra Lux. That was easily obtained with its absurdly long 28” match-grade barrel. Stock pic...

Thus far I’ve had great experiences with CZ’s .22lr line - the 452s, 453s, and 455s. My sister calls this little CZ Scout “Jack’s squirrel assault rifle.” :LOL:

Old thread I know, but per an Alaskan contact the .358 Win - chambered in a handy old-school lever-action - is still popular up there for taking big critters in close, thick brush and in the timbered areas. The .35-cal cartridges generally have a rep for punching above their weight class. In...

A good fair price for a .308 M600. GLWTS. That said, including auction site links for comparative pricing versus other M600 models isn't really relevant for two reasons. first, you have to factor for caliber. A .308 M600 like yours is chambered for a "commonly available" caliber versus the...

Similar question posed in this thread currently running, but it’s qualified for “Plains Game.” https://www.africahunting.com/threads/best-all-around-caliber-for-plains-game.91209/ This thread’s title isn’t qualified and so is presumed to include the hunting of large DG as well as non-DG game...

I’ve had excellent results with both Federal 215 Mag primers and CCI 250 Mag primers.

So you and the Pops had trust issues. …. Very sad.

Yes, it is a beauty - but it’s also a CZ 550 Magnum and, like its BRNO ZKK 602 predecessor, it’s built for rough handling and brutal field conditions. It’s a ‘working rifle,’ not a Safe Queen like so much of the custom stuff that crosses through this board and elsewhere. If I was that...
