    OK Boys, let’s play a little trivia!

    Thats one of the LOTR characters, but I don't know the specifics of which book/movie.

    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    Fwiw, I just started another thread on this 25 RPM caliber today. Short version, its a redesigned 25-06 with no real advantage.. for example the Hornady Superformance line of ammo offers the 25-06 in 117gr SST at 3110 fps at half the price of this new thing that is a day old and can't possibly...

    25 RPM

    This is exactly what makes it so odd to me. Its not like the Hornady company releasing their version of a 25 (the 25 PRC, which they are doing). Weatherby already has their 257 Wby Mag, which is a better version of this caliber. Why would they release another 25 that is a downgrade from their...

    25 RPM

    https://weatherby.com/25-weatherby-rpm/ Anyone seen/heard about the "new" Weatherby 25 RPM cartridge? I nearly pi$$ed myself laughing at the idea when I saw their factory loaded 25 RPM with 117 grain SST bullets lists muzzle velocity of 3150, while my go-to factort load for 25-06, the Hornady...

    How many people have a 35 whelen?

    What issue did you have with the 700 safety? Maybe it's just me, but one big reason Im not a fan of the Winchester 70's is because of their safety style... I much prefer the 700 style.

    Light, flat & fast...What round should I choose?

    I'm late to the conversation and only read the first page of responses, but I would echo the common suggestion of anything in the .257 class. I love my .25-06, the Bob and Weatherby have a long history of performance, the new 25 CM seems promising as long as it has staying power, and Ackley...

    Want To Buy 30-06 Accubond

    Are you looking for loaded ammunition in 30-06, or just the Accubond bullets for loading? I might have a box of the loaded 30-06 ammo with accubonds, but I think they are 165 grain (if I haven't used that box).

    I cannot believe most of these Commiefornia gun laws still stand. You'd think they would have made their way to the Supreme Court to be declared unconstitutional by now.

    Politics

    A tax on people who are very bad at math. Sadly, this is not unlike the current market on new car purchases.. dealerships offering 72, 84, even 96 month terms just to make the payment "affordable." The per month payment may seem better, but people wind up upside down on the vehicle quickly and...

    Cape Buffalo Hunt-Bring or Rent a rifle?

    Specifically to your question, I rented a camp rifles for this year's Buffalo (and PG) hunt. I dont own a 375 or larger, and wasnt going to buyone when they had quality firearms available. First shot at the target range was dead on. Follow up to verify was 1/2" from the first. No need for...

    Cape Buffalo Hunt-Bring or Rent a rifle?

    I would not stoop so low as to talk anyone out of buying another rifle for their collection. And if you own/buy the rifle you want to use for your hunt, no matter what the quarry, I fully support it. But I am also a supporter of using a camp rifle assuming they have proper equipment. On 4...
