Iv'e had many favorites over the years but my current picks are :
.204 Ruger
.257 Roberts
.300 Savage
>338 win mag
450 Rigby
I feel like I'm cheating on my 7x57 ,.270 , .17 Rem.
THREE IS NOT ENOUGH ....BUT
.204 RUGER
257 ROBERTS
.275 RIGBY
.338 WINMAG
.450/400
AND I HAVE KILLED A LOT OF HOGS AND A FEW DEER WITH THE .300 SAVAGE JUST BECAUSE I LOVE MY MODEL 99 RIFLE
Has anyone here had an experience using the .300 Savage in Africa ?
I would not have ever considered it but I picked up an almost perfect 1938 vintage Model 99 at a gun show in this caliber and it is an absolute dream to carry and shoot . I realize it is very simular to the .308 that has been...
@Red Leg
Don't be unreasonable now .... I have a Remington custom shop 338wm , a berretta 686 and a wife I'll trade ya for it ???? the guns are like new
have you seen or know anybody that has let RJRenner do the Rigby make-over on a Ruger M77 or a #1 ???
It looks good on the web-site but I would sure like to see it in person .
I too have spent time in Bill's trophy room when it was still in Lubbock (my home town) it is awe inspiring to say the least .
My step father was a trim contractor and was hired to remodel this room back when I was a teenager ....I skipped school to go help just to be closed to my version of...
Scott did a great job on my Alaskan Black Bear !!!!
he' has done nearly all of my mounts and Iv'e never been disappointed .
If you need a first-rate taxidermist in the North Texas Area give him a call .
I use the Barnes vortex 225 gr in my .338 with great success on elk ,mule deer and african plains game and one unsuspecting coyote that had the misfortune of standing skylighted on a ridgetop last weekend !
I hunted this season with Infinito Safaris and Charl (owner) has his own dipping and packing facility and this service was included in my package price @ no cost ....ok yeah he probably works in somewhere but it is not seperate so it was much easier knowing exactly how much it was gonna cost as...
this may a bit off the wall but my favorite little coyote/antelope/whitetail rifle
is a petite ruger ultralite in .257 roberts . it isn't a 400 yd round but inside of 200 it is deadly as hell on the mid to small stuff . may need to reload to get the most out of it tho .
I agonized over this same question before i left for RSA this year , I had read and heard all the horror stories about lost guns and delays , but after talking with
Banner at Travel with Guns and speaking with the folks @ RiflePermits I decided to take my best friend with me (my .338wm) .
I...
YES SIR , THIS WAS A SPRING HUNT SO I'M SURE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HEAVIER IN THE FALL .
I HONESTLY THOUGHT HE WAS HEAVIER BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE GUIDE THAT HE EST. 400 +
HE WEIGHED ABOUT 400LBS.
I was hunting on Lake Beluga in central Alaska . i took another nice bear on this hunt that was actually heavier but his head was smaller ?
This guy dropped like a rock from a .338 in the chest from about 50yds.
while hunting in Alaska in 2013 .....shooting from a floating canoe was a new experience !
