I would like to get a good digital scale. I know there are two main types: the simple scale that merely tells you what something weighs, and the type that meters out the powder charge to a preset weight. I suspect the latter can operate as a simple weighing scale as well. I am interested in...

I suspect "it's what they had" or "it's what they could afford" have affected the gear choices of many adventurers, professionals, and such for millennia. Later generations then spend much time pondering these gear choices with great reverence, looking for hidden meanings and wisdom that just...

Mostly I just hate the trigger. I suspect Timney can help me out with that.

At the risk of getting off subject, where does one aim the followup shots in this case? I think the first shot was between the eyes, and I think the second shot (from the guy in the middle anyway) looks like it was in the spine behind the skull.

It will be a while before I can start working with my .35 Whelen. I hope it's at least this good, minus the fouling. Whenever I read about the Lipsey's 9.3x62, I cry a bit since I didn't know that happened until recently. I think I'd have happily traded my CZ-550 away for a Ruger.

I don't know about in stock, but Lipsey's sent mine to my LGS about six weeks ago, so they still were sending them out that recently. I think they have been getting them from Ruger in small batches, so you can either prowl Gun Broker, or if you have a local dealer who has enough pull with...

He sounds like he was a wonderful man. I lost my father unexpectedly 28 years ago. You never get OK with it, but you get somewhat used to it.

Yes, other than quantity. They sell out of them too quickly.

I just got mine a couple of weeks ago. I won't have much chance to shoot it until the fall. I also plan to work up loads with the 250gr Speer and CFE 223. I may also try W748 and W760. I really like how you've set yours up. I may have to do something similar. I'm hoping to move to near...

I am very interested in hearing about this.

It seems I was a little inaccurate regarding my inventory of African rifles. Looking around here, I see that the 8x57 Mauser is popular with a lot of folks. I have a Remington 700 Classic in 8x57, so I guess I can count this one as well. I haven't touched it in a while. The last time I worked...

I probably should have joined up here a long time ago because of my interest in classic cartridges, especially those suited for Africa. The only "African rifle" I have is a CZ 550 in 9.3x62, but I do have a number of other hunting rifles. I've come close to getting a .375 H&H a few times, but...
