It’s OK now because I don’t have the old shoulder anymore my new ones made of metal. However my surgeon told me to shoot whatever I want I said what about recoil, he said you go ahead and shoot whatever you want. So that was good news and I do for the most part I have a 416 ruger and I shoot...
What you described sounds like a shootable rifle. Mine wasn’t, and I did shoot that rifle quite a bit, as a matter of fact, I shot it so much that the doctors that I had been seeing thinks that’s what caused my arthritis in my shoulder and I had to have the shoulder replaced about a year ago...
I’ve shot a lot bigger guns than the 378 Weatherby. I used to have at 340 Weatherby, no muzzle break but it was a piece of cake to shoot I’ve shot 500 nitro 577 Nitro not too bad, but that 378 it is just absolutely brutal I don’t care what the specs look like on paper , They are absolutely...
Mine weighed 10 1/2 pounds. I think it’s probably the hardest kicking rifle I’ve ever shot and I’ve shot a few big guns. Recoil is not only hard but it is also very fast. 375 H&H ,375 Weatherby but not the 378. Like someone else said earlier, the way the rifles designed doesn’t do you any...
I’m from Pennsylvania originally and about 1 June till the middle of September we would go up in the evening and shoot woodchucks. They call them groundhogs back there. I would take my 243 or 22 250 and we would have a good time shooting at them at about 300-450 yards, a lot of fun.
You guys have me curious now. I have 458 model 70 Winchester with a 24 inch barrel and the accurate 2460 is the fastest velocity that I’ve seen listed with any powder. I’m going to have to load some up and take it out and shoot it over my chronograph if we ever get any decent weather here. I...
How about a smith in 500 magnum? Trigger is beautiful and I have a 4 power leupold on mine. 50 yards is the farthest I’ve shot it but it will lay them in there. I think you can get them without the brake also. Chuck Hawks compared the two and the 500 came out on top except for recoil and...
I have the same rifle. The Kimber Talkeetna, VERY accurate. Kevlar stock match grade chamber. I love mine. I have a leupold varix7 1.5-6 power scope on it. Will shoot 3 shots well under an inch.
I had a total shoulder replacement. I asked my surgeon what rifles I would be able to shoot and he said anything you want, I said even very hard recoiling rifles? And he said anything you want. But I do wear a past recoil vest which helps a lot. I think the 375 and wearing a vest you would be...
15 to 20 shots clean it. If you are out hunting and you get moisture in the barrel clean as soon as possible at least when you get in at the end of the day even if the barrel is stainless, because stainless will rust. To me, that is breaking in a barrel.
I voted for the 270, however, in reality the 30-06 is more versatile. The reason I voted for is because I have one and have killed some game with it. I live here in Alaska, and up here you could hunt grizzly bear with a 30-06. With a premium 200 bullet I think you’d be OK , but personally I...
Prayers .......I know what you’re going through, my daughter has had many surgeries since birth. But the Lord smiled upon her and she’s doing well now.
It sucks to lose money and 16 might work but if he is knowledgeable about reloading I think he could have picked a better powder. You would probably get better accuracy with a slower burning powder also. I think I would spring for a slower powder and check the reloading manual, most have an...
We all have little Idiosyncrasies, those screw holes would bother me. I think if I were going to spend 1250 I would just buy a new rifle. It may not be in the 300 H&H but you could get it in the 300 Winchester. I know the 300 H&H is a classic though.
Back in June when that black bear killed 16-year-old boy who was running in a cross country race the troopers went up there and killed every blackbear they could find. I think in total they killed three or four black bears that were in that area and one of them was the right Bear. they found...
Years ago in the state of West Virginia a guy was in a campground and fed a sandwich to a Bear. The Bear took part of his finger when he took the sandwich. So they came back and shot the Bear as being dangerous when they should’ve shot the dumbass that feed him the sandwich.
