Beautiful bull !! Congratulations !

So many variables with felt recoil, but when I plug the numbers into a recoil calculator comparing 300 with 180s at 3000 and a 35 Whelen with 250s at 2550, the Whelen shows a bit more recoil with like rifles, which more or less matches my experience. My favorite 35 Whelen has a narrow butt, and...

In my experience a .35 Whelen shooting 250 grain at 2500+ has more recoil AND terminal performance than a 300 whatever with 180s.

Divide dimensions by 5, that should be a simple calculation from 100 to 500 yards.

I will take the 2-7 compact, PM inbound.

Here is one purported to be made in 1980 with unbroken checkering. 1980 Interarms, Whitworth Express Rifle - Mark X, | Proxibid https://share.google/m1tsgIXfxjqpRykpj I believe all the Whitworths are solid rifles, but the earlier ones are more desirable in my opinion. Higher quality unbroken...

Yes. They are Zastava Mausers. They have been sold as the Whitworths, H&R 340, the Interarms Mark X, Charles Daly, Remington 798, and most recently and currently under the Zastava name as the M70

I prefer the earlier production that have the unbroken checkering on forearm of stock. The later ones have a dividing line through the checkering on each side of the wraparound pattern. Look at pics of them, you will see what I mean.

No.

Glad you at least figured out part of your problem. In my 30 Express (same action as 1917) .375 H&H build I used a magnum long action Remington 700 follower. I tested the original 1917 follower, a Magnum 98 Mauser follower, and the 700 follower. The 700 follower gave the best feeding in my...

I don't care for the cut off elephant tail pictures. I understand the tradition behind the practice, it just doesn't appeal to me in photographic form. Almost seems akin to cutting off a scalp and posing with it. I am not passing judgment on those who take and post such pics, it just hits me...

Have you tried Carlisle My Connect ? I and some of my buddies here in Fairbanks have had powder shipped up that way.

Looking through the instruction packet put out by the Namibia Professional Hunting Association, and I see the requirement for confirmation of medical/travel insurance. Will my normal health insurance card suffice for this ? Anybody been to Namibia lately that can advise ? I don't recall this...
