absales, this subject has been brought up on AH a number of times. I suggest that you do a "search" using the function AH provides. In short, because of the versatility the 375 H&H Mag is known for, the best solution is to have two scopes mounted in QD rings. One low power for up close and...

375 Ruger Fan, while your 404 Jeffery group was within a "minute of Buffalo" we both know it can be much better. Those shooting sticks are a "bit__." More practice with them is the only solution. Were you using "quad" style sticks, a bog pod or the three-legged variety? What scope are you...

Azklmsr, yours is a very timely thread for me. Here's why, I was thinking about trying a new load for my 375 H&H(s) using CFE223 and 300 Gr. Nosler Accubonds. I recently purchased a 9.3 X 62 for my son. Bob Nelson 35 Whelen has been trying to get me to try CFE223 in our 35 Whelen(s) for...

Pedersoncopycat, I have about 15 1896 Swedish Mausers in my safes. Some have been given to grandchildren I just store them. The one thing that I haven't seen is an inaccurate one. The last one I acquired was one of the original 40,000 built by Mauser in their Obendorf factory in 1896. I...

A year or so ago, I was sporterizing a BRNO VZ 24. I purchased a Timney trigger online from a major parts supplier and had some trouble getting it to work. I called Timney and asked for some ideas. In short order, I was told that I had the wrong trigger for that application. I was instructed...

John, I recently used these guys to get some parts for a Vintage Winchester Model 61. You might give them a try. https://homesteadparts.com/shop/

I've been to Africa only three times, all of them on Delta's Atlanta - Joburg. flight. I check my firearms in at my local Delta terminal and don't see them again till touchdown. Sixteen hours is a long boring flight, movies and sleeping take up a good bit of the time, at least for me...

perersencopycat, I know you were looking for a 6.5 X 55 in a Sako Bavarian, but have you taken a good look at the possibility of using a sporterized 1896 Swedish Swedish Mauser. They will shoot any load that the Sako will and at a substantial reduction in cost.

Mark, my oldest son Arthur Lambart II (who is also an AH member) is a Lefty. I was asking on his behalf. BTW the MRC guys also mentioned that "upgraded wood" would be standard on their new rifles.

Mark, I thought I'd back up our comments about Accuracy X pistols by posting a link to a video that is more than impressive. If you posted it, some might consider it "brag" by me posting it, it is just fact. Yea, it's Mark's pistol

Mark, when I talked to the guys from Montana Rifle Co. at the SCI Convention in Nashville a couple of months ago, they said they were going to offer all of their calibers in both right and left-handed models. The new MRC(s) are going to be made on a semi-custom basis and will need to be...

Welcome aboard RLD. Are you planning on taking your own or renting a rifle from your outfitter? While I cannot be considered a Canadian, I live about a mile and a half from the border.

Mark, were you shooting at your backyard range?

I'm the one that said ivory grips were pretty but not functional. Please let me clarify. I shot "Bullseye" at the National Pistol Matches for over 30 years. The match dates and times were fixed. Weather was not a consideration. We shot in the rain as long as there was no lightening in the...

Mark A Ouellette's comments and recommendations are spot on. If you are looking for a 1911 built for beauty alone don't bother with it. However, if you are looking for the best and most accurate American made 1911 available, the Accuracy X is the gun for you. For display purposes ivory etc...
