Marcus looks like he doesnt know how to handle or shoot a bolt rifle. I was more worried about him shooting the already injured guy. If Id been the PH i would have left him at the truck for the follow up.

people buy them up immediately and then mark them up $1000 and sell them (on here for example). You can order one through any Winchester authorized dealer. There are supposed to be more available this summer.

Winchester still makes them. Midway and Cabelas had a bunch in stock in 458/416/375 last month.

if it was a one piece leupold style base they only have one screw in the back. Countless hunts all around the world in the harshest conditions relied on this system. Many military mauser based sporting rifles use this same setup to het around the stripper clip hump. I prefer two piece bases for...

I talked to Duane just the other day and his pamphlets are still available. There isnt. Better guy to do business with. The kind of information Im looking for tended to be published in old gun rags and gunsmithing books. I know somewhere I read a book chapter on cutting and welding two standard...

Growing up I feel like there was an almost endless selection of parts, stock blanks and articles related to modifying Mausers and Springfields into fine sporting rifles. As interest has shifted to black guns, not only is the parts market for building fine bolt guns vanishing but the knowledge is...

Well Ruark died 15 years before the 7mm-08 came out so thats fake news. 7mm-08 will do great. Does everything a 7x57 does with the same bullets but in a short action. Ignore the nonsense and shoot it confidently.

I also dont like the laminate wood stock on these rifles. Too thin, too light and too slick. The Hogue stock worked great for me though and made the rifle a totally different animal. I will echo the “dont hunt with the muzzle brake” warning. I had it on the rifle for a little while when working...

Does Barnes source from Norma ? I thought so. I wish I could get Norma to make 375 and 416 ruger brass

I have a ruger alaskan with the hogue stock and love it. I may even like it better than my model 70 safari express in 375 hh and I love that gun. That little stainless ruger works for dangerous stuff in Africa, and elk hunting in the US, or bear hunting...or deer hunting or just a bad weather...

This is an excellent deal on a nice rig. If I had a goos supply of brass set in id buy it for sure. Easy $800 of stuff with thr gun. I have an extended magazine plate on my sons 375 ruger and it works great. Morris at Alaska Arms is a great guy to do business with

I really like your current line of .458 bullets but premium bonded core 400, 450 and 500gr bullets that are a little shorter to allow more powder capacity in the 458 winchester magnum would be nice. Guessing this would require a larger lead core to copper base ratio. Thanks for asking.

Please done refinish !! That gun earned its wear and rust. Sell it to me and buy a new safari express.
